Wow didn't see that one coming. Maybe he'll sit out a year and then want to get back into coaching in a year like Urban Meyer. We might have an opening in 2018 if he's interested in jumping back in at that point.

Stoops was hired in 1999 by the Sooners' then-new (1 year on the job) AD, Joe Castiglione, whose first job after graduating from Maryland in 1979 was as the sports promotions director at ...



... Rice!!

Quote:Upon graduating with a specialized bachelor’s degree in 1979, Castiglione sought out a job in the new field, trying to convince other colleges to let him introduce them to sports marketing. He sent out 86 letters to Division I institutions, received back four “thank you but not interested” replies and one “maybe.”

That “maybe” turned into his first job, as the sports promotions director at Rice University.

“It was kind of a ground-breaking area of inter-collegiate athletics,” Castiglione recounted. “You could see a little of that growing in professional sports, but it wasn’t really tried. People were trying to figure out how to grow programs, how to increase attendance, how to find out ways to generate new streams of revenue to support the other inter-collegiate programs, so I thought, ‘Why not give it a try? If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work,’ and I could try something else, but if I look back, I would regret not trying. So that’s how it got going.”

After a year at Rice, he spent a year at Georgetown as the head of athletic fund-raising, ...

I wonder if it was some kind of health issue.

He has said it wasn't. (But friends have pointed out that his dad died while coaching and that Stoops didn't want to do the same).

I'm not saying there's not something else, but if (1) you've got your successor lined up already, and (2) the AD is on board with it, then, yeah, why not do it now rather than in the coaching-carousel madness of December/January? Doing it now protects your commits a lot better than doing it then.
