Stoops did lose a number of big games (the BCS games), but so did 50% of all coaches who ever had their teams play in those games.

He won 10+ games in 15 of 18 seasons.  If we subtract a game for the shorter seasons, Barry Switzer won 9+ games in 13 of 16 seasons, but that included three national championships and 12 conference championships.

The three coaches between Switzer and Stoops flat out couldn't hold a candle to either one, and that was Gary Gibbs, Howard Schnellenberger and John Blake.  Gibbs never did better than 3rd in conference, Schnellenberger finished 4th in his only season and Gibbs never did better than fifth.

Stoops won one national championship (went undefeated, something Switzer never did) and won 10 of 18 conferences.  He was 9-9 in bowl games, but he finished the season ranked 3rd and 5th the last two years.
