Venables to Oklahoma being finalized

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

Great get I feel he's another Kirby type hire

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

He’s one of the best DC’s in America, if not the best, with a connection to OU. No need to overthink it.

Georgia hired Kirby, and I'd say it's working out well for them.
Defense will never be an issue. They might be getting DJ as well.

LOL wholeheartedly disagree.
Venables is a weirdo and will be a huge failure watch
Posted on 11/29/21 at 2:33 pm to CarolinaGamecock99
Let me guess, Woody had no intention of giving him an offer either.

This is not a panic hire. Venables is well known to OU. He has always been really liked by the administration. OU likes to hire Coordinators as head coach (Wilkinson, Switzer, Stoops, Riley).

I suspect Castiglione had his short list ready to go with Riley linked to jobs left and right the past few years. So he went after it.
Now the next question is, who does he bring as OC.

Peetz is available

I think you’re on the right track with this
Posted on 11/29/21 at 2:37 pm to CarolinaGamecock99
Not saying he’d be bad, but odd Oklahoma going for a defensive guy.
Posted on 11/29/21 at 2:39 pm to rmyers35
Maybe I’m wrong, but it just doesnt “feel” like Venebles will be a big winner as a HC.
