Former OU football coach Bob Stoops takes new job with Fox pregame show, per report

Bob Stoops is back in college football.

Just not on the sidelines.

The former OU coach is joining Fox’s college football pregame show, Big Noon Kickoff, as first reported by the New York Post. Stoops will replace Urban Meyer, who was hired in January to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Stoops, who retired from coaching the Sooners in 2017, was the focus of Fox’s search to replace Meyer, according to the Post. A source told the newspaper that Meyer spoke to Stoops about the job and its duties.

Meyer spent two seasons with Fox.
