Coach Ive known Toby since 1989. I owned a western nite club Tulsa City Limits.....He worked my club for 1800 weekly....we all use to laugh when I booked a national act and Toby would open and every time he would blow the big act off stage.... it got so bad that no big band would play if Toby's band Easy Money was booked.... we talked OU football recruiting every time he played.Toby knew players GPA. vertical 40 time. ... he was one of a kind... I was in Nashville the nite he signed his record deal .... he was true man of Faith and a hard worker.... So glad to have been his friend ... my best friend Jimbo Elrod was with Toby the nite Jimbo passed away..... GOD BLESS his family!!!!!

You were a great friend to Toby. We are all hurting at his loss. I know Jesus is so happy to have him with him.

Y'all made me cry, I knew him and will say he had alot of best friends ❤ love you brother, sorry your hearts broke too!

North Dakota Veteran here, we had the privilege of seeing him in concert 5 times but what he did for us troops and the USO will always make me love thIs man. ❤️. R I P

Saint Paul MN here, owned just one Toby album when in 2017 got a call, extra ticket For Toby playing at the Mn State Fair. Ran over quit and watched the greatest show in my life and I have attended well over 100. That showed turned me into a massive fan and I've thought about it often as it was that outstanding, what a performer. Crowd was on its feet almost the whole show and the place was packed. Can't thank you enough for this show as it confirmed all I assumed about this man. I do feel robbed as I had no doubt I would be seeing in concert again and soon. Ted Nugent said it best the other night when he stated "I have a hole in my heart and so does half America". It's been four days since I received that early morning text and I can't quit watching Toby's video's and interviews since. What a huge loss and thankfully the Legend's music lives on . Unexplainable that no celebrities passing has ever effected me this hard and I am missing him more with each new great song I discover.

I first met Toby in 1994, when, prior to the County Fair, he did a signing at Borders. He was literally "Larger then Life!" He was a very kind, giving soul. A TRUE Gentle Man

Toby sang "MacARthur Park" about 6 or 7 years ago when Oklahoma song writer, Jimmie Webb was honored by Carnegie Hall. As the mother of a soldier, I will always remember and respect and admire how much Toby supported our military. What a wonderful man he waa!

THANKS TOBY FOR THE MAN YOU WE'RE AND A GREAT OKIE !!!

My son went to school with Bob’s sons and Toby’s son, and they all played little league sports together. Toby was a down to earth dude who fit right in with all of us in Norman. He was just another parent, like all the rest of us. I liked him, and I’m saddened by his death. He was a unique individual who kept his feet on the ground, despite his ability to soar due to his talent.

Your love for Toby Keith & his wife shines through. Thank you for talking about someone we love so much!😢

I love hearing the stories from those that knew Toby. Thank you for sharing. To those that are Veterans...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service. I keep you all in my prayers❤️ I love what Toby did for our military. RIP TK

Been feeling the same way coach. We all are being cheated out of what this great poet still had to say. Sad day for Okies. Sad day for American Patriots. Boomer Sooner big dog, RIP

amen I'm so glad I will see him again it makes me smile to know he is a child of God one in Christ praying for his family and close friends God bless his family

You are doing Toby justice, for talking as friends, keeping it real. A life well lived. Gone so soon. ❤

He is singing with Merle and Jimmy. Still writing awesome songs. Telling jokes with his dad and grandma and friend Wayman.

If you do only one thing for Toby, keep his memory alive.

Toby is above idol, genius, legend. He is a compassionate human being. Thank you, Toby, you are needed in Heaven now, Pain Free………

Thank you for this

As an Oklahoma Veteran I can say he most appreciated and loved playing for us Troops deployed overseas and in turn was loved by the Military. His larger than life presence will be missed and can’t be replaced but it can still be felt in the moments of remembrance. Were Sooner Born & Sooner Bred and when we die were Sooner dead! Boomer to TK👏🏼☝🏼

Thanks, Coach - I didn't know or ever meet Toby, but as a veteran, I miss him already - his contributions of time, talent, and willingness to give to the troops is (Bob Hope) legendary...I think the mark of a truly great man is that I've never head anyone ever say anything bad about Toby. He died way too early - RIP, Toby, and thank you.

Coach Bob Stoops, I've had the Pleasure of meeting you, and You are Class. I definitely Want Drake Stoops to Go to an NFL team I like ( Seattle or Denver, or Buffalo). Also, Thank You for signing my OU Helmet in Gold in 2009 in Norman. I've made 33 Home Oklahoma Sooners Games since 2002 from Granbury and Weatherford, Tx. As for TOBY KEITH, their will Never be Another TK, Original and 1 of A Kind as it gets. I've ate at Toby Keiths I ❤ this Bar and Grill in Bricktown 40 or 50 times, Garlic Mashed Potatoes are Best on Earth 🌎.. Much love and Blessings to All of the Stoops and Keith Families.

Love this…took me this long to listen to it 😢

Thanks Coach....for your perspective and memories.

Oklahoma Legend ! Sad Loss....😢😢😢 RIP TK....

What a legacy he left

Toby was bigger than life !

We were his “Boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad City.” He had millions of friends in camouflage!!!! Can we please get him buried with military honors? #21GunSalute

God speed to the old Roughneck from Oklahoma. Rip TK.

My daughter and I had gone to the area of Toby's ranch, cause the pine needles were longer than the ones at the Lake (Overholser) and Brit was in the truck she see';s him and OMG MOM Stop using the Walmart sack !!!! He told her I shop at Walmart, doesn't bother me. He asked what I was doing with pine needles and I had a basket that I did and he liked that, to be creative. I told him I did medieval faires in Stroud. So that was a wonderful memory for me, even he got a laugh at Brit's expense when she sunk down in the seat after hollering it's Toby Keith, Mom. I said yeah, that's his ranch across the road, that nice spread. But I'll keep that memory forever.

Coach, I was thinking that the other day.... Toby's phone was probably always blowing up from everyone he knew and all the closet friends he had! Such a legacy, and such a loss for everyone.

Love❤❤❤If I Were Jesus

The greatest tragedy in the world is when there’s good and evil, and good men do nothing. TOBY SET THE EXAMPLE WHAT it is like to be the common man, and understood the truth and freedom, because he embraced duty honor country

I LOVE t he song" If I Were Jesus " I have every CD Toby put out. I live far west end of OKC, I'm OK Born, (Altus OK!!) OK Tough, I'm also 62, so having Toby pass at this age, always liked it that for 6 months, he was the same age as I was. My dad's birthday was Jan 13, mine 31st...mom's is Feb 16th (I miss my mom & dad = Dad had, Alzheimer's and he died after breaking his hip. His Identical twin brother also has it and has no idea who I am. Dad didn't know me neither but I knew he was dad and that's all that mattered to me. Mom.. I really believe it was due to a broken heart. It's been a yr today that I lost her too. I Miss our Coach, Mr. Stoops or Coach Stoops, I'm a BIG OU Football fan :D

Great job as always guys! I was especially impressed with the way Brad handled this interview👏👏👏

Sorry for your loss Bob! Faith, Care, Bravery, Humility, Humour! That Was Toby! A True American Patriot! A Great Loss to America! I hope that his Foundation receives even more Donations and Support through the Greater Awareness of the Contribution that this Giant made not only to Music and Military but to Mothers and Fathers through the Support of the "Toby Keith Foundation" Best Regards Gentlemen! Paul

RIP Toby😢

I wish Toby could have hung on to see the SEC debut.

Brad & Coach, enjoy the show. I really appreciate your stories honoring TK. Makes me proud to be from Oklahoma as do you guys. Coach, if Drake ends up in Buffalo, we'll definitely make him feel at home. And, I love the new podcast with Issac and Joe C Jr. Let the good times roll!

R I P Toby Keith you will be missed 😢😢😢😢🎉

"If I were Jesus" is definitely my favorite TK song! It took me one time to fully appreciate what the song and TK were saying to me. Thank you Coach for being a fan of that song and bringing it forward. I hope that many will look it up and be touched!

God bless and rest in peace Toby Keith.

Best show every rest in peace Toby

Perfect way to put it… we have been cheated

❤🙏👍

I need to see the Stephen Colbert tribute. I wondered if he would do something because you could always tell they genuinely liked and respected each other even though they were on the complete opposite ends of the political spectrum.
