OT: Brent Venables to OU (no longer rumor)

[Hardcore Cane]

Venables will fail at OU

probally fired sometime around mid season in year two of his contract

 

[Fightinibis]

OU Boards saying done deal. We'll see.

Of course.

We should have been begging this guy to come to UM for the last 3 years, and F*%K off in advance to the "he would never come to Miami" crowd who never consider asking first and offering real $$$ before ****ting their pants and caving.

 

[Bennubird]

As a Cane, from where I sit, this would be a great move. Not mad at this at all. It would set back two programs that are ahead of us.

If he does bolt, I would circle back for a check in with Clemson's AD.

 

[Hufftwoseven]

ACC just sitting there for the taking next season ...

And we have a **** good QB/RB with some workable pieces on defense as well LT/JW

 

[dookie blaylock]

Of course.

dude has been incredibly vocal about not wanting to be a head coach. i don't think he succeeds if this ends up happening.

 

[CANEMC]

He would instantly help their defense for sure. Struggled a lot this season.

 

[TheEye]

OU Boards saying done deal. We'll see.

So Bob Stoops is yanked out of retirement to bye a few weeks for Brent? That would be…impressive…?

 

[Baba Yaga]

Good, go do this corny **** in the SEC.

 

[g8rh8rMD]

Impossible:

U need at least 4 weeks to find a new coach.

 

[g8rh8rMD]

If true, ACC is truly ripe for the taking.

Good news for.... Wake Forest???

 

[g8rh8rMD]

OU Boards saying done deal. We'll see.

If true, Mike Bohn doing God's work.

 

[JBCanes-NC]

The absolute irony in all of this just makes me laugh. 12 hrs to pay $4m, taking 4 weeks to make sure we don’t pay $4m+. Lol.

Would be a bad hire IMO, Venables is a lifelong coordinator type.

He’s a Bob Stoops disciple & was there for 12 years before he went to Clemson, but this is basically Oklahoma’s version of going “all Miami bro!”.

The logic is, since they’re going to the SEC that they’ll need a more Defensive minded HC & due to his time at Clemson is a good recruiter in the South.

However, this is a sign that Oklahoma as a program isn’t as highly thought of as imagined, they should be able to land a big time HC, settling for a DC signifies they’re not trying to spend a lot of money & they’re expecting to be a mid-level team in the SEC.

They’re basically trading in the Ferrari for a Ford Fusion sedan.

What I'd give for a Fusion Sedan at Miami.

Venable’s defense was the only thing keeping Clemp$on from losing several more games. Their offense was ***.

 

[Fly1]

Thus would be a bad hire for Okie

Impossible:

the Sooners need to wait till Temple hires a new coach, then steal him !

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

Impossible:

U need at least 4 weeks to find a new coach.

especially when you do not have an athletic director yet....

 

[SevenNSeven]

By The Way, Off Topic, BUT the Temple job just opened up.

I mean……

Wait to see who they hire, then poach him, hire him as our coach?

Could be what all the waiting is about.

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

venables is bud foster without the drinking problem.

Bud Weiser Foster likes to drink?

 

[Hurracanes]

This is phenomenal for us.
