OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today issued the following statement on the retirement of University of Oklahoma football Coach Bob Stoops:
“Coach Bob Stoops certainly revitalized pride among the Sooner Nation on his way to becoming one of our country’s most successful college football coaches. He is the winningest coach in the University of Oklahoma’s football program during his 18 seasons in Norman. I appreciate how he always represented our state well both on and off the field. He always offered a hand when needed, such as during times of disaster. I especially appreciate that he had a winning record against the University of Texas. I’ll miss seeing Coach Stoops on the sidelines, but I wish him and his family the best.”
