Bob Stoops’ statue to immortalize OU’s winningest coaching era

On Saturday, a bronze statue of the winningest Sooner football coach will be dedicated on the lawn directly south of the Switzer Center outside of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and the head coach of 18 Oklahoma football seasons will take his deserving place among the statues of three other Sooner football coaching legends.

The statues of Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer are already there, and on Saturday, Stoops will officially make it a quartet, a group responsible for nearly 75 years of Oklahoma football greatness and almost 70 percent of the school’s 884 total wins.
