Rose Bowl Hall of Fame
Bob Stoops retired in 2017 as Oklahoma’s all-time winningest coach and the only coach in college football history to win a national championship and all four BCS bowl games, including the 2003 Rose Bowl Game. Stoops led the Sooners to victory over Washington State, 34-14. He is also one of just 11 people to have played in and served as the head coach of a team playing in The Granddaddy of Them All. Stoops played in the 1982 Rose Bowl Game as a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Stoops was a defensive back and team captain for Iowa, but the Hawkeyes fell to Washington, 28-0. As a coach, Stoops was a two-time national coach of the year, six-time Big 12 coach of the year and led Oklahoma to ten Big 12 titles and 18 consecutive bowl appearances. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
