[Irish Man3]

Odd timing..... Scandal?

Bob Stoops retires after 18 seasons with Oklahoma, Lincoln Riley to take over - CBSSports.com

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Could it possibly relate to Fresno, CA?

Odd timing..... Scandal?

I'd guess health or family or what you said?

 

[IrishLax]

Obviously just setting up his move to ND a la Urban at Florida.

 

[dwshade]

Wow very surprising. Maybe after the Mixon drama he's tired of dealing with college kids. He and his wife own property in Chicago which is apparently where she would like to live. Maybe he takes a break and then tries the NFL. Bears could be looking for a new coach next year.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Very surprising. Maybe we can get Pledger back on the phone?

He did recently buy a house in Chicago...

I would have to think so.

 

[PANDFAN]

Stated has nothing to do with health

 

[PANDFAN]

I would have to think so.

But he is remaining at the school so doubt it

There is a bigger story lurking out there, time will tell if it's meant to be heard.

He's taking over after BK is fired this year.

My guess...........Fall out from the Mixon fiasco. As a reward for his service, OU lets him step down and remain with the school to save face. Gone within a year.

And your 2019 OU football coach will be......

Les "Hat Trick Dicky" Miles

Even a Les Miles offense could score on those porous Big 12 defenses

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Wonder how this affects recruiting. Any OU leans/commits that could swing Notre Dame's way?

And... Other than the alcohol treatment?

 

[ACamp1900]

Many members of my wife's family will be depressed tonight... they love Stoops.

At this very moment, somewhere in South Carolina, Brent Venables is stringing together a rather impressive string of 4 letter words.

 

[BeauBenken]

Well...this will be talked about for a while.

Oh man I completely forgot about Venables

 

[NDgradstudent]

Higher-ups at ND won't sign on off on him after the Mixon episode.

Tom Herman is happy...path now open for UT.

 

[dwshade]

Could be as simple as he's tired of the grind. Maybe TV is part of his future. Brent Venables certainly would make sense as a long term replacement.

 

[stlnd01]

If there's nothing sleazy or health-related here and Stoops just needs a break or change of scene... he and Chip Kelly could both be on the market this fall. BK had better coach good.

Looks like Lincoln Riley beat him to it.

Man he's awfully young at 33.

Chip Kelly would be an awful fit at ND.
