Timing sounds right. Probably just got whomever needed to be enrolled in summer school in and then announce. Riley will make a smooth transition. Stoops will end up as AD some day.

Timing makes sense
Kyler Murray (and his dad) transfer to OU
One year later, Stoops retires....
Just sayin...

The timing seems strange to me as well, but maybe this was his way to ensure that his handpicked guy got the job

Heard from a connection this was a done deal over a month ago, just picked now to release the information. I'm guess for the reason mrydel explained above.

Reporting here in OK that there is a health-related issue that prompted him to do it now.

Stoops has been at OU for 18 years. I'm sure he's dealt with other difficult parents before...

Betting on a power move by an influential booster...who wants to beat more than Texas each year, and wants more than the Big 12 title.
Hope to heck that there is not another Baylor-esque scandal or some such.

Maybe T. Boone paid him off so OSU might be able to beat OU more than twice per decade.

He bought a house in Chicago so what teams near there can he be targeting

Bob Stoops 190-48-0
Barry Switzer 157-29-4
Bud Wilkinson 145-29-4
That is some serious firepower.

Maybe someone big wanted him out since the 30th loss.
