DALLAS, TX — Former Oklahoma University head football coach Bob Stoops announced his retirement Monday.
Stoops, 65, has served as the head coach of the UFL’s Dallas Renegades the last four years.
"After much thought and reflection, I've made the decision to retire from coaching and step away from the game of football," Stoops said in a statement released by the UFL. "Coaching has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and closing this chapter comes with lots of gratitude. ...
"Thank you for allowing me to be part of this incredible game for so many years."
Stoops coached for 18 years at Oklahoma and led the Sooners to a bowl game each season with an overall record of 191-48.
The high point came in 2000 when the Sooners won the national title. They also won 10 conference titles during his tenure.
Stoops joined the XFL in 2019 and returned when the league restarted in 2021. He led the Renegades to the league title in 2023 and spent the last two years in the rebranded UFL.
