I am a Buckeye fan but what Coach Stoops is doing just shows how honorable of a man that he is! OU is lucky to have him on their sideline once again. Good luck to the team as long as it's not against the Buckeyes!
I agree. OU is fortunate to have such a class act who’s willing to step up when his former team needed him.
Michigan man here and Stoops is all class. That was a fiery statement he made, hell I was pumped up.
Why does it matter what team you cheer for you’re a football fan
Much appreciated Buckeye. It's OU, we will prevail. Thanks to a Buckeye. Bob Stoops
Why do you care?
As an LSU fan, I have a lot of respect for Bob Stoops for coming back to help. Shows great character and pride for the program. OU will be fine.
I'm sure Les Miles would come back to LSU. Haha
@@danielduncan7979 oh hell no.....lol👎
Much love from the prairies to the bayou! Being a sooner I've always respected LSU, can't hold them down they have the fight! 🇺🇸
It’s the transition to the sec I’m worried about lol
Thank you for your comments.
I'm a lifelong Longhorn fan, but I've got nothing but respect for Coach Stoops. Pure class-act on his part to step in line this.
Thank you for that, no Horns- down for you today sir.
@@dsumpter5450 I agree wow. No horns down today thanks for the support
He may not be my favorite guy, but you have to respect the man. I liked what his brother did for you guys, though...that was awesome! 🤣 But Bob Stoops has always demanded respect and he deserves it.
Pure class.
@@dsumpter5450 Hey, the success of our teams is tied to each other's. I've always had nothing but respect for OU, and glad we are both going to the SEC. Also, the horns down doesn't offend me, it's all part of the game and the rivalry. I think most UT fans really feel this way.
Y'all deserved more respect from your outgoing coach, especially toward his players and recruits.
It's no secret that he's a big name coaching prospect. I think I can speak for most people, in that we all thought his loss would be to the NFL... not a lateral move to another NCAA program. In all reality, it's a step down.
If I were OU, I'd try to keep Stoops on for at least a season, while more vacancies and coaching prospects develop. It provides continuity for the players and recruits, and shows that you've currently got a proven coach on staff.
Thanks man. I got respect for the Mac attack so the feeling is mutual
OU is blessed to have a guy like coach Stoops.
The man took time out of his retirement to come back and help the Sooner football team.
Took time out of his retirement? Dude was a Big Noon Kickoff analyst on fox.
@@alibifirer2799 which is a sight less stressful as being a head coach.
Also less time consuming.
So let's say semi retirement.
Thanks Coach Stoops for stepping in and helping. Great to have a familiar and loyal face to see when we need it most.
This is like putting a band aid on an open wound. Stoops is not the long term answer. Stoops is here for 1 game and if anybody wants more games with Stoops then that is asking for bad news.
@@javtimestwo You obviously didn't understand his comment.
@@stevejohnson6248 What is there to understand? He was sent out there to be a cheerleader and send a message that all is well.
But it really is not
More like being a man and stepping up. Im glad to see coach stoops being coach stoops again. Even if it is for a short time.
Heir of Carthage and OU Football wasn't the crossover I expected but I'm here for it
First class Bob Stoops and with Barry Switzer being there, that’s commitment to the greatness of OU football. BOOMER!!!
SOONER!
BBBOOOOOOMMMMEEERRR!
SOONER!!!
LET'S GO BRANDON!! 😂🇺🇸
I’m sure Benny and Bud would’ve been there too if they were still alive.
Only one program has 4 separate coaches with over 100 wins.
We invented winning. *_Boomer Sooner_*
He said it best, "no one man is bigger than the program".
I'm born and raised in Texas. Longhorn for life. I am not an OU fan at all...Stoops is truly a class act. I hope OU tears the shit out of everyone they play moving forward
They won’t he was losing to SEC teams in the bowl games too
As a OSU fan who watched as this man crushed our spirit, every single year, there’s not a coach out there who deserves more respect.
Okahoma is the better job-place to live than USC-LA...... I would even rather live in Oklahoma than Los Angeles. Only good thing about LA is the beach, the drive out to nice places 1-2 hrs away and Beverly Hills.... Other than that Norman is even better. Plus Oklahoma has nicer stadium, fans, facilities, media,etc LA mem colliseum is horrific after the renovations. Its actually a worse stadium.
@@reganstevenson9444 why are you talking about Lincoln Riley on a Bob Stoops video?
I think Mike Gundy deserves just as much for his leadership and loyalty to OSU. He is Mike Gungy the head coach north of OKC in a little town called Stillwater, Oklahoma, and will be until the end of his career and beyond, Cowboy orange is part of his blood. As always, I will have your back in the Big 12 championship game and (crossing fingers) hopefully the Playoffs too, unless you're playing OU. (ugh) Go Pokes!!!
@@tomwoods6082 There’s no coach I’d rather have than Gundy. I think his brother should get a shot at the OU job. He played there. He’s been on the coaching staff there since 99. When asked why he’s never joined Mike in Stillwater he said he would never leave OU. That’s the type of dedication they need in the new coach.
As an OSU fan, I always respected Bob Stoops. I still wanted to beat him real bad... but I always respected him.
I used to respect him too....until his handling of the Mixon crap.
Agreed that Mixon was a bad look
@@cowboyvalley what did he do?
@@cowboyvalley
Bob stoops handled the mixon thing the best he could!
@@nickbadry4122
How did he handle it?
Say what you want about Bob but loyalty is a very good trait to have. 18 seasons says a bunch. And he had several chances to go elsewhere, both college and NFL. Thank you Coach Stoops.
Who would say anything negative about Bob?
Coach Stoops is the definition of class! What a great man!
Stoops is a legend. We are lucky to have him
Bob seems to be irritated by this whole situation, but he always steps-up to do the right thing.
OkState fan here… Nothing but respect to coach Stoops, even more today seeing him taking the interim role to help out the program. Nothing but huge respect to him. He loved OU. All the best!!!
I have so much respect for bob
Bro I'm telling you
Thank you coach Stoops a man of character and credibility. We need something right now as fans. There’s only one OU.
Wouldn’t mind if coach Stoops came back permanently. Good of him to step in and coach the bowl game
Personally I think he’ll end up being the head coach next season
I would love for Bob to come back. By far more disappointed when he left than I am now. Love Bob Stoops.
If they don't offer him the job then they're dumb as dirt! He's the perfect coach to see them through the SEC transition.
I’m sure Stoops knows the job is his if he wants it. Don’t expect him to take it but anything’s possible. I think it’s a class act of him to step up for the bowl game
@@andrewvaughn3690
Who knows? He took a long break and maybe he missed it.
As a lifelong Gator, Florida won a NC in '96 with Bob Stoops as our Defensive Coordinator. He was a first-class act then just as he is today. I rooted for OU except when they played Florida and still do. It will be exciting having OU and Texas in the SEC.
To the Ohio State Oklahoma state Texas and LSU fan that made the comments about Bob Stoops being a class act.... you guys are right. And I respect the class they you have as well. Much respect to you all
Bob is definitely the glue of the football program. Thank you Bob for stepping in.
He's a leader. Period.
Switzer in the house? Sweet...
He said more inspiring words in two minutes than Riley said in five yrs.
Love ya Coach Bob for being a man of integrity, honor and commitment. i'm 62, and my grandfather taught me BE A MAN OF YOUR WORD. IF YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, DO IT OR KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! THAT'S WHAT KIND OF MAN COACH BOB IS-A MAN OF HIS WORD.
This is a all-hands-on-deck moment for OU, and Coach Stoops is right out front. So glad the OU leadership and Coach Stoops are stepping up and taking control of the situation. Sooner Nation is in good hands. Boomer!
OK that is really good for the bowl game but what is the plan for 2022 and beyond? I tell you what, Stoops is not the answer. Big game Bob is not the answer. I guess he can fire up the team for 1 game but that's about it. Asking for more from Stoops is a dream! OU is in big trouble because more players are going to leave the program to play for Riley or someone else.
The word is "LOYALTY' Bob Stoops has it, Lincoln Riley does not.
he did what was best for him. Hard to say thats not what you or I would have done. At the end of the day we each do whats best for us and our families.
@@johnhatton730
Shut up
Gotta love Bobby Stoops. That’s a man of honor. Not a weasel or a coward.
Oh I bet 2 days ago you were just fine with who you had
@@grenade.turtle nah a lot of us didn’t really like Riley.
Even in turmoil OU still has better leadership than my Huskers….respect from Nebraska. I hope we can pull our heads out of the gutter soon
Gutter? I am elated that Bob is back. It's great!
Get out of here. If you can’t be positive then you have nothing to add. So sick of whiney ass Husker fans
I’m trying to be positive lol. I’m saying I hope Nebraska can pull its head out of the gutter and be competitive again. I know OU fans and college football fans in general would not have a problem with Nebraska being competitive again.
@@huskerdee1431 Sorry, OU fans are fumin' right now so they're just kinda lashing out at everything and everyone. Please excuse them lol.
@@bigd7481
Speak for yourself. Bob is back! This is great!
You know in a time when every single person is looking out for themselves this might be one of the most inspiring moments from an unimportant needless press conferences about sportsball. Watching the joy that Bob has been able to accept the challenge of helping Oklahoma through this time is some of the most inspiring shit I’ve ever seen.
Rename this video. It should be called “Bob Stoops continues to be a fucking national treasure”
HOW OLD ARE YOU???
@@nicolep7241 Old enough to know that Bob Stoops is a national treasure!!!
Nebraska alum here....this does not surprise me at all. This man has class, loyalty, and is honorable. So excited to watch your bowl game snd we'll see you in Lincoln in the fall!!
I've been waiting on coach stoops reaction. He's stepping in as interim coach!? Wow words cannot describe how respectable this man is. Almost gives me chills
There's a reason he just got into the CFB Coaches Hall of Fame. Dude is made of class and integrity. Sadly we missed the mark there on this latest coach but hopefully the next will be.
well i am glad someone has finally brought some sanity to this situation! a press conference was sorely needed!
Bob Stoops & Barry S = 4 National Championships very good company for a group of young men. Thanks to both of you. You prove again to be a champions.
As a longhorn fan. This guy is up there with the most respectable men. Absolute leader.
Man i didn't think seeing hi up there would do so much for me. i didn't know this would effect so much but man i was real down about 5 minutes ago its crazy how lucky we are to have stoops and how him simply stepping up and saying its gonna be alright actually makes you feel like it just might be.
I gotta say…I was really glad when he stepped down. I thought it was time. Now? I feel like the luckiest fan in the world to have a guy of his class walking around the University.
@@thecommongoodtube agree 100% on all of it
Wow! Didn't know stoops was stepping in and helping the program. Dude is a legend for sure. Btw buddy looks great! Wouldn't mind if he took the reigns over for a few years and molded a new HBC that will stick with the program for a couple decades.
Gotta say I’m routing for you guys, being a Michigan fan I know how it sucks to have bullshit after going through success. Would love to see OU and Michigan start this season and next 10 years being dominant.
It was nice to hear a true leader
speak for OU football again
USC fan and alum here. I’ve always admired OU from afar and have respected Coach Stoops for a long time. I’m glad USC hired Lincoln Riley, but I didn’t appreciate how it went down. I’d imagine the way OU fans feel about Lincoln Riley leaving is similar to how USC fans felt when Pete Carroll left, likely worse. You guys are in good hands with Coach Stoops. I want to apologize on behalf of the USC program for how this all went down.
Im gone always have a special place in my heart for bob for riding with my wolverines this weekend lol. ..go blue and good luck OU nation
Thanks. Good luck Michigan 👍
Red Raider fan... When I think of OU football I think Bob Stoops... The dude is a relentless competitor and he shoots from the hip! This here just shows this man's love and commitment to OU and he's all in! He's right this is just a bump in the road! Wreck'Em!
I love Bob Stoops as the OU coach. This is great news.
Wish bob would become the head coach again
Bob genuinely loves OU.
I think he will for a while. He really cares about OU. If he is going out recruiting I think the first question I would ask as a recruit is are you going to coach me. We really need him to stay as head coach for a few years. I heard 4 of the top recruits have already turned away.
@@sisyphus9252 it’s gonna be Brent venables
@@sisyphus9252 nah. He’s there to find the new coach. Bobs role should be this right here. He’s bigger than being coach at this point he needs to be the consultant of all decisions made OU
@@jacobsmith5865
How do you know?
Crazy how much more testosterone old bob has compared to a young Riley lol
@@jeffring8954 Riley lost so many big games and games that nobody thought they would lose lol please 😂
Bob Stoops, Great Man with a Great Heart. Can not wait for OU to join the SEC and make the conference better than what it is. GO DAWGS!!!
Thank you for your comments
Hey Boomer Sooner for life but I am rooting for the Dawgs to win it all this year. Go Dawgs!
RJ young has united OU and OSU fans. So, from a Buckeye....thank you Coach Stoops. Welcome back Sir.
We love Bob Stoops here in Indianapolis Indiana. Thank you Bob 👀❤️
As an Ohio State fan, Bob Stoops is Oklahoma football. He carries class with tradition. God bless him,. GO BUCKS!
Bob is a legend! How many retired coaches will step in when something like this happens. This is why he will always be OU’s greatest coach.
Yeah. I'm a Notre Dame fan but I respect what he did. I like his energy as a coach.
As a Longhorn fan I've always had nothing but respect for Bob Stoops and now that respect just grew exponentially!! Way to step in and be there, never cared to Riley know he was a snake in the grass
Traber reported Venables is on the ground in Norman.
He would fix the defense!
I dig it. He’s the one that I’m hoping for, although Rhule is more proven at this point. But BV is a great defensive mind with a lot of ties to Norman.
Venables would be phenomenal. Wanted him at Auburn.
PLEASE COME BACK BRENT!!!
Stoops looks incredible for being 60. He looks like he's in his early 40s. He's also a great coach and a great guy.
I NEVER WAS A BIG FAN OF COACH STOOPS BUT I AM NOW. WHAT A COACH TO STEP IN AND HELP OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL NOW. WHAT A Honorable coach . Thanks coach stoops
Poor Oklahoma. The school that secretly left for the SEC. Hoping to dismantle the Big 12. Sorry no white tears for these low life's.
@@toddrainer3889 how many other teams did the same thing over the years. Only reason this is such a big deal is because it’s OU and Texas. They bring 50% of the money by themselves they have every right to leave.
@@jessebloom8834 yes they do. Didn't say they didn't. But that Karma is already kicking in for both schools. Texas loses to Kansas and OnoU loses it punk azz coach.
You're our hero Bob Stoops! We love you more than you could know. Thank you for being with the Sooner Nation. Boomer Sooner! #☝
Baylor fan here. This is one of the best press conferences I’ve heard in a while. Good on Stoops for this.
HUGE OU Homer here... this man has NOTHING but all of my respect and gratitude.
It's nice to see BIG BOB up there again
Coach Stoops was the only Fox Analyst Picking the Michigan Wolverines to win "THE GAME" before the game started. He also appreciated Jim Harbaughs loyalty to Michigan and the University Sticking with Jim Harbaugh. The Law of Diminishing returns comes into play at some point in Coaching! OU will have to navigate this the best they can. Hoping USC and Oklahoma will be on a collision course in the near future!
Oklahoma will dominate them, with Lincoln Riley as their HC.
I didn’t lose respect for Lincoln Riley leaving for another gig as a young-ish coach, but I really respect Coach Stoops for stepping in after a crushing moment for OU. We’re looking at what seems to polar ends of no loyalty vs. true loyalty, and it is interesting overall because people didn’t expect either Riley to leave or Stoops to sort of step up out of nowhere
I've lost ALL respect for Riley. Lied to his players, lied to parents. Zero loyalty, zero heads up to the AD or the University, leaves before the bowl game and then takes half the coaching staff??? No, zero respect for that shady move.
@@conservachick100 Ageed, he literally walked into to a meeting with the players and coaches and said I’m going to USC and walked out. I knew he was soft but I didn’t think he was disloyal.
@@conservachick100
Who cares. Would take Bob over Riley anyday.
@@JH-oo7dr where did you hear this
@@gordongoodman8342 I agree
As a Gator fan I respect Bob Stoops for doing this OU will be fine
as an ou fan we're done for. we should never have moved to the sec. the program's glory days are over now.
@@AD-oy8nm Dabo will be the next coach for OU
@@s.o.l.o777 they should just shut down the ou program.
I'm an OSU fan and I looove Bob Stoops!!! so classy
Literal tears were coming down my face seeing this presser live. We've missed you Bob ❤️ "I'm a program guy" ❤️ BOOMER
Put Bob on the Short List of candidates, he is rested now. And I think of what Bill Snider did at K-State on his second time around and I know Bob can top that.
Husker fan here. Much respect to OU! Stoops is right! You guys have nothing to worry about! You guys are a great program, and have been! Now it's time to head to the SEC and kick some ass! You guys always kicked our ass for years, but you did it with respect! I feel Oklahomans and Nebraskans respect each other, we've been to battle together, and both have came out victors! I wish nothing but the best for OU, unless we're playing you!
Coach Stoops loyal and all class! Lincoln Riley used our Program to work and build up another Program behind our back. That will come back on him.
In Bob We Trust!
Sooners are so lucky to have a guy like Stoops attached to the program. Honestly watching this really upsets me greatly about how the local media treated him during his last few seasons. This is a guy who should have always been treated with respect.
Coach Stoops has OU's back...💯...Thanks, Coach...Health and happiness to you and your family...
Hopping the best for you guys and your program. Get the right coach that can help your kids achieve the greatness that is inside of them and this time next year you won’t even be able to remember Lincoln Riley’s name. And ROLL TIDE!!
Bama fan checking in. Stoops is even more legendary for this.
Players you're in good hands, go out there and show Coach Stoops your Loyalty and Heart.... Thank you Bob for stepping up..
Thank you Bob you are truly loved , I wish I could have your character
God I miss that man as my coach
Same. Wish hed come back.
i thought stoops coming back for interim was kind of corny and a hack move... i was wrong dude took over that room and set the record straight.... with him and switzer leading the charge out there OU will get a good guy.
What?? It's awesome. Wish he'd stay.
Well said thank you for your comments
Bob Stoops is a class act, a man of great character. Oklahoma is going to continue to be a very good football program and wish the players and those involved at every level success.
Those are words spoken by a coach and leader who loves the program and a lesson LR needs to learn before he burns too many bridges.
I’m so Glad Coach Stoops showed what the school and the program and players mean to him. He is OU all the way. Class Act.
This is OU DNA... Thanks Bob & Barry🏆
Back in action Bob! Awesome to see!
Call me a football nerd but i've grown up a Sooners fan, my dad and two of my uncles went to OU in the 80s, so that being said i've always had respect for Bob Stoops. But hearing these words from Bob Stoops during such a devastating time for an Oklahoma Sooners fan was so encouraging and inspiring. And then Brent Venables' entrance on top of that and the way he's led this team to being 3 - 0 has been so inspiring to the say the least. I wrote this quote down from Coach Venables' post game interview after the Nebraska game because it really spoke to me ""You develop an identity and mindset through some failure and adversity. You grow and improve."
Respect and love to all the people from other fanbases that I'm seeing in the comment section showing love and respect. 👊🏼
Y'all are good people.
Thanks Coach Stoops. That’s exactly why you are in the Hall of Fame! Congrats.
Everyone be excited, it's SOONER MAGIC BABY!!!! Some have must of forgotten.. We know it's still here!! #BBBOOOOOOMMMEEERRR!!!
hard to hate this man even when he's whooping my Longhorns lol
Never thought i be glad to see coach stoops again but i am glad he hear to right the ship
Also a Buckeye fan and I’m happy for Sooners fans to have Stoops step up and do the right thing for those young men that were legit just left by their HC. I understand it’s part of the business but these are young college men that look up to their HC and Riley legit just left them overnight and didn’t give two cents. It’s sad. He could have been way more professional and mature about his choice and decision to leave for USC. Happy that Stoops is a honorable man and loves the Sooners program when they legit we’re screwed big time! #Respect
Coach Stoops had to convince Lincoln Riley into addressing the players before he left, as I heard.
I can't believe this, very excited to see Bob coaching OU football once again
Much respect Coach Stoops, loyalty and full heart - can’t lose. Those without, here’s the door.
Trojan fan here. Bob Stoops is an exemplary human being. He’s doing a good thing for a university he obviously cares a lot about. OU is going to make it through this and keep on winning.
Thank you for being cool.
Classy, but… y’all have really came out of nowhere the last 24-36 hours 😂
@@ammoniawilder4451 I have to agree. I don't even know who their QB is.
@@ammoniawilder4451 lol, I know right. I found out about all this when I was at church. I was completely floored.
@@conservachick100 his name is Jackson Dart. He’s going to be special.
Always liked Stoops, cool to see him back, (Michigan fan here)
Perfect message and tone for the situation. Hopefully everyone will listen, calm down, and let the process play through. The vast majority of four and five star recruits sign with teams not coached by Coach Riley or any other individual coach. Deeeeeeeep breath, everyone.
How great is Bob Stoops?? After listening to him speak, all of a sudden I don’t feel so bad.
#Stoopsistheman
Bob Stoops is a walking Legend.
OU is so blessed Coach Stoops here!!
A REAL COACH!!!!!!!!
That's a man that bleeds Sooner Red!!!
Thank you coach stoops!!! You are a classy person
Absolutely Coach Stoops, always a class act!
Stoops and Switzer in the same room...🔥🔥
Nothing but respect for Bob stoops here in Nebraska
Thank you Coach Stoops we have missed you
I've been a sooner fan my whole life when I was a kid I thought ou footballs best days were behind them ..but Bob has shown me that isn't true glad to hear this message as a fan its been a rough few days....but college football is better when Alabama notre dame Ohio state usc and ou are all doing well it makes for amazing historic match ups those teams have won it alot
A true legend and a phenomenal man.
