It's just, I have a few Oklahoma friends, you know? I also like to read OU boards. And they all hate Venzy. Hate him. Blame him for every defect in OU's game. They say they want him gone yesterday. It's a lot like our sentiments of Cosh. Just a bad d-coordinator.
But then you look at the numbers...and he's got the best defense in the big 12. OU fans, I don't even know.
Yeah. I mostly want him because:
1) Recruiting
2) He's attainable
Other than giving some young hot-shot-recruiting kid a shot (like when I wanted Snyder to initially hire someone like Major Applewhite or Billy Gonzales for OC first time around), Venzy is our best possible option. And he's probably better than the kids.
He's a young option with a resume, especially if the WVU defense is good, that you can justify to make a head coach.
If he went there for two years and came back as our HCIW, it's a young, well-known face you can build around. Also, it kind of deflects some of the animosity after 98 since he'll have a chance to distance himself from OU and Stoops.
If we want him to coach here, eventually, this may be a good thing in the grand scheme of things.
