The 1999 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 1999 college football season, the 105th season of Sooner football. The team was led by first-year head coach Bob Stoops. After five straight non–winning seasons and not making a bowl appearance for four years, athletic director Joe Castiglione decided to fire three–year coach John Blake and hire Stoops away from his job as defensive coordinator at the University of Florida. Others considered for the job included Barry Alvarez, Jim Donnan, Bob Toledo, Dennis Franchione, Tommy Bowden, Gary Barnett, and Mike Bellotti.[1] The decision to promote a defensive coordinator to head coach ran contrary to the conventional wisdom of the time, but from the beginning Stoops was expected to be an exception to that theory, even without any experience calling offensive plays.[2] They played their home games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. They were a charter member of the Big 12 conference.
Conference play began with a win over Baylor at home on September 18th, and ended with a win over Oklahoma State in the annual Bedlam Series on November 27th.
The Sooners finished the season 7-5 (5-3 in Big 12), there most wins since 1993, tying with Texas A&M for second in the Big 12 South. They were invited to the Independence Bowl, where they lost to Ole Miss, 25-27.
Following the season, Stockar McDougle was selected 20th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, along with William Bartee in the 2nd round.
- Captains: Cornelius Burton, Josh Heupel, Matt O'Neal, Rodney Rideau, Mike Thornton[3]

2004 NFL Draft[edit]
The 2004 NFL Draft was held on April 24-25, 2004 at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The following Oklahoma players were either selected or signed as undrafted free agents following the draft.
The 2005 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 2005 college football season, the 111th season of Sooner football. The team was led by two-time Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award winner, Bob Stoops, in his 7th season as the OU head coach. They played their home games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. They were a charter member of the Big 12 Conference.
Conference play began with a loss in the annual Red River Rivalry to Texas on October 8th, and ended with a win in the annual Bedlam Series over Oklahoma State on November 26th. During the second quarter of the game against Kansas State on October 1st, a nearby bomb exploded that was heard at the game.[12]
The Sooners finished the season with an overall 8-4 record (6-2 in the Big 12), their worst record since 1999, finishing in a tie with Texas Tech for second in the Big 12 South. They were invited to the Holiday Bowl, where they upset Oregon, 17-14.
Following the season, Davin Joseph was selected 23rd overall in the 2006 NFL Draft, along with Chris Chester in the 2nd round, Dusty Dvoracek, Travis Wilson and Clint Ingram in the 3rd, and J. D. Runnels in the 6th.
On July 11, 2007 the NCAA announced the Sooners would have to vacate every game from 2005 due to NCAA violations relating to Rhett Bomar and J.D. Quinn receiving money from a car dealership for work they did not perform. The punishment effectively gave the team a 0–4 record.[13] However, on appeal, those wins were reinstated in early 2008.[14]
