Too bad they couldn’t have got him for penn state, NW or Minnesota. Could have used him for a bigger game.

I guess he has his son to watch at Oklahoma. However it would have been great to have him there on TV doing interviews on ESPN under the lights.

Good question. I don't know. He had a good tenure but he also had a top blue blood program where recruiting wasn't hard. As much as I've ripped KF I feel he developes kids pretty damn good with what he has to work with. Did Bob have to work at development as hard to get top play out of his recruits as KF does. I don't think results would really be that different than what we have had but we would of allowed Bob the benefit of doubt more being one of our own.

but he also had a top blue blood program where recruiting wasn't hard.

Stoops may have started farther behind.
I think OU was coming off three consecutive losing seasons, preceded by two .500 seasons.
Ferentz was following one losing season in 1998.
