Nah.

There hasn't been even rumors of Stoops, or the football program, involved in something nefarious that would be on the NCAA radar which would make him decide to leave.

Folks who cover the team said Stoops had been thinking about stepping aside for awhile, which was more attractive now that Lincoln Riley, 33, and his successor, is on his staff.

One of the top coaches in college football is retiring.

After multiple reports emerged Wednesday afternoon, Oklahoma confirmed that head coach Bob Stoops is stepping down from his position after 18 seasons. Stoops, 56, said his decision was “not health-related.” With Stoops stepping aside, offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley will assume the role of head coach. Riley, 33, becomes the youngest head coach in the FBS.

“After 18 years at the University of Oklahoma, I’ve decided to step down as the head football coach. I understand there has been some speculation about my health. My health was not the deciding factor in this decision and I’ve had no incidents that would prevent me from coaching. I feel the timing is perfect to hand over the reins,” Stoops said in a statement.

“The program is in tremendous shape. We have outstanding players and coaches and are poised to make another run at a Big 12 and national championship. We have new state-of-the-art facilities and a great start on next year’s recruiting class. The time is now because Lincoln Riley will provide a seamless transition as the new head coach, capitalizing on an excellent staff that is already in place and providing familiarity and confidence for our players. Now is simply the ideal time for me and our program to make this transition.

After coaching 18 years at a top 5 program, what would be a "dream job" for him?

Oklahoma is in Norman, not Oklahoma City. Barry Switzer's home is a few hundred yards from the campus.

Stoops is going to stay at the university as an assistant to the AD.

I know exactly where ou is as I've worked in both Norman and Okc. Norman is practically a suburb of okc. Stoops just bought a $2million home in Chicago. That's an upgrade if he's planning to relocate
