He went after assistant coaches he knew and trusted, including his brother. It's a supreme compliment to Kansas State football that the resurrection of Oklahoma football has a strong Wildcat flavor. No, you would have tried to put a straitjacket on that person and called 911. The Stoops-led Sooners are back, make no mistake about that. Oklahoma is a dynamite team with the most dangerous offensive weapons in the Big 12.
Stoops is a star in the coaching biz.
Today's game is about much more than the coaches, anyway. It's about whether Kansas State's defense, which will get its first real test, can slow down this Sooner offensive machine. But, in the end, this game is a lot about Snyder. About his strange and strong mystique. Stoops might beat Snyder someday.
