Sooner head coach want to leave immediately, Despite years of coaching success 
the Oklahoma sidelines, one of Bob Stoops’ most successful play calls came off the field.
Stoops changed many lives for the better during his tenure as Oklahoma’s head coach, but perhaps none more than Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch.
While Fisch never played under Stoops, the College Football Hall of Fame inductee gave the Wildcats’ ball coach a piece of advice that changed his life for good over 20 years ago.
“I do know Coach Stoops. He introduced me to my wife in 2000 at the AFCA coaches convention. That’s about the extent of my real experiences with Oklahoma,” Fisch said.
Fisch originally mentioned that Stoops introduced the former Florida graduate assistant to his wife when he spoke on the Alamo Bowl coaches call back on Dec. 7.
At the Alamo Bowl coaches press conference on Wednesday in San Antonio, Fisch dove deeper into the story of his relationship with Stoops, describing how the national champion head coach played a major part in Fisch meeting his wife.
“I was a graduate assistant at the University of Florida. Back then, there wasn’t, like, a hundred graduate assistants and 20 analysts. There were just two of us. We were at the coaches’ convention,” Fisch said.
“My wife was working for Grant Teaff at the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association), working for a company that put on their convention. Coach Stoops just won the National Coach of the Year, Oklahoma won the national championship in (2000), January of ’01 is when the convention was. At the end of the night we were all getting done with the banquet. Amber and a couple of her friends were at the table next to us. He said, ‘That might be a good person to say hello to, Jedd.’
