For 17 largely successful college football seasons Bob Stoops has held court up and down the sidelines at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and soon he will have his rightful permanent spot among the life-size representations of the great coaching legends in Sooner football history.
Stoops, the winningest coach in OU football history, is expected to be honored at some future date for his accomplishments in his time as the Sooners’ head coach. A life-size bronze statue will be commemorated in his honor and placed among the existing statues of three other OU coaching legends: Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer.
