Apathy Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wow Some are saying health issues (heart) and others are speculating of how he handled the Joe Mixon ordeal. Either way Bob was a class act and a hell of a coach. I'd take him at Nebraska any day of the week He probably would have been here had it not been for a certain retiring HC getting to pick his successor.Really? I've heard of Alvarez wanting the job. Didn't know Stoops could've been here instead of Solich Quote Link to comment

But TO got his way to hand the reigns to Solich instead. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think that is probably true. He is super rich...why put up with it anymore? The complaining of fans and the recruiting trips (if he does them a lot, I don't know) but still...Go enjoy life. Do some pregame shows if you are bored. Quote Link to comment

It also has to do with wanting a fresh start sometimes. He was kind of the last of a breed of coaches that sticks around at one school for 15+ years. Quote Link to comment

OU fans have been dissatisfied with Stoops because he only won 1 national championship. I am sure he was thinking "I don't need to put up with this crap, I can go enjoy life." Quote Link to comment

RedSavage Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There is NO WAY this was planned. It's either health-related or disciplinary. You don't just up and decide now that you want to retire. EDIT - hmmmmm......... I'll be pretty surprised if there's nothing more going on here Quote Link to comment
