1. Not ensuring Caleb Williams was paid the Brinks truck to stay. OU probably goes 11-1 with him at QB in 22, even with a trash defense.

2. Hiring Ted Roof as the DC for 2022 and 2023. He spent 2 years ****ing around with a sorry ass scab, that was sucking up a key staff position. Venables was the DC, we all know that, which took his eyes off everything else he needed to do as the HC at a place like OU.

3. Firing Cale Gundy, should have suspended him for 3 games, fined him, warned etc, not fired him on the spot.

4. Letting Dillon Gabriel leave, especially going in to the SEC, with a monster schedule. 2 Frosh QBs are just not ready, we are lousy at QB right now.

5. The obvious final blow here. The hiring of Littrell and Finley will be the death blow of his tenure as HC. Just so bad. Worst Offense in the country along with maybe Florida State. We do nothing well offensively, have zero playmakers. Injuries aside, geepers creepers we are terrible.

-Final Cut: in hindsight, Dan Lanning would have been a much better higher than Venables. Most of us wanted Venables of course, his familiarity with the program and with Bob Stoops got him hired. Lanning just gets it, young guy, no bull shit, intense and committed. Venables bull shits for an hour at press conferences and says nothing of note. Program is going backward. 5-7 or 6-6 ahead, although I do not know who can beat minus Maine with our Offense.
