Oklahoma football: Which of OU’s legendary coaches had best rivalry success

At Oklahoma, all wins are considered important, and the Sooners have been blessed with a whole bunch of them. In the last 75 years, or what is considered the modern era of college football (1946 to present), no NCAA Division I team has more wins than the Sooners.

Since 1946 the Sooners have won 664 games. The next closest is Ohio State with 621, followed by Alabama with 620. Seventy-five percent of those 664 Oklahoma wins have been delivered by three legendary OU head coaches — Bud Wilkinson (1947-1963), Barry Switzer (157-29-4) and Bob Stoops (190-48) — who coached the Sooners in 51 of those 75 seasons.
