So since its a guessing game as to who we hire has a DC you guys wanting? Here's a suggestion move Brandon Hall to linebackers, and bring in Jim Leonhard to do safeties and DC.
DC?

We are not attracting any big name with the mountain if issues this team has. I fully expect a hire from a much lower tier program.
Knowles is a Philadelphia native so it’s understandable he might want to be closer to his roots, a three hour drive away from Penn State.
I don’t see his decision as being based on OU’s issues, which may change this fall with an elite QB, a healthy receiving corps, an improved offensive line and a new and proven offensive coordinator.

5 defensive coordinator candidates still available for Oklahoma after missing Jim Knowles
Brent Venables is still searching for the Sooners' next defensive coordinator, and there are still solid options available.

I’m starting to believe that OU’s best option….and a very good option….is to have Venables serve as both head coach and defensive coordinator.
He can add other coaches as needed.

Ugh……he can’t handle the head coaching job. I would be scared to death to let him try and do 2 jobs.
Before I write Venables off completely, I want to see how he does with his own recruits, a healthy roster, a solid offensive line, a solid offensive coordinator and above all, a wife who conquers cancer.
I'm not optimistic about it. We have an equally tough schedule next season and I'm not sure we are improved enough at WR or oline to be that much better. If we have another losing season then that will be get for BV.
I think we will be better at WR and the OL could be better with the two transfers (so far) and two elite freshman. And maybe the holdovers on the OL from last year will be better.
And maybe if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle.
Just like this board I would venture to say that if one interviewed 100 Sooner fans about the current coaching staff going forward it would be around 50-50 on retaining him for the future.
As we all know for our fanbase if he produces another losing season or just 7 wins I doubt he would survive another season. However none of us know how JC and the donars would view it.

At this time, I’m more concerned about the open DC position in that Spring Training is set to begin in March. That’s going to be a very important hire that is very likely to have an impact whether Brent is going to be the HC in 2026.
