Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: Topic “Oklahoma Defensive Pressures”
Stoops won a national crown in 2000, just his second season in Norman, and has led the Sooners to 12 consecutive bowl games, a school record, including seven of the BCS variety. Along the way, he has picked up 17 coach of the year citations including eight on the national level (only five coaches nationally have won more conference coach of the year awards), and watched five assistant coaches move into Football Bowl Subdivision head coaching positions. Stoops is 129-31 entering his 13th season. OU won the 2000 national championship, played for three more and captured eight Big 12 South crowns and seven Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 24 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll and a national-leading 20 weeks atop the BCS standings.
Tom Williams completed his second season as the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Football at Yale in 2010 and now has an 11-9 overall record as a collegiate head coach. He orchestrated a turn-around from the 4-6 mark in 2009, leading the Bulldogs to a 7-3 campaign last fall. Williams, 41, coached two seasons with the Jaguars. He joined the team in 2007 as assistant special teams coach after spending the previous 11 seasons as an assistant coach on the collegiate level. Williams served as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at San Jose State for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. He engineered a Spartans defense that decreased its points allowed by 21.8 from 2004 to 2006. Three of his linebackers finished among the WAC's top-10 tacklers in 2005, while SJSU won nine games in 2006, including a victory in the New Mexico Bowl. Williams spent three seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Stanford (2002-04). He coached linebackers, served as the co-defensive coordinator in 2002 and 2003 and was the associate head coach in 2004. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Stanford in 1993 under Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Walsh while earning a master's in university administration (1995).
The Golden Eagles have become an offensive juggernaut during Fedora's tenure and again did not disappoint in 2010. In 2008, one of the school records they established was most total offensive yards with 5,636. They came close to breaking that record again in 2009 with 5,413 yards of total offense. In 2010, the team is on the cusp of breaking the school record, gaining 5,498 during the regular season. The Golden Eagles finished 31st in the nation in total offense in 2009, after finishing No. 20 the year before - the highest finish for the Golden Eagles since becoming a member of the FBS. In his first year in Hattiesburg, Fedora's squad broke 36 school records on the way to ending the season with a five-game winning streak to reach a bowl game. The Golden Eagles extended that streak in 2009 to eight games - the longest consecutive winning streak for the program since the 1958-59 seasons - and in the process through the course of the season kept several program streaks intact during the season and now into the 2010 season including
Mike Riley has rightfully been credited with the rebirth of Oregon State football. The 58-year-old head coach has guided the Beavers to six bowl games in the last eight years, winning five, and started the rejuvenation of the program during his first tenure in 1997-98 that subsequently made three postseason appearances. Riley is the second winningest coach in Beaver football history with 69 victories (second among active Pac-12 coaches). His resume sparkles with achievements, including the 2008 AFCA and Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year, and his teams have appeared in the final Associated Press top-25 rankings in three of the last five years.
Six of Rhoads’ former defensive backs have been drafted by the National Football League, including Pitt’s Darrelle Revis (the 14th overall pick by the Jets) in 2007. He has coached in seven bowl games, including the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the 2000 Insight Bowl (against Iowa State), and the 2002 Insight Bowl with Pitt. Fourteen of his Panther defenders earned first-team All-Big East honors including H.B. Blades (the 2006 Big East Defensive Player of the Year) and Scott McKillop (the nation’s leading tackler in 2007). Blades and McKillop both earned All-America honors.
Rhoads coordinated the Pitt defense for eight seasons (2000-07) before moving to Auburn in the same role in 2008. His resume includes a 2004 Big East Conference championship with the Panthers. Five of the defenses he coordinated ranked in the nation’s Top 30 for scoring and three in the NCAA’s Top 12 for fewest yards allowed. His aggressive philosophy allowed Pitt to score 10 defensive touchdowns from 2004-06. Rhoads' last two defenses (Auburn in 2008 and Pitt in 2007) before coming to Ames ranked 15th nationally in scoring defense and fifth in total defense, respectively. The Sporting News named him the best defensive coordinator in the Big East Conference. Iowa State’s 2009 season ended with a Cyclone bowl game victory. The reward for keeping that faith was a seven-win season and a victory over Minnesota in the Insight Bowl. On Oct. 23 before more than 100,000 Texas fans in Austin’s Memorial Stadium, Rhoads’ team did what no Cyclone football squad had ever done, beat the Longhorns. The 28-21 win at No. 22 Texas marked the first time Iowa State had won road games at a ranked opponent in consecutive years since 1976-77.
