Bobby brought OU outta the nightmarish '90s and back into superpower status.

One day, Stoops is gonna leave OU and we'll have to find the next great coaching giant...and that's ok.

Oklahoma has proven time and again that it will eventually reload and flourish. Hopefully, it'll be awhile before we have to do it again. In any event...

Thanks, Bob.

Amen!

And one added bit of gratitude. Thanks, Bob, for having built a program whose participants are learning how to win; in football AND in life. The only real controversy we have seen is whether the BCS ratings are working, whether the strength and conditioning coach is too hard on the players, and whether the stadium name is appropriate.

It is great to be a part of a Sooner dynasty. The third in my life as a Sooner fan.

Best Thread I've seen all summer!
Thanks Octavian and a BIG THANKS COACH STOOPS

[OKC-SLC]

word.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Octavian again.

[sooner94]

I could not agree more. In addition to the winning, NC contention and our ownership of Texas in the RRS, he is a quality guy that runs a clean program.

Just think about the guys like Clayton, Cody, etc (too many to mention) that have played at OU under Stoops. Great players and great people. Both of those things matter to Stoops.

[birddog]

thanks for giving us some perspective. we're some lucky SOB's.

[Snrfn4ever08]

great thread. i'd like to extend the thanks to castiglione for finding and hiring such a classy and quality guy. he and stoops are the two main components for ou's return to glory. thanks guys:D

[sooner n houston]

Thanks Bob from a lifelong Sooner fan!!!

[Wishboned]

Thanks Coach for bringing the shine back to the program.

Thanks for bringing a hard work ethic and instilling it in the players.

Thanks for not being afraid to discipline a player, no matter what their abilities or star status are.

Thanks for making it clear that you love the Sooners and it's not a stepping stone for another head coaching job at another university.

Thanks for making Saturdays something to look forward to again for reasons other than just having the day off.

[Sco]

Stoops has also lead the Sooners to the best win-loss record of ANY team in the NCAA between the years of 2000-2005.

Interestingly enough, UT is just behind by a game or two...

[Octavian]

He's won 3 Big XII Championships....

Make that Four. :D

Great post but don't leave out this spectacular season! This season may have been his best yet considering all of the obstacles.

He didn't leave it out. That post was made last July.

Duly noted.

[Desert Sapper]

Thanks, Bob, for taking a team that no non-Sooner fan believed could win, and winning your fourth Big XII title in the 8 seasons you've been here. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, this was the best coaching job by anybody in the country. I hope you stay at least another 8 years.

[TheLadiesMike]

Thanks for not being afraid to discipline a player, no matter what their abilities or star status are.

And then he proved it a week later. :cool:

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

This is much more refreshing than the Bob Stoops, you have lost your ability to win big games and maybe it is time for both of us to get a fresh start threads after the whorn game :P

[picasso]

you had me at certainly.

[RedStripe]

In a great way.

[OUTrumpet]

It's been a great ride so far...here's to several more great years!

[stoopified]

I'm just STOOPIFIED by Bob and the Sooners.

[Blues1]

Hasn't Bob and the Sooners also have a 20 game Win Streak....I'll take a couple more of those...... :)

[aero]

Don't forget 1 Lombardi winner, 2 Butkis winners, and 2 Thorpe winners. Yes, thank you, Mr. Stoops.

[StoopTroup]

BEST BUMPED THREAD in quite awhile....

[AzianSooner]

i would like to edit "3 big 12 champ" to "4 big 12 champ" .

Seems like there was a Maxwell in there somewhere too.
