It is that because the Sooner program is as vibrant and pertinent today as it was 50 years ago. This is a place where the championships of the past are appreciated, but never to the point that they blur the pursuit of our next one.

Success here only creates a hunger for more; more success on the field, more success in the classroom and more success in life away from football. And the people here ask the right questions... How can we achieve more? How can we do it better? How can we help you reach your goals? The real winner in that scenario is the student-athlete. This environment inspires greatness and encourages excellence. It does so with an eye on compassion and friendliness, qualities that have long defined Oklahoma.
COACHING STAFF
I don’t believe there is a better situation in all of college football than the one that has been created right here in Norman. There is an unmistakable energy and yet a comfortable pace that co-exist on this campus. It is that atmosphere that allows us each year to set out in pursuit of college football’s highest goals, to prepare for that next championship. We know that success here is judged in that manner and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
