I 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. $50 million. $100 million. Obviously, it's not about money. So, no, I'm good.

Stoops returned to coaching as the head coach of the Dallas Renegades in the XFL in 2020 and later returned to Oklahoma as an interim head coach for the 2021 Alamo Bowl.

Lincoln 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.

Lincoln Riley was highly successful at Oklahoma, winning four consecutive Big 12 titles and making three College Football Playoff appearances before leaving for USC.

Adrian Peterson was the clear alpha on the team from the day he arrived at Oklahoma

That guy from the day he walked on campus... he was the man. I mean, you know it, right? You know something's up when all the seniors come through your office, they're like 'Coach, have you seen him?'... he was running the show from the day he stepped on campus.

Adrian Peterson rushed for nearly 2,000 yards as a true freshman and was a Heisman runner-up, confirming he was immediately 'the man'.

The story about Mike Leach locking a player in a shed is likely misunderstood

I don't believe [Mike Leach] did it then either. I think that whole story got a little bit mixed up.

The facts of the incident were highly litigated and remain a point of contention in college football history.
