Brent Venables

[ELL3]

New coach at OU

[wetwillie]

Good for him, he held out for the one he wanted.  Will be interesting to see who he brings with him as OC.

[WildcatNkilt]

I'm not seeing this report (yet).  Any links?

['taterblast]

it's not confirmed in any way as of now

[Trim]

How long after it's official before the unspeakable sin is spoken?

[Brock Landers]

Are you referring to that tweet form "@BleacherRepor"???  lol

Should have been us, but we went small timey with Kliegoober. Such a shame.

I will not be laughing at OU as much if this is the case

[IPA4Me]

Read a thread with some OU fans pushing for Klieman. 👀🙃

They will be having the last laugh, so to speak.

Yeah, they'll come out of this smelling like roses

Agreed

Anyone taking the OU job right now is a masochist

It makes too much sense for Venables to not take the job imo. I’m sure he’s negotiating to get near a top 5 HC salary with zero years HC experience, he’ll get a slightly longer leash because he’s a hometown hero, and worst case he’ll land back as DC at a major program.

If it’s not Venables it’s because he simply doesn’t want to be a HC.

[muqluk]

Unless you actually have a desire to ever be a successful Hc to begin with.

With BV it’s a hard read at this point if that’s even on his radar of long term goals

Home town hero??

[outofstate]

Weren't OU Fans calling for his head when he was DC for OU? Or was that Mike Stoops?

[OK_Cat]

Venables was ran out of Norman, he’s not going back. Same with Heupel.

Both. Bob ran Brent then rehired Mike and OU fans rightfully were pissed at that too.

I don’t mean literally, I just think many think of him as a Sooner at heart who earned his right to coach there.

fair enough

After the great K-State exodus of 98, Venables and Mikey Stoops were the Co-DCs at OU until 2004 when Stoops left for the head job at Arizona. Venables was then the sole DC at OU from 2004 through the 2011 season. Mikey Stoops got fired and Bob Stoops didn't want to leave his brother hanging. Everyone knew he would make a spot at OU and Venables (rightfully) didn't want to go back to being a Co-DC, so he left for Clemson.

Anyone who is going to be happy for BV should do a Twitter search of Brent Venables. OU fans are the absolute worst. Just talking crap to everyone, acting like they didn't run him out of town the last time he was in Norman.
