Talk:Bob Stoops

message: Some LSU troll seemed to have discovered how to edit the coaching record. It's clearly incorrect now, here's a link of Stoops' coaching record if needed for correction: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/coaches/bob-stoops-1.html  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJewishGuy1994 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Head Coaching Record

message: The record for him should still be 86 wins.  OU has filed an appeal and until there is a decision made on that the wins still count.
::I would agree, but unless the page got semi-protection over the next month or so while the appeals process works, there would be some yahoo in here every day changing the records.  But you're right (Mr. Anaonymous) in that the penalty doesn't kick in until an appeal has been denied. --WTStoffs 20:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My editing of the Coach's record was primarily motivated to establish consistency among all the pages referring to the team's record in 2005. Some featured 8-4 and some featured 0-4. If it is indeed true that the wins still count until the appeal has been denied, then the record on all the pages should reflect this. J. Charles Taylor 06:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article states "Stoops, one of 6 children born to Ron Sr. and Evelyn "Dee Dee" Stoops in Youngstown, Ohio." While the Mike Stoops article says he is "Stoops, one of 10 children born to Ron and Dee Stoops".  Are there 6 or 10 children in the family? I haven't found a source for either, so I'm removing it from both articles until one is verified.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by LazyLizaJane (talk • contribs) 16:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Number of siblings?

message: Text under "University of Oklahoma" heading looks like it needs some updating regarding career totals etc. Also the contract information towards the bottom of this section is ambiguous, especially the very last paragraph which is unacceptably vague.
I also suggest that the page "Oklahoma football under Bob Stoops" be elimimated, which I will discuss on that particular talk page. That would entail eliminating the reference to it from this page.151.213.40.224 (talk) 22:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Should the number for the years he coached be 1999-2016 or -2017? You can consult the history to see the edit war. d.g. L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 16:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it would make more sense to have an RfC about this situation in general.  There's nothing that unique about Stoops here.  For example, Rich Rodriguez's last game coached at Michigan was the 2011 Gator Bowl, played on January 1, 2011, but we denote his tenure at Michigan as "2008–2010".  I'm sure there are many other examples like this.  Barry Alvarez, Bo Schembechler, and Lloyd Carr are others like this.  Jweiss11 (talk) 16:04, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Please refrain from inserting the Infobox entry for the "Dallas XFL team, 2020 - " until the team actually begins play. — MarkH21 (talk) 21:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: As far I know there's no proscription on listing future positions in this way.  Seem to be done for the other XFL coaches like Kevin Gilbride, June Jones, Marc Trestman, et al. Jweiss11 (talk) 20:22, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I made this request because proposed leagues and teams frequently fold (or renamed / changed) before beginning play, e.g. Professional Spring Football League, Global Hockey League, All-American Professional Basketball League (2005). It's not an established league, so it's best to wait until the season actually begins. I wasn't thorough and extend this across other articles - this originally caught my attention due to some edits that were made during very preliminary stages. — MarkH21 (talk) 01:23, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
