Bob Stoops suddenly retires as Oklahoma football coach after 18 seasons

[yallerdawg]

Shocker. He was good!


"Stoops, the winningest head coach in Oklahoma history, has led the Sooners to a school-record 18 consecutive bowl berths, along with 10 Big 12 titles. He also holds the longest active streak of any FBS head coach while leading the program to eight or more victories each of the past 17 seasons."

1. Well that's a shocker.

Stoops won and won, but often not real pretty about it.

My interest is as an Iowa fan. Stoops was one of Hayden Fry's coaching legacies.

2. Surprised but not shocked

There was a lull in the program a few years ago and much of the discussion was about Stoops being burned out.

3. This is a very odd

time to retire. I am waiting for the shoe to drop - just sayin.
