Legendary coach Bob Stoops will retire after 18 seasons leading the Oklahoma Sooners and is prepared to inform his team on Wednesday, according to The Oklahoman and the coach himself.

The paper reports that, while Stoops plans to remain with the university, 33-year-old offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley will take over and lead the team this season.

"Bob got to do it in his way," a source told The Oklahoman. "Doesn't get any better than that."

Wow.

Peace out, "Big Game"

What a boom for Florida recruiting.

I mean that pretty much just leaves them and maybe LSU to compete for the absolute human trash that Bob Stoops will allow on his football team.

**** you, Stoops.

There has to be more to this story... i.e. a pending scandal.

A 56 year old HC with Stoops' stature doesn't suddenly retire this late in the offseason.

I don't follow big 12 football at all; what was his record as a coach? he's been around a long time.

I honestly have no idea.

A great Iowa Hawkeye.

Big rape/drug/human trafficking scandal to drop in the coming months at OU.

He did well in conference, but not so much in the big bowl games.


His teams were soft. A tough team like KSU or Sec team could punch them in the face and they would struggle.

Could be health related too

I cant recall which game in particular it was, but it was OU vs someone big; I remember thinking "oooh ,that'll be a good game."....so my wife and I sat down to wactch. I didn't even make it to halftime because of whatever fight song OU plays. Like, literally, they played it probably 50 times by halftime.

I said '**** this' and turned off the game lol.

It does seem like strange timing. I wonder if that means they will release some of the younger kids from their recruiting commit.

Boomer Sooner is annoying as **** but it's also as 'fight songy' as fight songs get. That song is college football through and through.

Even if you didn't know to associate it with OU football, the moment you heard that song you'd immediately think of football saturdays.

Yep, I can't wait to see the skeletons Big Game has in his closet. Maybe he can take the Big 12 crown from Art Briles.

Nobody will ever touch Paterno and PSU as the lowest of pond scum, but I think we'll see something big.

Let the Chip Kelly to Oklahoma rumors begin.
