Oklahoma legend Bob Stoops on Monday announced his retirement from coaching after leading the Dallas Renegades of the XFL and UFL for three years. Other than spending more time with family, Stoops did not specifically say in his statement what is next for him, but many OU fans immediately thought of a future need the Sooners have that they want Stoops to fill.
In July, Joe Castiglione announced his plans to retire from his full-time role as OU's athletic director by the end of this academic year. He will still be around as an Emeritus Athletics Director before fully retiring in 2028, but OU still has to hire a new AD this year and has already began that search.
