Former Oklahoma Sooners coach Bob Stoops doesn't plan on being like a monster for a horror movie. Unlike Jason Voorhees in the Friday The 13th series, there are no plans for one last jump scare prior to actual retirement.
How do we know this? Because he keeps telling us he is done. For real done. Not fake done. Or the Urban Meyer pretend done for the sake of health and family. But completely, without exception, DONE.
“The coaching life is like a relay race and I’m thankful for my turn and am confident as I pass the baton,” Stoops said in a statement announcing his retirement.
But because fans and media are fickle, Bob Stoops has heard his name attached to every potential job opening in the country. He has, apparently, had enough of it. So much so, in fact, he's spoken out about not coaching (again).
From SECCountry.com:
I will say, regardless of what you might hear out there in the papers, if I intended again to coach that would have been part of my statement. I would have said, ‘I’m stepping away here now for this time for myself, but when it comes to the next year or two, I look forward to getting back in it.’
“But that’s not what I said. You won’t see me on a college sideline or a pro sideline. A lot of people act like they know, and there will be more than a few jobs out there. But that isn’t at all what I’m looking to do.”
Good for Stoops. Go enjoy life. If you can do that without coaching, even better.
Sorry, Tennessee fans. Also, sorry to producers of the potential “Bob Stoops in Space” movie franchise.
