With what Venables has done in two years, I believe he knows what it takes to resurrect OU’s program. Littrell and Finley should be solid OC’s.
I believe Venables stepped into a tear down build up situation not in terms of talent level, but more about a football culture that was stagnant.
And it appears Arnold is staying regardless of Gabriel’s decision, at least from what Arnold said yesterday.
As for defense, I believe Venables is still trying to see what he has to work with, and next year we should see improvement even against an SEC schedule.
