Bob Stoops became Oklahoma’s head football coach prior to the 1999 season and set sail on a remarkable 18-year run.

He accumulated a record of 190-48 and captured the 2000 National Championship & Big 12 titles - 8 more than any other school during his tenure.

His Sooners were 60-30 (0.677) against AP Top 25 opponents with 21 wins against top-10 foes and 11 victories.

Stoops was the only coach to win a National Championship and each of the BCS bowl games (Fiesta, Orange, Rose, Sugar). He completed that cycle when Oklahoma registered a 45-31 victory over NO. 3 Alabama in the 80th Allstate Sugar Bowl to cap the 2013 season.

Stoops picked up 19 Coach-of-the-Year honors including 8 on the National level.

OUs players were heavily decorated during Stoops’ years at OU. Two won the Heisman Trophy & a total of 7 were finalists for the award. 38 of Stoops’s players won National awards, 37 were first-team All-Americans and 83 were drafted into the NFL.
