Former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops has been named to the College Football Hall of Fame’s 2021 Class.

An Oklahoma coaching legend is headed to the most prestigious level in the sport.

Former Sooners head coach Bob Stoops has been named to the College Football Hall of Fame’s 2021 Class.

In his 18 seasons as the head man of Oklahoma, he won 190 games including the program’s seventh national championship in the 2000-2001 season. His 190 wins are tied for the 22nd-most in college football history and the most in school history.

He won a whopping ten Big 12 conference championships, and coached two Heisman-winning quarterbacks in Jason White and Sam Bradford. Stoops not only managed to leave the program in better shape than when he found it, but he also set them up for long-term success after his retirement. On the day of his announced retirement, he gave the keys to a young Lincoln Riley who he had hired as the offensive coordinator just two years prior. Now, Riley is one of the most highly-regarded coaches in the sport and the Sooners are once again a national title contender each and every year.

Stoops is royalty in Norman and the state of Oklahoma and has been for awhile. Now, he is royalty amongst all of college football.
