Oklahoma Names Venables New Head Coach

[TAF]

Oklahoma hires Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables as Sooners' new football coach (espn.com)

I like that his name is Lanning and not Heupel

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Woof.

 

[Boston Vol]

I believe this story is based on a report by Sports Illustrated that has since been corrected. They are now saying that Lanning is “in the mix” but not hired as of yet.

After seeing his defense get torched by Alabama no doubt

Feels like hiring Pruitt. I’d expect OK to hire someone with head coaching experience if they’re going outside the current staff.

Thank God for OU fans because going from a top five offensive play caller to a guy who doesn’t even call plays on his own defense would be ROUGH

 

[TJVol95]

Not impressed

 

[perico]

Venables

Chris Low says it's Venables and Ole Miss’ Lebby could be going with him as OC.

It's not going to be Lanning while GA is still in the hunt for the CFP.

He's got more class than Brian Kelly.

OU fans know how to stalk a coaching search. Someone got this clip of OU AD Joe Castiglione at Venables lake house.

Looks like Venables is who they really want.

That picture came from Clemson's Tigernet board. Sounds like the plane is sitting waiting to fly out with BV.

Need a better shot of the tie to determine the exact color.

Sounds like a done deal: https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-fo...nator-brent-venables-headed-to-oklahoma-39207

Lanning seems to be their likely OC.

 

[allvol123]

Lanning seems to be their likely OC.

They will hire a DC as their OC? Ballsy.

That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them

Thats what they will say at his press conference. Do we really think thats the first choice?

If it wasn’t, they sure did a good job of making it look like he was.
