The OU head coach is entering his 18th season on the sidelines at Oklahoma and has been at his job the longest of any active football head college coach in the country who has continuously served at the same school. (Bill Snyder, one of Stoops’ longtime coaching friends former boss, has been the head coach at Kansas State for 24 years, but that was over two runs of 17 and seven years).
Stoops is already the winningest head coach in Sooner football history with 179 victories and 13 seasons out of 17 total with 10 or more wins.
