Bob Stoops Autographs
Bob Stoops is a former American football coach who achieved significant success during his 18-year career at the helm of the University of Oklahoma Sooners. Born on September 9, 1960, Stoops grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, and began his football career playing as a defensive back for the Iowa Hawkeyes. After graduating in 1983, he started his coaching career at Kent State University before being hired as an assistant coach by Iowa in 1989.
Stoops' rise to prominence as a head coach began in 1999 when he was named as the 21st head coach in the history of the Oklahoma Sooners' football program. Taking over a team that had struggled in recent years, Stoops quickly turned things around and led the Sooners to an impressive 7-5 record in his first season. Just two years later, he coached Oklahoma to a national championship title, defeating Florida State in the 2001 Orange Bowl.
Over the course of his legendary career, Stoops won a total of 190 games at the helm of the Sooners, leading the team to 10 Big 12 conference titles and playing in three national championship games (winning one). He also earned numerous accolades, including the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award, the Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award, and the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award. In June 2017, Stoops announced his retirement from coaching, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most successful and respected coaches in the history of college football.
