Yup, life is pretty good for Bobby Stoops. He wins a national championship at Florida as defensive coordinator, which he parlays into the head coaching spot at one of the most storied programs in college football at a time when they were down, but still loaded with talent. He promptly returns them to glory by winning a mythical national championship and annually bitch-slapping Texas. Then, he parlays Steve Spurrier leaving Florida into a sweet raise and extension making him the top dog in the college coaching ranks.... but that's not all. A failed Zook tenure only increased interest in Stoopsie who got another raise and extension. Now, he has inked a nice new contract complete with annual raises, incentives out the wazoo and a 3 Million Dollar incentive if he stays put in Oklahoma until 2008, where he is more openly loved than Katie Holmes and Scientology combined are by Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise seen here almost as excited as an Oklahoma fan meeting Bob Stoops.
