No Excuses: The Making of a Head Coach

No Excuses is a candid and inspiring memoir from legendary Oklahoma football coach, Bob Stoops.

In this book, Stoops shares his journey from an unlikely emergence as a star player at the University of Iowa to coaching apprenticeships under giants like Hayden Fry, Bill Snyder, and Steve Spurrier.

He recounts how the game he fell in love with as a boy has evolved into a billion-dollar business often compromised by recruiting wars, aggressive agents, overzealous boosters, and alumni.

Stoops holds nothing back while explaining why it was time to step away from the game--and players--he still loves.

Told with sincerity, vulnerability, and pure heart, No Excuses is both an engaging and eye-opening football memoir and an unprecedented portrait of a coach of one of the greatest legacy programs in the history of the college game.
