I haven't been impressed with Landry. It seems like he finds a few receivers who make him look good and he goes to them 85% of the time. Then when one gets hurt he has no receivers who can catch his passes. I'm not terribly impressed with Bell either but he hasn't really had much time to shine outside of the redzone. Stoops has done a fine job with the program and I'm still happy with him as head coach.
Well he sure impressed a lot of people in the heisman voting that matter. Manziel is a redshirt freshman. Klein is a senior. Not such a good comparison. He is as good as any other college QB in the short route passes but can use some work on his long ball. He has three more years to perfect that.
Heck, I'm back in. I know where this one is going.
In the L column.
I don't get it.
In 14 seasons, Stoops has a regular season win percentage of 80%
In those same 14 years, he's 50% post season...
Didn't have to hear much of that hideous song either.
It sure doesn't help that we seem to lose 6 to 8 starters a year to "unspecified team violations", that's codespeak for they be smokin weed, not showing up for practice, going to class, etc. Add in the normal injuries and we are always thin at the end of the year. If OU had all the players they had on the roster at the start of training it would be a totally different look. It never ceases to amaze me of all the star players thinking they can game the system. Stoops don't play that game and that's to his credit.
Wow A&M made that look easy....
During the 2000 season, Stoops led the Sooners to an Orange Bowl victory and a national championship.
Overall, Oklahoma is 3–5 in BCS games, but 7–6 in bowl games under Stoops.
Now in his 13th year as head coach of the Sooners, Stoops has a combined record of 148–36 (.809). He has only lost 4 games in Norman, and accumulated a home winning streak of 39 consecutive games from 2005 to 2011. The streak was ended on October 22, 2011 when Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma 41–38. He also has the most wins of the decade of any BCS school with 109 (2000–present). Along with Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson, and Barry Switzer, he is one of four coaches to win over 100 games at the University of Oklahoma. No other college football program has more than 3 coaches to accomplish such a feat.
He led the Sooners to the 2000 BCS National Championship and finished the season undefeated, outscoring 13 opponents by a combined 481–194. His Oklahoma teams again earned the opportunity to play in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game in 2004, 2005 and 2009, losing to LSU 21–14 in the 2004 Sugar Bowl, and to USC 55–19 (a win which USC was later forced to vacate by the NCAA) in the 2005 Orange Bowl, and University of Florida 24–14 in the 2009 BCS Championship. Oklahoma under Bob Stoops has played in more BCS National Titles games (4) than any other school.
Between us and Kstate, the big 12 top 2, it's makes the big 12 look pretty bad.
