Bob Stoops Rundown?

[BlueDemon]

Hey can someone give me a rundown on this guy ? I gave up watching all College Sports b/c I went to a big school and IMO the whole thing is a fraud. So I really pay little attention - last game I watched all 60 mins was Texas v OSU.
Tks!

Yup and we were so far ahead of everyone else we still deserved to go to the game which is why we did.

what was the score of that USC game again?

what does that have to do with deserving to be in the game?

they lost to Boise St?

So did everyone else on their schedule. Boise is a good team.

how many losses to Ok State?

umm Stoops is 6-2 against the OSU cowboys

Took a college program that had been in the dumpster since the 80's and won a National Championship in two years.

Has the 2nd most wins of any NCAA Div I BCS school in the 8 years that he's been coaching.

Was hired as Spurriers defensive coordinator after Florida got stomped by Nebraska 62-0. Spurrier gave him carte blance over the defense, he completely retooled it and the next year Spurrier won his first National Championship which many credit Stoops for.

What, are we going to recruit talented highschool kids with Stoops to put us over the top?

 

[bbgun]

I'll never forget that game he lost to K State in the conf title game. Holy crap what a fraud.

 

[Air Force One]

Nope, instead of recruiting, we buy them.

Great insight.

Clearly winning a Championship in your 2nd year in a college program is ALL because of recruiting.

In your 2nd year.... you're lucky to have a handful of YOUR recruits making major contributions to your Championship.

Under Stoops, Oklahoma has won 86 games, spent 74 consecutive weeks in the national rankings, played in eight bowl games, five of the BCS variety, taken part in three national championship games and captured four Big 12 crowns. On a playing field leveled by scholarship limits and parity, this era stares down the Oklahoma standard and does not blink.

The achievement is so brilliant that it dulls the memory of what Stoops inherited. When he arrived in Norman, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record; four from a postseason appearance.



• OU has set or tied more than 170 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position (i.e., receptions by a running back). Among those marks under Stoops are passing for a game, season and career; receiving for a game, season and career; and rushing for a season.

• Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams won 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams reeled off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against I-A opponents.

• OU won the 2000 national championship, played for two more and captured five Big 12 South crowns and four Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 22 weeks at No. 1.

• An OU player has finished among the top seven in the Heisman voting five times: Adrian Peterson (No. 2 in 2004), Jason White (No. 3 in 2004), Jason White (No. 1 in 2003), Roy Williams (No. 7 in 2001) and Josh Heupel (No. 2 in 2000).

• OU has had a double-digit lead in 74 of 91 games.

• Oklahoma has played in eight bowl games. Never had an OU coach taken even his first three teams to bowls. Prior to Stoops’ arrival, OU had gone four straight years without a bowl, and had not played in one of what is now a BCS game since the 1988 Orange Bowl (1987 season). Stoops, in his second season, led OU to the 2001 Orange Bowl (2000 season).

• Under Stoops, OU produced 28 All-Americans, two AP Players of the Year (Heupel, White), two Nagurski Award winners (Williams, Derrick Strait), two Thorpe Award winners (Williams, Strait), two Butkus Award winners (Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman), one Bednarik Award winner (Lehman), one Lombardi Award winner (Tommie Harris), one Walter Camp winner (Josh Heupel) two O’Brien Award winners (Jason White twice), a Maxwell Award winner (White), a Unitas Award winner (White), an Outland Trophy winner (Jammal Brown) and one Mosi Tatupu Award winner (J.T. Thatcher). OU has had a Butkus finalist in four of the last five years and a Lombardi finalist in three of the last four. The Sooners also had finalists for the Biletnikoff, Groza, Guy, Hendricks, Mackey and Doak Walker awards.

Big 12 was 0-14 against ranked non-conference teams this past season. Why not hire the Boise St. coach? It seems he outcoached Stoops badly.
