Is Brent Venables a good coach? (1 Viewer)

I don’t know anything about this guy.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Great DC. How that translates to HC? Who knows

 

[BIGSTICK67]

All I know is that due to his influence it'll be less than 22 years before they win their next national title.

to me he reminds me a bit of Bo Pelini. but it's easier to recruit to Oklahoma so they'll be really good at least until the move to the SEC

There's just something about him that seems off to me

I thought Frost would win 9 games per year though so what do i know

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Overrated coach. It’s well known that he’s a sign stealer. Ohio State decided to huddle vs them because of this and hung 49 in the CFP. Hopefully Frost is taking notes and not hunting or playing golden tee

I actually give him a better chance at competing in the SEC than Riley. You know the guy will bring a defense that will be on par with the other elite teams in the sec west. Riley wasn’t going to do that at OU. He was going to be a perennial 3-4 loss team in the west The big question is what will his offense look like during Venerable’s tenure. He seemed to pass the first test on paper with the his OC hire. Lebby is a legit OC.

I can tell you that Dae’Vonne liked Oklahoma’s staff

what's not to like? I mean, they are proven winners...look at Frost's staff now...proven winners in the past, that's another reason this year is important for the program.

He does a lot of drugs

There's always some risk when you hire a guy who has never run his own ship before.

It was always odd to me that he was never a strong candidate for any HC job in the last 10 years or so, as he had established himself as a DC at OU well prior to Clemson. Plenty of message board rumors around that, but you'd figure someone would have taken a flyer on him, like his alma matter in KSU. Maybe he was waiting for the right job?

I'm on the fence as to how he'll turn out but the party will be over when they join the SEC.

He had other job opportunities. He shot them down. I’m pretty sure he was offered the Auburn and West Virginia jobs. We know he had k-state for sure if he wanted it.

Nothing is ever a sure thing. Seems every coach hired is a coin flip.

I will also say this: words from his mouth. “Nebraska sucks now that they’re in the B10”

He’s not wrong but sucks hearing him say that. Don’t know what to make of it and I’m sure there’s a chance if we have a very productive season.

I wouldn’t trust any hire outside Urb and Saban for college. Im pretty sure Riley will work at USC with his offense and the pac 12 being shitty, but you never know.

Basically had Justin Fields run to the sideline to get the call every play, got fucking wrecked. Big 12 is trash so he’ll do just fine this year then Oklahoma will find themselves behind Georgia Bama ATM LSU & probably even some middling programs like Ole Miss

Wait…don’t we all? 😳

The thing for Riley is 1) He’s basically never had to actually build a staff and 2) He’s never really had to build or rebuild anything. I’m not saying he’s not gonna do well at USC. But it’s not like OU when he took over and USC where they are now is the same thing. He got tossed the keys to a Porsche and he drove that car well.
