Lynn McGruder in 2002 was a defensive tackle at Tennessee. Lynn was caught with marijuana with the intent to distribute.and Lynn McGruder was then kicked out of Tennessee
Bob after looking into Lynn McGruder's past decided he would give him a second chance.
Lynn did do things the right way in his years at Oklahoma.
When Lynn was a senior he and OU WR Mark Clayton were driving down I-35 near Purcell and they witnessed a horrible car accident with a car on fire with a family of five in this car on fire.
Lynn and Mark stopped their car and Lynn rushed out to the car on fire putting his own life at risk.
Lynn managed to get a door open and he pulled five people out of the burning car away to safety and he managed to put out the fire.
Lynn had saved the lives of this family of five and the Big 12 honored Lynn McGruder for his act of bravery with the Big 12 Sportsman of the year award and Lynn was nominated for an award nationally..
Bob Stoop's judgement to offer a second chance to Lynn McGruder showed how correct Bob's decision to offer these very young people who make mistakes a second chance have been proven to be correct over the many years Bob has been OU's head football coach.
And by the way even back in 2002 Berry Tramel in an article criticized Bob Stoops giving a second chance to Lynn McGruder. "the drug dealer"
Bob has a long history on making great decisions with his Second Chances.
We all feel so lucky to have Bob Stoops at Oklahoma
