Stoops is one of the deans of college football coaches, and he belongs in Oklahoma. After 16 seasons, he’s proven he can coach just about any kind of college team, and do it successfully.
But unless he were handed a loaded roster in the NFL (like Barry Switzer was with the Cowboys), he’d have a tough time getting wins or the NFL egos to step-and-fetch to his tune. Another coach who is hell-bent on control, he just wouldn’t find a happy home outside a college campus.
The sad part is that his schemes would probably work well in an NFL setting, but his personality probably wouldn’t mesh.
