Former Oklahoma Sooners coach Bob Stoops, during a visit to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in Oklahoma City, reminds everyone that Lincoln Riley took over a successful football program and OU will have more success under Brent Venables.

As journalism and sports media continue to evolve, so will I. I’ve done newspapers and radio, and now YouTube is where you’ll find my latest sports takes.

  1. SOONER!!!
    What a class act and just a wonderful human being. I said years ago that I didn't care if he remained head coach forever. I'd take never getting a championship to keep him around after seeing him at OU Children's visiting all the little cancer patients and hurt kids there. He's as solid of a good human being as they come.

  2. Guy is a joke, the OU fans are a joke the program gets lucky every what 25-30 years give me a break, Reminder Stoops gave Riley that Job, Stoops also didn’t come back for the kids he came back for that pay he “didn’t want to take” do you understand he was “still paid” I don’t care what anyone else has told you or said. Football is a Business even College Before the NIL coaches have always looked at this as a business. People are really ignorant but he you can’t fix stupid.

  3. I can think, as an OU rabid fan since I was 13 in 1971, of several keystone moments in OU football. But none, absolutely none, were as positively impactful as hiring Bob Stoops. Look at Nebraska and know that Bob saved Sooner football and I will always consider him, Bud and Barry the best OU coaches in history, with Bob being the most important cog….period.

  4. Bob Stoops you do deserve this recognition on your own, you leadership effected those around you and that's what made them great as well. You did it the right way and still do. Hope you and your family remain in Oklahoma and as a part of OU forever. Thank you Coach Bobby Stoops!

  5. For Bob to say that about Riley, he must be really upset with how everything went down. Stoops always thinks before he speaks, very gracious and humble in all his success. I can only imagine what his real opinion on Riley must be now

  6. Sadly Lincoln didn't buy into OU FOOTBALL
    I dont think he thought of it more then a job
    He wont stay at USC
    BUD BARRY BOB
    Along comes Brent

  10. Please tell us how much you miss Lincoln. Without telling us how much you miss him. OU once again acts as if Lincoln is the only coach to leave OU. He didn't invent OU football. Sure sounds like he did.
