Stoops and Winning Immediately

[FremontTroll]

Gather 'round young 'uns for a little Oklahoma football history hawt talk ( @RaceBannon can fill you in on the Bud Wilkinson era.)

Many of you may have a passing familiarity with the Switzer era and his famous wishbone offense since UW upset one of their better teams in the 1985 Orange Bowl (they would go on to win the 1985 National Championship with a win in the 1986 Orange Bowl.)

However after the NCAA lowered the boom on Oklahoma and Switzer resigned Oklahoma went on a prolonged downswing giving way to Colorado and then Nebraska as regional powers in the Big 8 and early Big 12.

When Stoops took over in '99 he was the fifth head coach in twelve years. Oklahoma had not won the Big 8 (or Big 12) since 1987 and had not won a major bowl game since 1986. The previous three coaches totaled just one game over .500 in conference.

Stoops won the BCS National Championship in Year Two.

Also, fun fact, Oklahoma plays on Owen Field.

Ridiculously good coach

I agree he’s the alpha choice here, but opposing fans will laugh at threads like this when we hire Kalani Sitake

Like, Stoops as a hypothetical candidate/pipe dream for this opening aside, in 2007 everyone knew the list of coaches who proved that the right coaches win right away and Stooops exemplifies that.

Sitake isn't leaving BYU

This. We have a better chance at Stoops than Sitake

Bud Wilkinson broke U Dubs winning streak. 47 straight

Barry Switzer said that Bud built the monster that had to be fed with win or you're fired.

Yeah, probably. But Stoops coming here would surprise me less than when we hired Pete.

what is with all the "Ducks fans and Cougs fans are seeing this"... "opposing fans are laughing" posts lately?

No offense but it's a beta question. Who gives a flying fuck what others think. We should be aiming high and hoping for the best guy possible, whether it happens or not. Everyone else can eat a bag of dicks.

I mentioned this earlier. The Oklahoma version of Stoops would be awesome. But I think the current version of Bob Stoops would be the equivalent version of Dennis Erikson at ASU.

What a fucking idiot

Kim would try and convince people why Nick Saban would be a bad hire

Texas didn't hit a home run when they hired Sark. They hit a grand slam.

you could make a strong case that was a significantly worse hire than Lake.

People forget that the great Steve Spurrier never got over the hump with a national championship and got ass blasted by the 1995 Nebraska team, then hired Stoops as DC and promptly won the 1996 natty. Also a a part of Kansas State's rise in the early 90s before heading to Florida.

Winners Win.
