Bob Stoops Rundown?

[BigDFan5]

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.

outcoached him badly? needed a 2 pointer in overtime on a trick play to win and he outcoached him badly?

OU has twice the talent of Boise so yes Stoops was outcoached.

 

[Gaede]

it's amazing that fans are so divided on Stoops

What's the deal here? Some people hate him and other love him.

People that like OU like him, everyone else doesnt. Thats my rough estimate.

I'm curious to know how all of these people feel about Charlie Weis being our next HC.

I'm a Longhorn fan... but I respect what he's done at OU. So, I guess you're wrong on that one.

You can respect what he has done in college while still thinking he is a disaster waiting to happen in the NFL.

 

[BigDFan5]

Great NFL credentials... :thumbdo:

no college coach has NFL credintials until they actually coach in the NFL


You a Texas fan by any chance?

His buyout clause is enormous. I havent been very impressed with his coaching at ND either, fake punt from your own 35, on your first drive, in a bowl game? I think he believes his hype way too much for anyone's good.

really? Thats why Boise was undefeated cause they werent good?

You have no idea of the talent level of those teams, both were very good

I agree.
Knute Rockne and Vince Lombardi could have been on the sidelines of the Boise state game in the fourth quarter and it wouldn't have mattered. Chris Peterson called a perfect game and the plays were executed to mind numbing perfection. Give the guy some GD credit. There is officially one coach in college football that has never been outcoached and that is Chris Peterson and his time will come. Outcoached? People get frickin real, who tells their players. "Hey look out for the statue of liberty on the 2 point conversion."

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.

Didn't White also win the Heisman? not that I am an OU fan...I hate the Sooners.

I don't care for Stoops and I don't want him as our HC....I wouldn't mind him as a Defensive Assistant who works his way up the ranks, but I don't want to just hand the keys to the Ranch over to him already.

I don't know how he'll do at the NFL level.

The only issue I have is that many people feel the need to bash anyone they don't agree with in order to make a point. Its the same as the Merriman vs Ware debates.. bash Merriman to make your point despite the fact that he's a VERY GOOD player.

yes in 2003

[Natedawg44]

He isn't going anyway. Some fans are pretty egotistical thinking any coach would fawn over the job opening. Stoops in an Ohio guy for the 417th time. He turned down the Browns. He's turned down Ohio State and the only place he said he would consider (Florida) TWICE. The more likely scenario is that he would tell Jerry no thanks to his meddling ways and no thanks to the NFL lifestyle.

 

[Biggems]

Honestly....if I were a D-1 College Coach and I had a top 15 program year in and year out....and job security...I would stay.

In college the coaches are treated like Greek Gods. They are put on a pedestal at their school.

I guarantee if you ask a USC student....they will tell you Pete Carroll can surf without a board....if you ask an OU student.....Bob Stoopes is the second coming of Barry Switzer

The hours aren't as long as the NFL....the coaches get to actually have a family life....they get to have that school spirit that we get hooked on during Fridays as a teenager....

This is why I dont see Pete Carroll, Bob Stoopes, or Mack Brown every leaving college for the Pros....Quite frankly, the juice isnt worth the squeeze.
