Oklahoma Athletic Director Joe Castiglione shakes hands with Bob Stoops during a press conference announcing Castiglione’s retirement at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., on Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

Bob Stoops wants no part of Joe Castiglione’s job.  The former OU football coach, who retired in the summer of 2017, is enjoying his life after football. And he’s happy to see his long-time friend and former boss, Castiglione, making the same decision.
