Stoops is being investigated for his ties to Russia

So far, this makes the most sense

Who retires in June, after spring practices? What is that? Super odd, and he's only 56.

Health might be the reason, just spit balling but it is an odd time for the decision.

If you are going to hire from within the timing couldn't be better. Recruits will get the entire season to evaluate. Rarely does a new coach get to show his stuff with a top 10 team

That is only true if he is actually HIRED for the long term and the process is over.

It seems very unlikely the Oklahoma is not going to conduct a job search.

It would be dumb as fuck for them to Oregon, West Virginia, or Nebraska themselves.

You cannot Mark Helfrich away your program unless it is 100% consensus and done.

Which mean recruits will not commit to Lincoln Riley if he is going to be replaced.

It's pronounced Shtoops in his mother language.

That being said Saban to Oklahoma 2018.

Apparently bob has been grooming Riley for this from the start. Castiglione and Boren wanted him to wait at least another year, but he was just done. Wanted to bounce during the spring apparently. Riley is not the interim HC. He is the HC of Oklahoma football.

SEC ruined his health. Bummer..

[GoldRusher]

Holy crap this isn't a hoax. Man he's that scared of Tom Herman.

 

[williewilliejuan]

School probably pushing him out to try to gain some integrity back after all of Stoops' lack of institutional control. Maybe they won't be Baylor Lite after all. Good for them.

This will be in a few years a urban Meyer move. He will be coaching somewhere else. Baylor maybe.
