Bob StoopsI would not return to coaching even for a $100 million offer
Why would I do that? I would have stayed doing what I was doing. So I was ready to make $6 million almost at Oklahoma. Already built, already ready to roll. [Even for] $100 million. Obviously, it's not about money. So, no, I'm good. I'm good.
Stoops eventually returned to coaching for the XFL (Dallas Renegades) and as an interim head coach for Oklahoma for one game in 2021, but he never took another full-time permanent college or NFL coaching job.

Bob StoopsLincoln Riley is the right character and guy to lead Oklahoma forward
Lincoln's the right guy. He's got all the right attributes and character to be the guy to continue to lead the program forward. And I knew that. And I believed strongly that the administration would believe that as well. And so it could be as seamless as could be.
Riley was highly successful at Oklahoma (winning four Big 12 titles and making three CFP appearances) before leaving for USC in 2021, proving he was indeed 'the right guy' for the success of the program.
