“I'm especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young...” — Bob Stoops Quote

“I'm especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young men over my 18 years here. It has been so rewarding to see these players come to OU and mature over a four- or five-year career, and not just on the field. To play a small part in their growth is what I will always cherish the most.”

“Spend a day around my players, around my African-American players, my Hispanic players, my Polynesian players, and you'll see the true beauty of who they are.”

“I think proximity in recruiting matters the most.”

“I take all the opportunities that come my way and I am thankful that I have them.”

“I am thankful that 'Jhalak' made me a professional dancer now from just a 'barat' dancer.”

“I love going to Africa and stuff. I love going anywhere, really, but I've been to Africa a bunch of times and it's just a beautiful place that needs help, obviously, but helping people that are really thankful is really easy to do. And the people out there always seem so thankful.”
