Anyone read Bob Stoops new book?

I want to read that book. I will probably order it for our school and put it on the shelves in the school library. Need more Sooner books in the library in northeast Nebraska.
Honest curiosity, any specific reason? The Gene thing?
I think Gene might have had an interest in Bob, because Gene is from Salinas, KS.
The guy just never seemed interesting enough for me to invest my time to reading his life story. Nothing against him.
Nothing to do with Gene, although I'm also irascibly ambivalent towards him.
Got it. His public demeanor was certainly resemblant of Lurch.
From the small tidbits of his private life and post-coaching life I've caught, I'm not sure that's reality. I'll probably read it and hope that he doesn't come across as Bob Stoops, OU Football Coach.

An unauthorized biography by John Hoover would probably be more entertaining. LMAO.
By the way, I'm heading out your way sometime in September to visit my son and his family in Redondo Beach. I'm going to take my granddaughter to Disneyland.
Mike provides the Foreword assisted by two ghost writers.
Let’s hope Jack In Box (deposed brother Mike) was not in on the writing project. I have enough Curious George books on hand.
Bob Stoops aloofness was an interesting thing to observe.The guy just never seemed interesting enough for me to invest my time to reading his life story. Nothing against him.

Rumor has it that Bob told Mike he would not mention him. Mike reportedly said that if he did he hoped he would not have to Defend it.

Good one, 67. Lmao
I hope his book contains a chapter on apologizing for his mistake in re-hiring a brother and allowing him to totally destroy a once great Sooner defense.
It was already destroyed due to complacency. Mike was just the wrong guy to right the ship.
Year after year focus seems to be extremely rare. Saban is an extremely rare person, and I think he actually benefits from having high turnover in his assistant staff. Bob wanted to keep all of his homies in his camp and just coast year after year. He didn't have that same unwavering drive as Saban.
A lot of Head Coaches are stubborn that way and loyalty to friends probably comes into play but they usually won't make a change until their seat warms up but usually by then its too late and they are let go because the turn around was not fast enough for the fans and the big donors expectations.
