Several sources have informed me that everything is in place for Brent Venables to be Oklahoma’s next head coach.

I can’t say for certain whether that will be announced at the 3pm press conference, but you’d have to imagine, especially given the timing, that it’s a distinct possibility.

Assuming things are indeed finalized between Venables and Oklahoma, what a masterpiece of a job by Joe Castiglione. This coaching search literally lasted less than 24 hours.

Fickell must have already told them he is headed to LSU.

Is it really masterful? Looks like a snap decision to me , and sadly I feel it is because LSU is getting Dabo. Why would OU want a career coordinator to be their next head coach? I would think OU could do better than that

I mean it’s a good higher but what I don’t get it is all the OU fans on the message board saying this is a grand slam

They think this is getting the band back together to build an elite D for their move to the SEC

Seems like a panic hire

Let me guess, Woody had no intention of giving him an offer either.

Not saying he’d be bad, but odd Oklahoma going for a defensive guy.

My first reaction is that this isn't going to work.

Makes sense, their defenses couldn't even defend a hotdog stand under heavy duress in the French Quarter by Rosie O' Donnel.

Respectable hire. They are preparing for SEC.

Why is Venables to Oklahoma a masterpiece? He could be the next Kirby Smart or he could be the next Will Muschamp. I wouldn’t call a massive gamble a masterpiece. It worked out with Lincoln Riley but it’s far from a guarantee, especially in the tougher SEC.

Is this because Dabo is leaving too?

Wasn’t Venebales fired by OU when he and Stoops were co-defensive coordinators?
