How far OU football had fallen before Bob Stoops?
Bob Stoops, flanked by wife Carol and athletic director Joe Castiglione, is announced as the OU football coach on Dec. 1, 1998. (Oklahoman archive photo)My online chat from Thursday was loaded, of course, with great questions. I eventually ran out of time, but I saved the questions I couldn’t get to. So here is the rest of the chat.
Bruce: “Looking back to the place the program was when Stoops was hired. As a recent grad, my friends and I had conceded that we were at best the fourth-best job in the conference (behind Texas, Nebraska and A&M) and was more likely to move below Colorado and Tech than move up. I hope the 20somethings can appreciate what Boren, Castiglione and Stoops have done.”
