Are there speculations to why Stoops really retired?

[romeo212000]

Think Bob realized he just didn't have the drive to try to reach the top anymore and realized it was time to move on. So much respect for not doing like Mack Brown and Bowden did and drag the program down while he ran on fumes. He worked his ass off for a couple years in luring pulling in a top 6 class last year to hand his HCIW the best situation he could and bowed out with class. Thanks for everything, Bob.

He was afraid Saban would eventually beat him, and he wanted to leave before that happens.

Saban already beat him when Saban was at LSU.

Isn't his wife one of the to Avon ladies in the country?

She probably put her foot down and forced him to be a home maker.

Damn, I need to find one of those.

It's actually Mary Kay not Avon, but Stoops's wife is among their top agents in the country.

But I have no problems with being a trophy husband and if I ever marry, it will strictly be for money.

Knocked up a Twin Peaks waitress and his wife wants to move out of the area

Stoops is a genius.

He is like 160-16 overall record. He will go down as one of the greatest coaches of all time. He has like 12 Big 12 titles.

With all that, people will forget that those 16 losses came to blow out embarrassing losses on the big stage.

Great career Stoops. For that I give you the game ball.

True dat.

Oh I don't give a crap about him, just negged him back for starting it.

From what I've read is that this has been in the works for a while. Some thought Riley was already working on assembling a staff for Oregon, then they thought he had the Houston job, then that fell through at the last second. Don't know if that just speed up the timeline, or not. Regardless it's all speculation at this point, just what I've read in a few places.

No, what happened was you got butthurt because how could somebody who is not an OU fan possibly have any insight into the program or decision. I made a pretty concise post and you lost your shit.

Two thoughts:

1) Lions asked for thoughts...I gave mine. You are not required to reply

2) Try and not be a fucking homer. He is "retired" get over it fukstick

I suggest you tone it down and mind your manners.

From an outsider's perspective here, it seems you get your jimmies rustled over post ratings.

You may want to reconsider that observation Rastus...I didn't plaster bullshit on every post that I made

They're just ratings dude. Simmer down. He didn't mean it personally.

Here's a chill pill for you.

becoming the next head basketball coach at ohio......

 

[outofyourmind]

I am not trying to sound critical because if I am in that position I would do the same thing. However here is my theory:

He has nowhere to go but down. OU is not going to win anymore NC's under this regime. They will at best be a playoff team but they have reached their ceiling. To put into running terms, he is gassed. He knows this better than anyone else and decided to take his exit and go out on top or as "on top" as he can get.

They are not getting the players they used to, the Big12 is in turmoil, and to stay any longer will only tarnish his legacy. Lets remember that prior to Lincoln Riley's arrival there were a lot of people calling for his head at OU.

Actually
I think this sums it up nicely.

Go out on a high note.
Not many do that anymore.
