Amazing Bob Stoops stat He has had 2 Heisman winners & 6 runners-up

[bullmarket]

for the Heisman top 5.

Jason White and Sam Bradford winning the Heisman and Josh Heupel finishing second and, Adrian Peterson finishing second Jason White finishing 3rd in another year Baker Mayfield finishing 4th and finishing 3rd in the last two seasons and Dede Westbrook finishing 4th last season.

Bob is also the Nation's active winningest head coach

We Sooners are lucky to have him.

You are on the money as usual bullmarket.

 

[BillyRay]

It was certainly nice OU getting players invited to the Heisman again. The others mentioned were over a decade ago. Let's all hope it's the start of a new trend of the program heading upwards to new heights.

Bob is also the Nation's active winningest head coach

And actually...this part is not right on the money...

1. Brian Kelly - 230 wins (not all Div-1)
2. Nick Saban - 205 wins
3. Bill Snyder - 202 wins
4. Bob Stoops - 190 wins

 

[iasooner1]

I believe bull meant was that Bob/Sooners currently hold current longest win streak @ 11 or so...

 

[zayzayandpooh]

Its a 10 game win streak

Is it possible that Coach Stoops is the winningest coach according to win percentage? I do not know.

Definitely not.

Urban Meyer...

Knute Rockne with .881 (13 years at ND)
Frank Leahy with .864 (at BC for 2 years and ND for 11 years)
Urban Meyer with .854 (at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, Ohio State totaling 14 years))
Barry Switzer with .837 (16 years)
Tom Osborne with .836 (25 years)
Robert Neyland with .829 (21 years at Tennessee)
Bud Wilkinson with .826 (17 years)
Bob Devaney with .806 (17 years)
Bob Stoops with .796 (17 years)

Osborne's longevity and .836 winning percentage is very impressive.....and was greatly facilitated by both Oklahoma's probation in 1989 and Switzer's absence during Osborne's last 9 years in which he won 8 of 9 games against the Sooners.

Ok, I figured out what he means.
Winningest ACTIVE Coach with at least 189 Wins.

1. Bob Stoops 189 0.797
2. Nick Saban 209 0.776
3. Brian Kelly 230 0.722
4. Bill Snyder 202 0.657

That's sort of like that stat you hear during a baseball game when they mention the batter "leads the league in batting average in this situation with runners on 2nd and third, one out, in the 5th inning, during a night game away from home....

 

[CTOkie]

Having read all of these accomplishments, the fact remains that OU is due for an 8th national championship.

Bull, I don't believe Bob is the winningest active HC. He is at one school, but several HC's have more wins, who've been at more than one place. Bill Snyder has more wins total than Bob has at one place, but not in consecutive seasons. Snyder has 202 wins and Bob is at 190. Brian Kelly has 230 at several schools. Nick Saban has 205.

If you're talking about winning pct, then Urban Meyer at .850 is higher than Bob's .798.

Bob is a great great coach and we are incredibly lucky to have him. But he is not the winningest active coach in college football.

 

[BillyRay]

Plaino touched on something that is certainly correct, Bob is the longest tenured coach at one program in the country. Bob took over that mantle when Frank Beamer hung it up.

 

[bullmarket]

You are correct my old friend Plaino.

Bob is the winningest active head coach accomplishing this at only one school.

 

[Plainosooner]

You are correct my old friend Plaino.

Bob is the winningest active head coach accomplishing this at only one school.

Except for Snyder.

 

[iasooner1]

When will Snyder retire if ever ???

 

[Plainosooner]

Well he already did once, and KState was retreating back to what they'd been before and it killed him, so he returned.

They did however continue to give the Longhorns a hard time. Gotta love the Wildcats.

 

[iasooner1]

He can get the best out of his recruits a lot of the time

 

[Plainosooner]

Snyder made my bowl season by handling A&M.

 

[CTOkie]

If I were a Kansas State fan, Snyder's retirement....whenever it happens....will be a scary time.
My hope would be that Snyder has successfully groomed his son and assistant head coach, Sean Snyder, to carry on.

 

[iasooner1]

No pressure but yeah go fighting Snyders (except against the Sooners) !
