Welcome back Venables.
- Thread starter newnasty
- Start date
If his team's motor runs half as hard as his does, we're gonna be ok.
I'm sure Venables gets the job and now I'm looking to see who will join his staff.
Thats great news, even better than seeing that USC lost to Cal last night.
Everyone might want to hold up. This contradicts Venerables being the new HC

Oklahoma football: Is Georgia DC Dan Lanning the next Oklahoma head coach?
Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning is in the mix to be named the new Oklahoma football head coach according to reports.
Sorry I didn’t see the other thread till now that SI made a correction to the story.
You know that Riley loved the USC loss. Snake that he is.
I watched part of game. Riley was in NC (allegedly) USC looks pretty barren. One WR who looks good. Rest of the now 4-8 Blowjans look in disarray. Oh and Taco Tech “great” Graham Harrel is their OC at present. Cal pretty much controlled the whole game. Way to step into a flaming pile of dog crap Riley...
I'm Okay with BV as Head Coach. I think I like in fact.
Offense is catching up, but I still believe that defense wins championships, and he's going to bring that "defense first" mentality to OU (similar to what Bob Stoops did back in 1998). LIke aranda did at Baylor.
BV has gotten it done at the highest level, and I don't think he'll be intimidated by the move to the SEC. Instead, I think he'll prosper there. Revel in the challenge. He'll fit in. I can't say the same about LR or Mike Leech for example.
The only thing I hope for is that he hires a creative mind for his OC. Someone with a system and scheme that will attract the top offensive talent in the nation. Because, as I mentioned, a "game management" type offense isn't good enough anymore. Just ask the Bulldogs. You've got to have the fire power to win the occasional shoot out.

I’ve thrown a couple ideas out there, not very good ideas actually, but from what I’m reading Lanning would be a great fit for us. Hire the Mississippi OC and we’re good to go.
Lebby will be the OC, but who will be the DC is the question. Lanning or Schumann who are co DC at UGA could work. Schumann has quite the resume working with UGA and Bama. His inside linebackers are always good.
We need to find a solid secondary coach. I just looked and Roy Manning is no longer listed as a coach. Ou does not have a coach for the secondary. With Venables, Odoms and Cain there are 3 linebacker coaches.
Wasn't Manning the guy who was recruiting for USC while he was on the OU staff?
Keep Coach Thibs and Murray, please! Awesome Sooners, those two!!!!(

That was last night's false news. The Venables hire is good to go.
The new era of OU football is underway. He's the next OU Head Coach
Call it 'official' speculation and well leaked rumors... it's happening everyone.
It’s no longer speculation.
And Manning, and considering Kobie McKenzie just verbaled to UT, I think it’s pretty safe to add Odom.
