Bob Stoops resume is undeniably Better than Butch Jones. That cannot be argued.
However....
Since winning the NC in 2000 OU has been the most consistently overrated team in the NCAA (right up there with tOSU). Sure they have a lot of BCS bowl appearances but how many wins? There was an 0-5 stretch that finally broke when they got an easy match up (akin to FSU/NIU). It's a lot easier to win conference titles when there is only one legit challenger in the conference and they play in your division. Beat them and you've basically won the conference and are off to a BCS bowl. Their NC appearances have been mostly embarrassing since then too, showing they shouldn't even have been there (2003 should have been LSU vs USC and 2004 should have been Auburn vs USC).
If Bob Stoops were here people would quickly get spoiled and complain ad nauseam about every game he choked away just like they did Fulmer.

Well good news on that front.. The AD and administration is too damn cheap to go after Bob.. We settle for the bargain bin hires... Usually with bargain bin results...
