KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Working with the same athletic director and president throughout his Oklahoma tenure has made for a relatively smooth course for Bob Stoops. And he's been the most successful coach in Big 12 history with five conference championships and six trips to the Big 12 title game.
But Stoops stopped short Wednesday of saying he'd like to go 10 more years with the Sooners after working his first 10 years at Oklahoma under school president David Boren and athletic director Joe Castiglione.
"I don't know, we'll see," Stoops said. "I love what I do. And it's not very often you are with the same president and athletic director for me. I'm very fortunate to work with President Boren and Joe. It's exciting to go to work every day and I love what we're doing. So I could see it, yeah. But you never know what the world gives you."
Having three adolescent children kept the NFL from being an attractive opportunity earlier in his career. But Stoops said that could be amended as they grow older.
"Who knows? It's not something that today is really intriguing to me with the age of my children and what we're doing right now," Stoops said. "But life changes as you go. You never know what comes."
