Just finished Brent Venables pre-Tenn presser

[adam.vol]

Seems like a "joyful warrior".

Even if he is a scumbag, he can’t be that bad..

Brent Venables. Tennessee Defensive Coordinator of the future.

He was supposed to be great at sign stealing during the game. Is that real or did he not get caught doing the Conor Stallions thing?

 

[LittleVol]

Seemed very genuine about Coach Hype and how he was a catalyst to Oklahoma returning to greatness.

He said sometimes God steers you away from one path and puts you on another that leads to something GREATER.

He’s saying something we already know, but the context means everything. Josh was supposed to be the next in line to Bob Stoops. Favorite All American son.

There’s A LOT of emotion in this game.


Nico and company just have to have narrow vision and go to work! Save all the hugs and daps till after we’ve won.

A 40 minute press conference in this day and age is absolutely insane

 

[GenRRN]

I didn't watch the whole thing, but I can say I didn't like him coming in just based off of the Clemson connection. But after hearing him speak I already have more respect for him than some other SEC coaches, especially Drinkwitz.

 

[BruiserVol]

Honestly, one of the best recent pressers I’ve seen in awhile. Likable guy for sure. I’m a bit uncomfortable with how knowledgeable he seems to be of our team. No coach speak or short answers. Very thorough and on the money. Enforces my thoughts that Oklahoma will be ready and give us all we want. I don’t foresee a blowout.

You will really be impressed

I watched the whole thing, and can’t help but have a ton of respect for Venables and his program. I hope they go undefeated after we come out of Norman with a win.

 

[VOL RN]

Sounds a lot like the old Lou Holtz press conferences.

 

[Vfl2407]

I just hope we don't find it.

The one area I'm most concerned with is our O lines ability to give Nico a clean pocket.

I hope Heard is healthy.
I love Heupel but don’t trust one word he says about injuries.

 

[knox73]

Thanks for posting this. Brent’s story is quite inspiring. Wishing this man much success except when he faces Josh Heupel. My son in law graduated from K-State and he marveled at Bill Snyder and liked Venables and Mike Eketer as well. He was on the squad one season at K State but dropped football after an injury. I will send him the story of Venables. You can tell Clemson losing coach Venables was a serious loss.

 

[TheGoodStuff]

Lots of good stuff on Josh and Vols

Coach did his homework.

The opening evaluation wasn’t prepared for the press or some preemptive lame excuse.

This is a solid scouting report which OU will benefit from. No doubt used it to challenge his team to be ready

 

[VolForLife83]

Great endorsement for coach Heupel lol

You can tell he has a lot of respect for him.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

He’s no Eli Dimwits or Shane Reamer (and that’s a good thing).

 

[HARTUPM]

Is it just me or does the guy not look like the first sales guy you walk into on a shady arse car lot...???

shallow minded and cliché' comment

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

You will really be impressed

Very likable guy

 

[aRmo]

I need the Cliff’s Notes version.

Not really Cliff notes, just talks about his time with Heupel when he was playing for Oklahoma and coaching there. And Venables is a really genuine dude. I watched it and was really surprised. Good stuff there.

 

[VolRage]

Venables seems like a good guy but his fan base……..turds.
