Will the return of Mike Stoops as OU DC mark the return of Big Game Bob Stoops?

Bob Stoops used to be a great big game coach that he once had the nickname of "Big Game Bob". However that all changed after Mike Stoops left to become the new Head Coach at Arizona.
Bob Stoops record with Mike Stoops as OU DC
14-3 against ranked competition (12-1 after initial 1999 season)
4-1 record against Texas
3-1 record in Bowl Games
2-0 record in BCS Bowl Games
Mike Stoops left to become the HC of the Wildcats the week before the 2003 Big 12 Championship Game.
Since that time, Oklahoma has:
lost in embarrassing fashion to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game
lost to LSU in the BCS National Championship Game
lost to USC in humiliating fashion in the National Championship Game
lost to Boise State in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl
gotten blown out by West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl
lost to Florida in the National Championship Game
1-5 record in BCS Bowl Games
4-5 record in Bowl Games
4-4 record against Texas
Will we finally see a reverse of fortune for Bob Stoops in big games if his brother returns to Oklahoma to be his DC or has he lost his magic in big games for good?

Big game Bob is a mythical creature that never existed

One can only hope.

He was mostly called Big game Bob for beating fellow choking dog Mack Brown.

Mike Stoops coached in both of those games. He might have accepted the AZ job before, but he coached OU for both games.

Actually pretty reasonable
There is a ton of distinction in that program right now, next year could be interesting

His head definitely wasn't in it when Oklahoma played Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game. Even Todd Blackledge strongly hinted at it after hearing the results during the LSU/Georgia SEC Championship Game. I thought Mike Stoops left before playing LSU in the national championship game that year but if he didn't, his defense played good enough to win. OU caused Matt Mauck to commit several turnovers and held LSU to something like 122 yards passing. OU just didn't get anything from their offense in that game.

Actually, LSU had 312 yards in total offense, 159 yards rushing and 153 yards in the air. OU had 154 yards in total offense. LSU averaged 4.9 yards per play. OU averaged 2.2. LSU lost one fumble and had 2 interceptions. OU fumbled twice, lost none, and had 2 interceptions.

Mike did not coach in the Sugar Bowl.

Is it a sure thing that Mike is returning to OU?
