Bob Stoops doesn't need your help

Let me throw some Bob Stoops stats at you: 10 seasons. 109-24 won/loss record, including 68-14 in conference and 24-8 overall the last three seasons, and 27-10 over the 10 seasons against ranked opponents. One national title. 7 BCS bowls (tied for most ever with USC and Ohio State). 7 top 10 finishes.

But of course, here are the counter-numbers: Only third all-time among Oklahoma coaches all-time in winning percentage. 5 straight BCS bowl loses. Yeah, he's got a national title, but that was back in 2000; Florida has won it twice since then.

I've been meaning to write about this for weeks, but just got around to it. After Oklahoma's loss, many commentators, including Mark May on ESPN, called for Stoops to make changes to his program (ludicrous) and to his bowl preparations (maybe).

But look at his his 5 straight BCS loses. To Florida. To an underrated West Virginia team. To a very good Boise State team on a fluke play. Pounded by an awesome USC team with 200 NFL players on the roster. And a tough loss to LSU. Both of those last two were for the BCS title.

What school (besides maybe Florida and USC) wouldn't enthusiastically switch records with Oklahoma? (OK, maybe Oklahoma State or Texas fans would rather do anything besides switch with the Sooners, but you get my point.) If this was BYU or Purdue, we'd be building the guy a statue.

Shouldn't it be hard to win a national championship? If you get to that final game, you're going to be playing another great team. I don't want to attribute it to luck, but Oklahoma's consistency should be lauded, not derided.

So Bob Stoops if you're listening: Mark May has not idea what he's talking about. Keep doing exactly what you're doing.
