I agree. OU is fortunate to have such a class act who’s willing to step up when his former team needed him.

Michigan man here and Stoops is all class. That was a fiery statement he made, hell I was pumped up.

Why does it matter what team you cheer for you’re a football fan

Much appreciated Buckeye. It's OU, we will prevail. Thanks to a Buckeye. Bob Stoops

Why do you care?

Thank you for that, no Horns- down for you today sir.

@@dsumpter5450 I agree wow. No horns down today thanks for the support

He may not be my favorite guy, but you have to respect the man. I liked what his brother did for you guys, though...that was awesome! 🤣 But Bob Stoops has always demanded respect and he deserves it. Pure class.

@@dsumpter5450 Hey, the success of our teams is tied to each other's. I've always had nothing but respect for OU, and glad we are both going to the SEC. Also, the horns down doesn't offend me, it's all part of the game and the rivalry. I think most UT fans really feel this way. Y'all deserved more respect from your outgoing coach, especially toward his players and recruits. It's no secret that he's a big name coaching prospect. I think I can speak for most people, in that we all thought his loss would be to the NFL... not a lateral move to another NCAA program. In all reality, it's a step down. If I were OU, I'd try to keep Stoops on for at least a season, while more vacancies and coaching prospects develop. It provides continuity for the players and recruits, and shows that you've currently got a proven coach on staff.

Thanks man. I got respect for the Mac attack so the feeling is mutual

I'm sure Les Miles would come back to LSU. Haha

@@danielduncan7979 oh hell no.....lol👎

Much love from the prairies to the bayou! Being a sooner I've always respected LSU, can't hold them down they have the fight! 🇺🇸

It’s the transition to the sec I’m worried about lol

Thank you for your comments.

Took time out of his retirement? Dude was a Big Noon Kickoff analyst on fox.

@@alibifirer2799 which is a sight less stressful as being a head coach. Also less time consuming. So let's say semi retirement.

SOONER!

BBBOOOOOOMMMMEEERRR!

SOONER!!!

LET'S GO BRANDON!! 😂🇺🇸

I’m sure Benny and Bud would’ve been there too if they were still alive. Only one program has 4 separate coaches with over 100 wins. We invented winning. *_Boomer Sooner_*

They won’t he was losing to SEC teams in the bowl games too

This is like putting a band aid on an open wound. Stoops is not the long term answer. Stoops is here for 1 game and if anybody wants more games with Stoops then that is asking for bad news.

@@javtimestwo You obviously didn't understand his comment.

@@stevejohnson6248 What is there to understand? He was sent out there to be a cheerleader and send a message that all is well. But it really is not

More like being a man and stepping up. Im glad to see coach stoops being coach stoops again. Even if it is for a short time.

Heir of Carthage and OU Football wasn't the crossover I expected but I'm here for it

Okahoma is the better job-place to live than USC-LA...... I would even rather live in Oklahoma than Los Angeles. Only good thing about LA is the beach, the drive out to nice places 1-2 hrs away and Beverly Hills.... Other than that Norman is even better. Plus Oklahoma has nicer stadium, fans, facilities, media,etc LA mem colliseum is horrific after the renovations. Its actually a worse stadium.

@@reganstevenson9444 why are you talking about Lincoln Riley on a Bob Stoops video?

I think Mike Gundy deserves just as much for his leadership and loyalty to OSU. He is Mike Gungy the head coach north of OKC in a little town called Stillwater, Oklahoma, and will be until the end of his career and beyond, Cowboy orange is part of his blood. As always, I will have your back in the Big 12 championship game and (crossing fingers) hopefully the Playoffs too, unless you're playing OU. (ugh) Go Pokes!!!

@@tomwoods6082 There’s no coach I’d rather have than Gundy. I think his brother should get a shot at the OU job. He played there. He’s been on the coaching staff there since 99. When asked why he’s never joined Mike in Stillwater he said he would never leave OU. That’s the type of dedication they need in the new coach.

Who would say anything negative about Bob?

I used to respect him too....until his handling of the Mixon crap.

Agreed that Mixon was a bad look

@@cowboyvalley what did he do?

@@cowboyvalley Bob stoops handled the mixon thing the best he could!

@@nickbadry4122 How did he handle it?

Bob seems to be irritated by this whole situation, but he always steps-up to do the right thing.

Bro I'm telling you

HOW OLD ARE YOU???

@@nicolep7241 Old enough to know that Bob Stoops is a national treasure!!!

Personally I think he’ll end up being the head coach next season

I would love for Bob to come back. By far more disappointed when he left than I am now. Love Bob Stoops.

If they don't offer him the job then they're dumb as dirt! He's the perfect coach to see them through the SEC transition.

I’m sure Stoops knows the job is his if he wants it. Don’t expect him to take it but anything’s possible. I think it’s a class act of him to step up for the bowl game

@@andrewvaughn3690 Who knows? He took a long break and maybe he missed it.

Oh I bet 2 days ago you were just fine with who you had

@@prestonmikel1 nah a lot of us didn’t really like Riley.

OK that is really good for the bowl game but what is the plan for 2022 and beyond? I tell you what, Stoops is not the answer. Big game Bob is not the answer. I guess he can fire up the team for 1 game but that's about it. Asking for more from Stoops is a dream! OU is in big trouble because more players are going to leave the program to play for Riley or someone else.

The word is "LOYALTY' Bob Stoops has it, Lincoln Riley does not.

he did what was best for him. Hard to say thats not what you or I would have done. At the end of the day we each do whats best for us and our families.

@@johnhatton730 Shut up

Gutter? I am elated that Bob is back. It's great!

Get out of here. If you can’t be positive then you have nothing to add. So sick of whiney ass Husker fans

I’m trying to be positive lol. I’m saying I hope Nebraska can pull its head out of the gutter and be competitive again. I know OU fans and college football fans in general would not have a problem with Nebraska being competitive again.

@@huskerdee1431 Sorry, OU fans are fumin' right now so they're just kinda lashing out at everything and everyone. Please excuse them lol.

@@bigd7481 Speak for yourself. Bob is back! This is great!

Thank you for your comments

Hey Boomer Sooner for life but I am rooting for the Dawgs to win it all this year. Go Dawgs!

Bob genuinely loves OU.

I think he will for a while. He really cares about OU. If he is going out recruiting I think the first question I would ask as a recruit is are you going to coach me. We really need him to stay as head coach for a few years. I heard 4 of the top recruits have already turned away.

@@sisyphus9252 it’s gonna be Brent venables

@@sisyphus9252 nah. He’s there to find the new coach. Bobs role should be this right here. He’s bigger than being coach at this point he needs to be the consultant of all decisions made OU

@@jacobsmith5865 How do you know?

There's a reason he just got into the CFB Coaches Hall of Fame. Dude is made of class and integrity. Sadly we missed the mark there on this latest coach but hopefully the next will be.

Thanks. Good luck Michigan 👍

He would fix the defense!

I dig it. He’s the one that I’m hoping for, although Rhule is more proven at this point. But BV is a great defensive mind with a lot of ties to Norman.

Venables would be phenomenal. Wanted him at Auburn.

PLEASE COME BACK BRENT!!!

I gotta say…I was really glad when he stepped down. I thought it was time. Now? I feel like the luckiest fan in the world to have a guy of his class walking around the University.

@@thecommongoodtube agree 100% on all of it

@@jeffring8954 Riley lost so many big games and games that nobody thought they would lose lol please 😂

I love Bob Stoops as the OU coach. This is great news.

Oklahoma will dominate them, with Lincoln Riley as their HC.

Poor Oklahoma. The school that secretly left for the SEC. Hoping to dismantle the Big 12. Sorry no white tears for these low life's.

@@toddrainer3889 how many other teams did the same thing over the years. Only reason this is such a big deal is because it’s OU and Texas. They bring 50% of the money by themselves they have every right to leave.

@@jessebloom8834 yes they do. Didn't say they didn't. But that Karma is already kicking in for both schools. Texas loses to Kansas and OnoU loses it punk azz coach.

as an ou fan we're done for. we should never have moved to the sec. the program's glory days are over now.

@@AD-oy8nm Dabo will be the next coach for OU

@@s.o.l.o7775 they should just shut down the ou program.

Yeah. I'm a Notre Dame fan but I respect what he did. I like his energy as a coach.

Same. Wish hed come back.

I've lost ALL respect for Riley. Lied to his players, lied to parents. Zero loyalty, zero heads up to the AD or the University, leaves before the bowl game and then takes half the coaching staff??? No, zero respect for that shady move.

@@conservachick100 Ageed, he literally walked into to a meeting with the players and coaches and said I’m going to USC and walked out. I knew he was soft but I didn’t think he was disloyal.

@@conservachick100 Who cares. Would take Bob over Riley anyday.

@@JH-oo7dr where did you hear this

@@gordongoodman8342 I agree

What?? It's awesome. Wish he'd stay.

Well said thank you for your comments

That's a man that bleeds Sooner Red!!!

Thank you for being cool.

Classy, but… y’all have really came out of nowhere the last 24-36 hours 😂

@@ammoniawilder4451 I have to agree. I don't even know who their QB is.

@@ammoniawilder4451 lol, I know right. I found out about all this when I was at church. I was completely floored.

@@conservachick100 his name is Jackson Dart. He’s going to be special.

Coach Stoops had to convince Lincoln Riley into addressing the players before he left, as I heard.
