Bobby Cox - Head Coach
 

Bobby Cox is OBU's all-time leader in coaching wins in all sports, having led the Bison baseball team to 897 wins as he enters his 25th season at the OBU helm. Cox is the only coach to take a Bison baseball team to the NAIA World Series. He has accomplished the feat twice, in 1989 and in 1996.

His teams have never had a losing season. He has coached 15 All-Americans and a dozen major league draftees.

Cox, who was inducted into OBU's Hall of Fame in 1996, was named Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1996; District 9 Coach of the Year in 1986, 1989 and 1991; Area 3 Coach of the Year in 1989 and Great Plain Region Coach of the Year (by the region and by the American Baseball Coaches Association) in 1996.

As a player, Cox was an All-District performer for the Bison in 1979, leading his team with a .389 batting average while driving in a team-high 33 RBI in 34 games.

Cox and his wife, Lyn, have two sons, Bobby and Chris.
