3:02 Well, 90-something out of 123 players weren't at OU before he arrived, so yeah I'd say he really tore it down and started from as close to scratch as you could get. Not to mention some of the upgrades and stuff to the current facilities and what-not.
I think Brent Venables is going to be an excellent coach and I'm a Bulldogs fan. The guys been there one year. Give him a chance. In a Power 5 setting it takes 4 to 5 years to turn a program around and become a contendet
It might. Joining the SEC makes it harder and the current 12 team playoff format will give 6 automatic bids to “conference champions”. Like many SEC schools a 1-3 loss OU will get surpassed for about 2-3 of those automatic bids and/or 1 loss teams from lesser conferences. The SEC expansion will be hurt by this until they remove “automatic bids”.
As a Clemson fan, I missed him the second he left for OU. But that's a top 3 job in college football. I hope he does a fantastic job. Guy barely had half a football team last year after Riley took them all to USC. I agree with giving him 4 years to get his players then see what he creates.
As a long time OU fan, what often is overlooked by so many when thinking about the 6-7 season of 22 is how OU was on a decline ever since Lincoln Riley took over. Year-after-year, on almost every metric, they were getting worse. There were so many games we almost lost against teams we should have dominated. Just look at the first game of LR's last season, against the Green Wave of Tulane. OU BARELY squeaked by with a W after struggling all game - that was just the start of a REALLY rough season. LR inherited a great program, drove it into the rocks but bailed before it hit. Coach V took over, hit the rocks but sees exactly what to change, how to change it and has the right approach. It's only a matter of time before everyone else learns what we Oklahoman's already know. Coach V is going to be a legendary Head Coach!!
What a load of BS. Lincoln Riley just wasn't enough of a hick for the trash segment of the OK fan base. That, and he left. Inferiority complexes can cause a fury. You can cherry pick individual games, but the fact remains that Stoops last five years he went 51-14. Riley went 55-10. None of that says anything about Venables. He deserves some slack as a first time head coach in the first season, but it has nothing to do with a "decline ever since LR took over."
@echt114 you instantly going to the insults shows you weren't paying attention during his 5 year Tenure at OU. Sure you can look at 55-10 on paper, but did you watch every game from 2017 to 2021 in their entirety?
@@echt1142022 OU was the same as 2021 OU minus one big factor; Caleb Williams. Something tells me you didn’t watch any of OU’s 2021 season. Us fans were not satisfied. We were undefeated and kept slipping in the polls because people saw that the team wasn’t very good. Lots of close wins against much inferior teams. TBOW definitely caused this mess and BV is trying to clean it up.
@@echt114 you're so full of it your eyes are brown. That kind of nasty, degrading bigotry about anyone makes people vomit. Haven't you got any manners at all? Muleshoe was just as hick and red behind the neck as anyone. You make him sound like a silk stocking top-hat wearing fancy pimp from New Orleans. He's a jake-leg from the sticks... Muleshoe, Texas is right in the middle of nowhere. The man didn't know any of his defensive players except probably by the number on the kid's jersey. No, TBOW tried to sell that manure that he had learned of the "opening" after the game when in fact his agent had been talking to the University of Spoiled Children from the day they fired their head coach. Muleshoe will fit right in with USC; all bluster and flash, but not prepared to play smash-mouth football with a team like Utah. A man has the right to change jobs; it's how he does it that reveals whether he has any class or not. Muleshoe raided the Sooners, probably negotiated with the Trojans that he could package his recruits and take them with him. That's being a real scumbag. Not only sneak away in the dark before anyone sees him, but he strips the program of key players to feather his nest out west. That's about as low rent as a man can get. Muleshoe's not a man of his word. You got to watch a guy like that because he's the type that cheats at cards.
I'm an OU fan, but I absolutely love him. HONEST, intense, as high energy as they come. Great recruiter. And yes, under some heat but recruiting right now better than OU has recruited in years. His staff seem, SEEM to be very good evaluators. Needs to learn to be more succinct. But anyway, he'll remain a favorite of mine even if he dosen't make it. The issue at OU has been, for awhile a toxic, underachieving culture on defense. Go back and just watch the film. Not just lack of talent, but a real lack of effort. OU will be MUCH better this year. Particularly on D. I'd be willing to bet on him.
If you look at the big picture OU had been getting worse every year since Bob left and last year was a firestorm I expect a different year this year BV will be ok just look at the recruiting the last two years I wonder what he can do when they begin to win
Mizzou fan here. I would rather have a defensive minded coach over a offensive minded one. I think the Oklahoma coach will do just fine. He is recruiting well. Oklahoma always recruits good because they are Oklahoma. Name recognition works. Vaughn
@@packersauburneric3625 has he done anything since getting to OU ??? NO , and our HC has 3 national champs under his belt and you want him on the field instead of calling the plays… okay 💀
Brent Venables will do great things at ou! he's bringing in elite talent on the defense side of the ball, something ou hasn't had in awhile. He will get the ball rolling!
I'm not an OU fan but I like BV. I think they will do well with him. in the future. Last year was tough for them. Luckily this year they have a weak schedule. I think they win 9 games this year.
It’s way too early to tell. So far I’ve been happy with what he’s been able to do with the roster turnover and transfer portal. Recruiting is actually a lot better and more well rounded than I remember it being over the years. I’m ready for a solid defense again. I think it’s coming
Life long fan of Oklahoma born and raised live 30 min from Norman I believe in BV and think he going do great things at Oklahoma and the people who have said they given up on him are the casuals BOOMER!!
BV has 91 new and different players than he did the day he stepped off the plain in Norman. 63 this year. He stated soon after he arrived the whole thing was coming down to the foundation. This may be his first HC job but he has been preparing for it under the tutelage of 3 great coaches in the past. BOOMER.
I am glad, you made this video. That is what my son and I thought from day one. I like LR, but my son didn’t (after week 2 or 3 of his last season) for whatever reason he want to fire him immediately and start with the growing pains. I think BV is going to be OK.
Venables showed you last year exactly what kind of program TBOW was running at OU. It was a program with no depth and persistent elite QB play saving the day. This time when our young 5 star gets his first starts, he won't have to score every single possession of his entire career, or lose the game, like TBOWs QBs had to do.
Always felt bad for Riley's QBs. They had to play the best game of their life every single game because his defense is soooo bad. Generational talent and has zero bowl wins. Lincoln Riley has 1 bowl win his entire career and it was against half a Florida team in a bad bowl. Venables even told us this week players weren't even going to class. Crazy stuff.
@@TheBenzwanger I have always thought that Riley really should be an NFL coach because he is good at using talent but lousy at developing it. Look at how the only true Riley recruit QB panned out for OU.
I didn't want it to be true, but Venables really did have to rebuild the progrsm from scratch. Venables said during media days that 97 of the 123 players on Oklahoma's roster now are in their 1st or 2nd year with the program. That is 78.9% of the players that were not there in 2021. That is Deion at Colorado type of numbers, it just took 2 years instead of 1. I also have all of the confidence in him, but progress needs to be demonstrated. With as terrible and easy as this schedule is, anything less than 9 wins is cause for serious concern. Looking forward to this upcoming season and hope you can find reason to come to an Oklahoma game this year.
@@sonofthesOUth77 Normally I would agree with you, but last year shook my confidence like it did for a lot of other people. I'll set the bar a bit lower this time around, and evaluate from there.
@@sonofthesOUth77 I think 9 wins is the total here, for me at least. Obviously want 11 wins but this is a total rebuild so I have to be realistic with my expectations.
Venables has the hardest job in college football. He's got championship expectations from fans, had his roster gutted from the previous coach (including the eventual Heisman winner), starting QB was hurt, and now he's heading to the SEC in a year.
I’m all in on BV, what he is doing and bringing to the table at Oklahoma is going to be awesome to watch and enjoy. Last year was a mess and he was able to get a good recruiting class. He is getting a great class so far this yr. Kids are one year in the system and can now help the new guys. Things will be better each year going forward in my opinion. Boomer Sooner!!!!!! And I’m excited to be going to the SEC!!!
You have to give a coach at least 4 years to allow him to get the guys he recruited. He wasn’t able to get a full year of recruiting in his first year. However, he has to improve within those 4 years.
@@TheOff1ceFan portal players have college-level tape. At a minimum, you can tell if guys are able to compete at that level. Tennessee completely flipped in just 2 years
@@benstrickland4921 that’s not necessarily true either. There is a lot of portal players that didn’t get to see the playing field and that’s why they are in the portal. Also, Tennessee got fined 8 million and is now on a 5 year probation. Not the example I would have gone with.
@@TheOff1ceFan Tennessee’s penalty has nothing to do with the fact the transfer portal was a big part in making them a borderline playoff team. My whole point is the transfer portal gives you an instant chance to flip your team in way less than 4 years. You can plug holes instantly rather than waiting on a high school kid to develop for 2-3 years
Coach BV will bring some attitude to OU. He did GREAT things for Clemson's defense through the years and has proven himself on that side of the ball. Under Riley, their defense couldn't stop a runny nose. Hes got to get his guys and completely change this idea of winning games 52-49 then get shutdown in the CFP. Remember Lincoln Riley was already the coach in waiting before Stoops left, so he already had the opportunity to get some of the guys he wanted and spread his message.
Honestly, if this recruiting class pops like it could. It may be some of the best recruiting since Switzer was wearing red bike shorts at practice. BOOMER
@@ROUGHNECK75yeah with the likes of trey metoyer in it lol. The ranking system is so much more accurate now than it was then. Sure they still get some players completely wrong but not as often as they did 20 years ago.
people see 6-7 and just say OKLAHOMA AND BRENT VENABLES WONT WORK. it needs context. first off theres no fault in losing to TCU last year. that was a VERY good football team. also losing to texas was not as bad as it seems because we didnt have our starting QB, and we didnt have a competent backup. also our defense was pretty good in spurts. why was in spurts and not all the time? Because we lacked depth on the defensive side of the ball. we were getting gassed by the 4th quarter and thats why we lost so many leads. brent made some coaching mistakes like leaving some freshman out because they didnt know the complex play book yet. it was a bad situation, that being said we were 12 points away from being 10-2. i know most sooners fan remember this, but why do you think oklahoma wasnt opening the playbook hardly at all until week 4? Because no one knew the playbook. everyone was talking about why they didnt open the playbook that much. now we know. it all makes sense looking back at it now. fast foward to now, ive heard multiple players say top 5 defense. if that happens, that would be the biggest turnaround ever.
Never judge a Coach on year one. However if he has another bad year I think that fan base turns on him quick. Not saying anything negative about Oklahoma fanbase though. It is just Veneables first time as a head coach. If he fails 2 years in a row with all those resources it would be hard not to question his ability as a head coach.
Until proven otherwise I will believe in Coach Venables. He was handed a gutted roster and a defense built by "he who must not be named" and his DC. This defense will look a lot more like a Venables defense than last years did. The offense just needs to keep production at a high level, which they did when Gabriel was healthy, and we can put together a lot better season than last year. In fact I will say that we have the capability to go undefeated this year, not saying we will but we have that capability, just got to have some luck and guys that put it all together. I'm ready for the season to begin, GO SOONERS!
Brent will be fine. He needs to make good hires like anyone else would. He may need to make a change at D Coordinator but he has some good young coaches. They recruit well also.
BV is going to be fine. I remember when Stoops came to OU in 99. Everyone had the same hesitation even though at the time we were terrible as a program. People are spoiled, especially OU fans since 2000. We've won a ton for 22 years straight.
Oklahoma fan here. I wrote off last season because of what he came into. The rush to make a recruiting class, the rush to get together a coaching staff, those 2 things were big indicators the 22 season wasn't going to go well. But we honestly did better than I expected because our losses other than Texas were close. This year, he has his guys, but most of the roster that he saught is 1st and 2nd year guys. I think we will do well, but a playoff spot is a dream, I believe. Next year, 24 with his guys having a year under their belt, I think OU will be incredible entering the SEC.
the tearing stuff down i think is accurate there were alot of guys that left that were required to meet a 1 year how Plan he even explained it on media day its a score on how to act how to perform in school and off the field Brent has said it before and he said those that failed to follow that 1 year grace plan when a year was up were shown the door and were rehomed i think as he put it and thats part of the reason all those players have left in the off season.Big takeaway also was him talking about Stutsman able to be leading a players led practice when last year he couldnt do that so i think there was just alot of underpepared parts of the whole team
I am a Brent Venables guy because 1. A down to earth person 2. Ask Brent a question you get an honest answer. 3. How about OU vs TEXAS in the FINAL BIG 12 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME for both teams and before games end both fan bases chant SEC SEC SEC. 4. Watch the 2023-2024 recruits signing 5. Transfer Portal 6. People staying around for the long haul. 7. A LIFE's LESSONS TEACHER. 6. All Brent's kids were born in NORMAN. 7. OU fan base (check the age group) who LOVE BRENT. 8. Best fit for OU moving to SEC on July 1st 2024. 9. Other coaches respect Brent Venables. 10. AND FINALLY WINS OU vs TEXAS 2 times in 2023. BOOMER SOONER!!
BV is going to be just fine. He’s got a great staff, recruiting great, experience previously at OU, and made Clemson defense best or as good as anyone in the nation. 2023 will be much better than 2022, I can already tell, Sooners are well on their way now!
Venables is going to soar at OU. He's got the right mindset and ability to do great things there, and his focus on developing the students not only to be great football players, but to be great humans is something that I'm glad to see after the last guy we had.
BV accepted a challenge. LR bolted taking some of the best players. OU’s defense had slipped under LR. BV encountered injuries last year. 8-5 to 10-3 would be an improvement. I blame LR for BV’s rebuilding mode.
As a Huge SOONER Fan, I like Brent as a person. I believe that he has the ability to be a great Head Coach. He has to prove it though. He's on extremely thin ice with me right now but I'm rooting for him obviously. But I'm tired of people saying that he didn't have good players. OU had good players, just a lot of them didn't get a chance to see the field. This year should be completely different. And OU better beat texass
As a Texas fan that lives in norman. And has since BV was here. This dude is OU built and the people believe. And shame on whatever media outlet is pulling the race card on him. Dude is as real as they get.
The players that left the program with the exception of C Williams didn’t belong at a D1 program as evidenced by the outgoing portal players ending up D2
It’s going to take 3-5 years to see BV complete team and system. Speaking to the current players though BV has made some great moves. Looking at recruiting things look great as well. Only time will tell though but I think BV will be a great HC.
It’s bizarre to me the amount of people who believe a guy who couldn’t even get his calls in on time and blames his players for that is going to succeed. Don’t know how any parent in the country would want the kid to play for someone like that in a Fanbase, like that boos their own starting quarterback at home. OU is The most delusionally arrogant Fanbase in the country.
I get so sick of hearing Texas fans yell out 49-0. I get it, it was a huge win for you guys over your biggest rival (presently). Truth be told, our quarterback was concussed from a dirty hit the previous week and our backups were so bad we marched out the wildcat with our TE as QB thinking that was our best shot to win that game. That's how depleted our roster was and how we had zero backup plan for when/if DG got hurt. I think BV is going to be just fine and I think this year you will see big strides out of the program.
Those are the clueless children that conveniently forgot about the 64-13 beat down that was theirs to bear. What comes around goes around and the payback is likely to be epic.
I completely agree with your assessment about fans of a team. If my team hires an assistant coach from a different team, and that team’s fans are super sad about it, I know it was a good hire.
Great dialog. Seems like he is building a quality program but got creamede a few games last year. New territory for OU. He has been a great coordinator and will get it done given a bit of time. Recruiting well and dont see any smoke and flames yet. He will get it done. Hookem
Wishy washy bandwagon fans aren’t in this for the long haul, those in the know and follow college football understand that this would take time. In bv we trust we’re gonna be the same ou as always and better even, we’re gonna have some dawgs on that defense that’s gonna shock some people because they forget that ou had traditionally been a run first defensive juggernaut. Short memories thinking that tbow was anything other than a splash in the pan. Now we’re really cooking and people will learn to remember that ou is the juggernaut that it’s always been.
OU & Venables is recruiting much better than most expected but I think still when watching him operate, he still comes across as a DC and not a HC. I think as long as he doesn’t have a bad season this year (they won’t with such a cupcake schedule), he can slowly develop into more of a HC and not a DC thrust into a HC position. OU this year is hard to figure out as they again will struggle on both LOS with an average OL (likely worse) and similar average at best DL. Against teams like Texas (OL & DL), KSU (OL), Kansas (OL), & maybe TT (DL) they will likely struggle to varying degrees.
Watching this after going to the game today. I say we are still a year away from making some real noise. The offense needs some more work defense we will see against SMU next week.
I’m at the 5:54 mark, so maybe you’re about to comment on this…but add to this Low Country Boil of crappy circumstances the fact that they’re hurtling headfirst into the meat grinder known as the SEC. Not just referring to the products on the field but EVERYTHING has to be ramped up. I think he’ll do ok. Heck, Kirby lost to Vandy and Tech his first year and now look.
Last year was year 0 for OU. It's commendable. BV-s tenure starts now. And will be full face next year. I think he will be there. They are already kicking down Lincolns recruiting classes at OU. Hook em.
I look back at the schedule and I see five of those games out of seven we should have won three of them were walk-off field goals with and the other two by less than a touchdown... Not to mention people have watched every game and realize that Oklahoma played 600 and some consecutive snaps in a row without the other team getting a holding call when you can call holding on every down for either team... But yet I've seen Oklahoma get several touchdown called back in several of those games we lost as well because of a holding call but yet the other team never got one... Without all that b******* corruption I believe Oklahoma would have been 10-2 or at worse 9-3...
The D was a complete rebuild, he gave it the year to see what he had rather than just unload everyone. Some of the young talent on both sides followed LR to USC while the draft eligible leaders took to the NFL. Lebby's style of O play calling won't last (watch Latrel former UNT coach currently a special assistant and alumni slip in there in 2025 at OC) . Brent will be successful setting them up to compete for titles again very soon.
BV's first year at OU reminded me of Charlie Strong's first year at Texas. I'm a Longhorn fan and I kept defending Strong thru 3 losing seasons. We'll see what happens. I hope I'm right.
I believe BV can be the guy for the job. Too many people quick to jump ship when it doesnt go their way. We had a big decline in players last year. With this new season the d-line should be improved and able to understand BVs scheme on d. I'm not writing them off
Coach Venables is still working it. He has weeded out some of the Riley Era bench riders for players that want to grind and compete for playing time. The defence will be stronger and in better condition to compete for 4 quarters. The offense will score roughly 30 points a game(give or take) if they can get the ball 3-5 more times a game 40+ points a game is not out of the question. BOOMER SOONER
I tend to believe what Rod Babers thought on the subject. That he could be a great coach but the chances of Oklahoma having three consecutive Hall of Fame coaches is not that likely. Is it possible, absolutely. A great program like OU may just hit home runs with every coaching search. But across all sports, 3 all time great head coaches in a row is extremely rare to say the least. I don’t think anyone should pass judgment off of the first year though, this upcoming season will tell you everything you need to know.
And there was a qb hurt last year. Most games lost by 1 score. Still a very good offense. I really wasn’t too upset with last years performance considering all the challenges. OU was the better team agains FSU too which was very encouraging
Thanks for being realistic and giving your honest opinion because that’s exactly what happened. Riley sabotaged OU and BV has had to pick up the pieces and start all over.
How did both QBs transfer to USC? Malaki was still in High school and NO our starting QB didn't transfer until after BV was here, he tried to hang around long enough to ruin OUs chances at recruiting another QB out of the portal. He was talking to Riley the whole time though, even before entering the portal. That's how much of a cheat Riley is. So you have no idea what happened.
@@stinkasscat Calab Williams transferred to the University of Southern Cal, Spenser Rattler transferred to the University of South Carolina. Both are called USC.
The common college football fan, has NO IDEA of what it takes to win at this level and to win consistently is really a small miracle. Most fans are unaware of all the ingredients it takes to put a successful product on the field. I have a GREAT APPRECIATION for programs that are successful. Now, SUCCESS is subjective, depending on what program someone is speaking of. This was a GREAT SHOW, and the fact that you are able to explain ANY PROGRAM can go through what Oklahoma went through last season, was a breath of fresh air. The intricacies of D1 college football, are literally like the parts of the human body. Each has a specific job to benefit the entire body/PROGRAM.
If I'm not mistaken, what was Nick S. First year at at Alabama like, didn't he go like 7 and 6 and look where he is today . The first year he had to pretty much take over Lincoln Riley awful defense , and we all know he could care less about defensive side of the ball. People need to understand that he needs time to get his recruit's in
He played for Bill Snyder. He started his coaching career under Bill Snyder. Those two facts, along with his track record at Clemson make me think that I'm not going to count him out just yet.
If you were being honest you would come out of the closet as you gotta be gay if you think i am a woman.. sorry home boy I don't roll that way.. go cruise the Texas football chat for that since that's what you are really looking for. Maybe they will hold your hand while BV makes the tuff decisions.
OU rep here! We will be just fine. Games are won in the trenches. Championships are won off defenses. Two things that are greatly improving under Coach Venables. Delayed gratification is a sign of intelligence, and if you expected the same level of production after losing our Head Coach, OC, DC, and starting QB you’re foolish at very best. Boomer Gotdamn Sooner!!
Why has no one commented or done a video on the differences between a coordinator and a head coach. BV will always be a defensive coordinator. Unlikely to place himself with the ranks of Lincoln Riley and other great coaches.
I mean he’s already stole 4 recruits head to head vs. Mario and he’s about to steal David Stone (top 5 overall player in the country) out of IMG. So far Brent owns Miami.
Miami and OU have been battling head to head last two standing for 4 recruits so far and OU won those battles. They are also in a battle for David Stone (top 5 DL in the country) right now. Miami has spent their entire time talking trash about BV and OU to these recruits during their entire visits at Miami rather than talking about their own program so BV was just throwing shade back at Miami for all the crap they have been saying and telling recruits.
@@hotcarl3854it's good to see there are some fans out there like you that know the real story. All these idiots talking about media days have no idea about anything, they just throw things at the wall hoping they will stick. I think the fact that Mario didn't catch as much flak for a bad first season might play part in it also. They just throw money at players to recruit.
I think Brent will be good not great, but this season is crucial. He isn’t under normal circumstances. Minimum of 9 wins is almost needed to carry momentum into the sec. It’s a hell of a job they asked him to do when hiring him, should’ve expected last year after Riley. Need to see an improvement. Don’t matter if it is not his guys, they’ve had a year in his system and he brought a lot of guys in. Need a tangible defense this year, top 35
Listen, Lincoln Riley is an elite playcaller. Great OC. Great QB coach. But he struggled as a HC. Facts are facts. The program, although recruiting got better and better, statistically got worse and worse. He got rid of Jerry Schmidt and pushed him out. Not a surprise when aTm got him they were competing with Bama shortly after. Riley brought in the king of P90X and OU's OL/DL was getting pushed around more and more the further away from Bob Stoops's/Jerry Schmidt's era we got. I think that's been fixed by hiring JS back. Let me leave you with this so you can understand how ridiculous OU's S&C was under Lincoln Riley(and likely still is at USC). We didn't have 1. I repeat, NOT one OL that could bench over 300 prior to BV joining last year. They looked really fit. They were agile as all get-out, but they were NOT strong. Think back to guy's like Orlando Brown when they went to Pro Day. I think he had 16 reps at 225 or something. Was ridiculous. And embarrassing. That's because of the S&C program. OU was getting worse and worse under Riley. The only saving grace was his elite QBs. It's the ONLY thing that kept OU going. BV didn't even have that as OU had to completely rebuild the QB room(not a scholarship guy remained when Lincoln left).
Why is nobody talking about how good Oklahoma was in the bowl game against Florida state, Florida state was supposed to be really good top 10. Team and OU almost won that game and thay had all There starters and we did not

3:02 Well, 90-something out of 123 players weren't at OU before he arrived, so yeah I'd say he really tore it down and started from as close to scratch as you could get.
Not to mention some of the upgrades and stuff to the current facilities and what-not.
I think Brent Venables is going to be an excellent coach and I'm a Bulldogs fan. The guys been there one year. Give him a chance. In a Power 5 setting it takes 4 to 5 years to turn a program around and become a contendet
As a Sooner fan I totally agree with your comment. I’m super happy to have him as the physical, mental and spiritual head of Norman Oklahoma.
It won’t take nearly that long
They were already a contender when he arrived. Lincoln Riley ring a bell?
It might. Joining the SEC makes it harder and the current 12 team playoff format will give 6 automatic bids to “conference champions”. Like many SEC schools a 1-3 loss OU will get surpassed for about 2-3 of those automatic bids and/or 1 loss teams from lesser conferences.
The SEC expansion will be hurt by this until they remove “automatic bids”.
As a Clemson fan, I missed him the second he left for OU. But that's a top 3 job in college football. I hope he does a fantastic job. Guy barely had half a football team last year after Riley took them all to USC. I agree with giving him 4 years to get his players then see what he creates.
As many players that left OU when Muleshoe left, it was a tall task. I think he will take a large step forward this season.
A minor step. Let's not get ahead.
As a long time OU fan, what often is overlooked by so many when thinking about the 6-7 season of 22 is how OU was on a decline ever since Lincoln Riley took over. Year-after-year, on almost every metric, they were getting worse. There were so many games we almost lost against teams we should have dominated.
Just look at the first game of LR's last season, against the Green Wave of Tulane. OU BARELY squeaked by with a W after struggling all game - that was just the start of a REALLY rough season. LR inherited a great program, drove it into the rocks but bailed before it hit. Coach V took over, hit the rocks but sees exactly what to change, how to change it and has the right approach.
It's only a matter of time before everyone else learns what we Oklahoman's already know. Coach V is going to be a legendary Head Coach!!
What a load of BS. Lincoln Riley just wasn't enough of a hick for the trash segment of the OK fan base. That, and he left. Inferiority complexes can cause a fury. You can cherry pick individual games, but the fact remains that Stoops last five years he went 51-14. Riley went 55-10. None of that says anything about Venables. He deserves some slack as a first time head coach in the first season, but it has nothing to do with a "decline ever since LR took over."
@echt114 you instantly going to the insults shows you weren't paying attention during his 5 year Tenure at OU. Sure you can look at 55-10 on paper, but did you watch every game from 2017 to 2021 in their entirety?
@@echt1142022 OU was the same as 2021 OU minus one big factor; Caleb Williams. Something tells me you didn’t watch any of OU’s 2021 season. Us fans were not satisfied. We were undefeated and kept slipping in the polls because people saw that the team wasn’t very good. Lots of close wins against much inferior teams. TBOW definitely caused this mess and BV is trying to clean it up.
@@echt114 you're so full of it your eyes are brown. That kind of nasty, degrading bigotry about anyone makes people vomit. Haven't you got any manners at all? Muleshoe was just as hick and red behind the neck as anyone. You make him sound like a silk stocking top-hat wearing fancy pimp from New Orleans. He's a jake-leg from the sticks... Muleshoe, Texas is right in the middle of nowhere.
The man didn't know any of his defensive players except probably by the number on the kid's jersey. No, TBOW tried to sell that manure that he had learned of the "opening" after the game when in fact his agent had been talking to the University of Spoiled Children from the day they fired their head coach.
Muleshoe will fit right in with USC; all bluster and flash, but not prepared to play smash-mouth football with a team like Utah.
A man has the right to change jobs; it's how he does it that reveals whether he has any class or not. Muleshoe raided the Sooners, probably negotiated with the Trojans that he could package his recruits and take them with him. That's being a real scumbag. Not only sneak away in the dark before anyone sees him, but he strips the program of key players to feather his nest out west. That's about as low rent as a man can get. Muleshoe's not a man of his word. You got to watch a guy like that because he's the type that cheats at cards.
@@echt114 You're only looking at w-l record to make your point - that's really not an intelligent method at all.
I'm an OU fan, but I absolutely love him. HONEST, intense, as high energy as they come. Great recruiter. And yes, under some heat but recruiting right now better than OU has recruited in years. His staff seem, SEEM to be very good evaluators. Needs to learn to be more succinct. But anyway, he'll remain a favorite of mine even if he dosen't make it. The issue at OU has been, for awhile a toxic, underachieving culture on defense. Go back and just watch the film. Not just lack of talent, but a real lack of effort. OU will be MUCH better this year. Particularly on D. I'd be willing to bet on him.
Couldn't agree more BOOMER!!
If you look at the big picture OU had been getting worse every year since Bob left and last year was a firestorm I expect a different year this year BV will be ok just look at the recruiting the last two years I wonder what he can do when they begin to win
Mizzou fan here. I would rather have a defensive minded coach over a offensive minded one. I think the Oklahoma coach will do just fine. He is recruiting well. Oklahoma always recruits good because they are Oklahoma. Name recognition works. Vaughn

I'm not an OU fan but I like BV. I think they will do well with him. in the future. Last year was tough for them. Luckily this year they have a weak schedule. I think they win 9 games this year.
It’s way too early to tell. So far I’ve been happy with what he’s been able to do with the roster turnover and transfer portal. Recruiting is actually a lot better and more well rounded than I remember it being over the years. I’m ready for a solid defense again. I think it’s coming
Life long fan of Oklahoma born and raised live 30 min from Norman I believe in BV and think he going do great things at Oklahoma and the people who have said they given up on him are the casuals BOOMER!!
No fair weather OU fan here. Sooner born Sooner breed when I die I will be Sooner DEAD!!
BV has 91 new and different players than he did the day he stepped off the plain in Norman. 63 this year. He stated soon after he arrived the whole thing was coming down to the foundation. This may be his first HC job but he has been preparing for it under the tutelage of 3 great coaches in the past. BOOMER.
I am glad, you made this video. That is what my son and I thought from day one. I like LR, but my son didn’t (after week 2 or 3 of his last season) for whatever reason he want to fire him immediately and start with the growing pains. I think BV is going to be OK.

Thanks for covering the Sooners bro
Venables showed you last year exactly what kind of program TBOW was running at OU. It was a program with no depth and persistent elite QB play saving the day. This time when our young 5 star gets his first starts, he won't have to score every single possession of his entire career, or lose the game, like TBOWs QBs had to do.
Always felt bad for Riley's QBs. They had to play the best game of their life every single game because his defense is soooo bad. Generational talent and has zero bowl wins. Lincoln Riley has 1 bowl win his entire career and it was against half a Florida team in a bad bowl. Venables even told us this week players weren't even going to class. Crazy stuff.
@@TheBenzwanger I have always thought that Riley really should be an NFL coach because he is good at using talent but lousy at developing it.
Look at how the only true Riley recruit QB panned out for OU.
We are fine. He is doing what i hoped he would as far as getting top defensive talent and that is what we need to win
I didn't want it to be true, but Venables really did have to rebuild the progrsm from scratch. Venables said during media days that 97 of the 123 players on Oklahoma's roster now are in their 1st or 2nd year with the program. That is 78.9% of the players that were not there in 2021. That is Deion at Colorado type of numbers, it just took 2 years instead of 1.
I also have all of the confidence in him, but progress needs to be demonstrated. With as terrible and easy as this schedule is, anything less than 9 wins is cause for serious concern.
Looking forward to this upcoming season and hope you can find reason to come to an Oklahoma game this year.
Anything less than 11 wins will be a disappointment
@@sonofthesOUth77 Normally I would agree with you, but last year shook my confidence like it did for a lot of other people. I'll set the bar a bit lower this time around, and evaluate from there.
@@sonofthesOUth77No, it wouldn't. Lol
@@sonofthesOUth77 I think 9 wins is the total here, for me at least. Obviously want 11 wins but this is a total rebuild so I have to be realistic with my expectations.
Venables has the hardest job in college football. He's got championship expectations from fans, had his roster gutted from the previous coach (including the eventual Heisman winner), starting QB was hurt, and now he's heading to the SEC in a year.
I’m all in on BV, what he is doing and bringing to the table at Oklahoma is going to be awesome to watch and enjoy. Last year was a mess and he was able to get a good recruiting class. He is getting a great class so far this yr. Kids are one year in the system and can now help the new guys. Things will be better each year going forward in my opinion. Boomer Sooner!!!!!! And I’m excited to be going to the SEC!!!
You have to give a coach at least 4 years to allow him to get the guys he recruited. He wasn’t able to get a full year of recruiting in his first year. However, he has to improve within those 4 years.
Transfer portal has shortened that timeframe
@@benstrickland4921 I don’t agree. There is limited time to evaluate players that enter the portal. Whereas you have years to evaluate recruits.
@@TheOff1ceFan portal players have college-level tape. At a minimum, you can tell if guys are able to compete at that level. Tennessee completely flipped in just 2 years
@@benstrickland4921 that’s not necessarily true either. There is a lot of portal players that didn’t get to see the playing field and that’s why they are in the portal. Also, Tennessee got fined 8 million and is now on a 5 year probation. Not the example I would have gone with.
@@TheOff1ceFan Tennessee’s penalty has nothing to do with the fact the transfer portal was a big part in making them a borderline playoff team. My whole point is the transfer portal gives you an instant chance to flip your team in way less than 4 years. You can plug holes instantly rather than waiting on a high school kid to develop for 2-3 years
I’m a diehard Clemson fan. I want to see him succeed at OU. Will it be overnight success? I don’t think so. I hope I’m wrong though
Coach BV will bring some attitude to OU. He did GREAT things for Clemson's defense through the years and has proven himself on that side of the ball. Under Riley, their defense couldn't stop a runny nose. Hes got to get his guys and completely change this idea of winning games 52-49 then get shutdown in the CFP. Remember Lincoln Riley was already the coach in waiting before Stoops left, so he already had the opportunity to get some of the guys he wanted and spread his message.
Stoops' defenses couldn't stop anybody when Riley was the offensive coordinator, lol.
Honestly, if this recruiting class pops like it could. It may be some of the best recruiting since Switzer was wearing red bike shorts at practice. BOOMER

people see 6-7 and just say OKLAHOMA AND BRENT VENABLES WONT WORK. it needs context. first off theres no fault in losing to TCU last year. that was a VERY good football team. also losing to texas was not as bad as it seems because we didnt have our starting QB, and we didnt have a competent backup. also our defense was pretty good in spurts. why was in spurts and not all the time? Because we lacked depth on the defensive side of the ball. we were getting gassed by the 4th quarter and thats why we lost so many leads. brent made some coaching mistakes like leaving some freshman out because they didnt know the complex play book yet. it was a bad situation, that being said we were 12 points away from being 10-2. i know most sooners fan remember this, but why do you think oklahoma wasnt opening the playbook hardly at all until week 4? Because no one knew the playbook. everyone was talking about why they didnt open the playbook that much. now we know. it all makes sense looking back at it now. fast foward to now, ive heard multiple players say top 5 defense. if that happens, that would be the biggest turnaround ever.
He’s going to build a dynasty. Just watch
Never judge a Coach on year one. However if he has another bad year I think that fan base turns on him quick. Not saying anything negative about Oklahoma fanbase though. It is just Veneables first time as a head coach. If he fails 2 years in a row with all those resources it would be hard not to question his ability as a head coach.
Naw We RIDE AND DIE WITH BV👍🏿 You don't know TRUE SOONER FANS👍🏿👌🏿
Until proven otherwise I will believe in Coach Venables. He was handed a gutted roster and a defense built by "he who must not be named" and his DC. This defense will look a lot more like a Venables defense than last years did. The offense just needs to keep production at a high level, which they did when Gabriel was healthy, and we can put together a lot better season than last year. In fact I will say that we have the capability to go undefeated this year, not saying we will but we have that capability, just got to have some luck and guys that put it all together. I'm ready for the season to begin, GO SOONERS!
Brent will be fine. He needs to make good hires like anyone else would. He may need to make a change at D Coordinator but he has some good young coaches. They recruit well also.
BV is going to be fine. I remember when Stoops came to OU in 99. Everyone had the same hesitation even though at the time we were terrible as a program. People are spoiled, especially OU fans since 2000. We've won a ton for 22 years straight.
Different circumstance, OU was basically coming off a decade of mediocrity. Also the landscape had changed dramatically.
@@melroze sound like a spoiled OU fan...get your pacifier and let BV will take care of you.
Oklahoma fan here. I wrote off last season because of what he came into. The rush to make a recruiting class, the rush to get together a coaching staff, those 2 things were big indicators the 22 season wasn't going to go well. But we honestly did better than I expected because our losses other than Texas were close. This year, he has his guys, but most of the roster that he saught is 1st and 2nd year guys. I think we will do well, but a playoff spot is a dream, I believe. Next year, 24 with his guys having a year under their belt, I think OU will be incredible entering the SEC.
the tearing stuff down i think is accurate there were alot of guys that left that were required to meet a 1 year how Plan he even explained it on media day its a score on how to act how to perform in school and off the field Brent has said it before and he said those that failed to follow that 1 year grace plan when a year was up were shown the door and were rehomed i think as he put it and thats part of the reason all those players have left in the off season.Big takeaway also was him talking about Stutsman able to be leading a players led practice when last year he couldnt do that so i think there was just alot of underpepared parts of the whole team
I am a Brent Venables guy because 1. A down to earth person 2. Ask Brent a question you get an honest answer. 3. How about OU vs TEXAS in the FINAL BIG 12 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME for both teams and before games end both fan bases chant SEC SEC SEC. 4. Watch the 2023-2024 recruits signing 5.

BV is going to be just fine. He’s got a great staff, recruiting great, experience previously at OU, and made Clemson defense best or as good as anyone in the nation. 2023 will be much better than 2022, I can already tell, Sooners are well on their way now!
I love Brent always have. Attended my first game in 1999
Venables is going to soar at OU. He's got the right mindset and ability to do great things there, and his focus on developing the students not only to be great football players, but to be great humans is something that I'm glad to see after the last guy we had.
It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks. There are people that think Nick Saban will never win another title. People like that aren't relevant.
BV accepted a challenge. LR bolted taking some of the best players. OU’s defense had slipped under LR. BV encountered injuries last year. 8-5 to 10-3 would be an improvement. I blame LR for BV’s rebuilding mode.
Fact... Last year was Linkys year.
As a Huge SOONER Fan, I like Brent as a person. I believe that he has the ability to be a great Head Coach. He has to prove it though. He's on extremely thin ice with me right now but I'm rooting for him obviously. But I'm tired of people saying that he didn't have good players. OU had good players, just a lot of them didn't get a chance to see the field. This year should be completely different. And OU better beat texass
As a Texas fan that lives in norman. And has since BV was here. This dude is OU built and the people believe.
And shame on whatever media outlet is pulling the race card on him. Dude is as real as they get.
The players that left the program with the exception of C Williams didn’t belong at a D1 program as evidenced by the outgoing portal players ending up D2
It’s going to take 3-5 years to see BV complete team and system. Speaking to the current players though BV has made some great moves. Looking at recruiting things look great as well. Only time will tell though but I think BV will be a great HC.
In Brent we trust. We know who he is and all about. We don’t care about who thinks what and his name starts with a B. Lol
IN BRENT WE TRUST ✊🏿
It’s bizarre to me the amount of people who believe a guy who couldn’t even get his calls in on time and blames his players for that is going to succeed. Don’t know how any parent in the country would want the kid to play for someone like that in a Fanbase, like that boos their own starting quarterback at home. OU is The most delusionally arrogant Fanbase in the country.
I get so sick of hearing Texas fans yell out 49-0. I get it, it was a huge win for you guys over your biggest rival (presently). Truth be told, our quarterback was concussed from a dirty hit the previous week and our backups were so bad we marched out the wildcat with our TE as QB thinking that was our best shot to win that game. That's how depleted our roster was and how we had zero backup plan for when/if DG got hurt. I think BV is going to be just fine and I think this year you will see big strides out of the program.
Those are the clueless children that conveniently forgot about the 64-13 beat down that was theirs to bear. What comes around goes around and the payback is likely to be epic.
I'ma Oklahoma fan and I hope your right
Awesome coach! Give him time!
I completely agree with your assessment about fans of a team. If my team hires an assistant coach from a different team, and that team’s fans are super sad about it, I know it was a good hire.
Great dialog. Seems like he is building a quality program but got creamede a few games last year. New territory for OU. He has been a great coordinator and will get it done given a bit of time. Recruiting well and dont see any smoke and flames yet. He will get it done. Hookem
Wishy washy bandwagon fans aren’t in this for the long haul, those in the know and follow college football understand that this would take time. In bv we trust we’re gonna be the same ou as always and better even, we’re gonna have some dawgs on that defense that’s gonna shock some people because they forget that ou had traditionally been a run first defensive juggernaut. Short memories thinking that tbow was anything other than a splash in the pan. Now we’re really cooking and people will learn to remember that ou is the juggernaut that it’s always been.
Physical. Punishing. Relentless. Suffocating DEFENSE
OU & Venables is recruiting much better than most expected but I think still when watching him operate, he still comes across as a DC and not a HC.
I think as long as he doesn’t have a bad season this year (they won’t with such a cupcake schedule), he can slowly develop into more of a HC and not a DC thrust into a HC position.
OU this year is hard to figure out as they again will struggle on both LOS with an average OL (likely worse) and similar average at best DL. Against teams like Texas (OL & DL), KSU (OL), Kansas (OL), & maybe TT (DL) they will likely struggle to varying degrees.
No crystal ball here, but I hope he’s successful! He seems like a great person who truly wants what’s best for his Players.
Watching this after going to the game today. I say we are still a year away from making some real noise. The offense needs some more work defense we will see against SMU next week.
I’m at the 5:54 mark, so maybe you’re about to comment on this…but add to this Low Country Boil of crappy circumstances the fact that they’re hurtling headfirst into the meat grinder known as the SEC. Not just referring to the products on the field but EVERYTHING has to be ramped up. I think he’ll do ok. Heck, Kirby lost to Vandy and Tech his first year and now look.
Last year was year 0 for OU. It's commendable. BV-s tenure starts now. And will be full face next year. I think he will be there. They are already kicking down Lincolns recruiting classes at OU. Hook em.
I believe in BV
Josh did you play high school 🏈 in east TX?
I look back at the schedule and I see five of those games out of seven we should have won three of them were walk-off field goals with and the other two by less than a touchdown... Not to mention people have watched every game and realize that Oklahoma played 600 and some consecutive snaps in a row without the other team getting a holding call when you can call holding on every down for either team... But yet I've seen Oklahoma get several touchdown called back in several of those games we lost as well because of a holding call but yet the other team never got one... Without all that b******* corruption I believe Oklahoma would have been 10-2 or at worse 9-3...
I agree 💯
The D was a complete rebuild, he gave it the year to see what he had rather than just unload everyone. Some of the young talent on both sides followed LR to USC while the draft eligible leaders took to the NFL. Lebby's style of O play calling won't last (watch Latrel former UNT coach currently a special assistant and alumni slip in there in 2025 at OC) . Brent will be successful setting them up to compete for titles again very soon.
Here is where we find out how many remember the 90s and OU Football. That was close to 8+ years of rebuilding. :)
I'm one of those that remember. Gibbs, Schnellenberger, Blake. Gibbs' record was not too bad, but the last two...ugh.

BV's first year at OU reminded me of Charlie Strong's first year at Texas. I'm a Longhorn fan and I kept defending Strong thru 3 losing seasons. We'll see what happens. I hope I'm right.
I believe BV can be the guy for the job. Too many people quick to jump ship when it doesnt go their way. We had a big decline in players last year. With this new season the d-line should be improved and able to understand BVs scheme on d. I'm not writing them off
Verily I voice that Venables is vulnerable and vexed like Vanderbilt. 🤪
Coach Venables is still working it. He has weeded out some of the Riley Era bench riders for players that want to grind and compete for playing time. The defence will be stronger and in better condition to compete for 4 quarters. The offense will score roughly 30 points a game(give or take) if they can get the ball 3-5 more times a game 40+ points a game is not out of the question. BOOMER SOONER
Living in South Carolina, I am All in on Brent Venables. Do not look forward to going to the Palace on the Prairie next year to play them.....
I tend to believe what Rod Babers thought on the subject. That he could be a great coach but the chances of Oklahoma having three consecutive Hall of Fame coaches is not that likely. Is it possible, absolutely. A great program like OU may just hit home runs with every coaching search. But across all sports, 3 all time great head coaches in a row is extremely rare to say the least. I don’t think anyone should pass judgment off of the first year though, this upcoming season will tell you everything you need to know.
Sooner all the way ‼️
Both high profile quarterbacks transferred to USC prior to Venables getting there.
And there was a qb hurt last year. Most games lost by 1 score. Still a very good offense. I really wasn’t too upset with last years performance considering all the challenges. OU was the better team agains FSU too which was very encouraging
Thanks for being realistic and giving your honest opinion because that’s exactly what happened. Riley sabotaged OU and BV has had to pick up the pieces and start all over.
How did both QBs transfer to USC? Malaki was still in High school and NO our starting QB didn't transfer until after BV was here, he tried to hang around long enough to ruin OUs chances at recruiting another QB out of the portal. He was talking to Riley the whole time though, even before entering the portal. That's how much of a cheat Riley is.
So you have no idea what happened.
@@stinkasscat yep, tbow and Riley were caught in a limo riding together back after the Bedlam game. Everything was planned to sabotage OU.
@@stinkasscat Calab Williams transferred to the University of Southern Cal, Spenser Rattler transferred to the University of South Carolina. Both are called USC.
The common college football fan, has NO IDEA of what it takes to win at this level and to win consistently is really a small miracle. Most fans are unaware of all the ingredients it takes to put a successful product on the field. I have a GREAT APPRECIATION for programs that are successful. Now, SUCCESS is subjective, depending on what program someone is speaking of. This was a GREAT SHOW, and the fact that you are able to explain ANY PROGRAM can go through what Oklahoma went through last season, was a breath of fresh air. The intricacies of D1 college football, are literally like the parts of the human body. Each has a specific job to benefit the entire body/PROGRAM.
If I'm not mistaken, what was Nick S. First year at at Alabama like, didn't he go like 7 and 6 and look where he is today . The first year he had to pretty much take over Lincoln Riley awful defense , and we all know he could care less about defensive side of the ball. People need to understand that he needs time to get his recruit's in

Year 3 OU will be competitive. 4-6 years they will be in the running for the division. Sec title? Dunno about that. *fingers crossed*
We love Brent. He was a first time headcoach last year inheriting a bad football team that TBOW left.
He played for Bill Snyder. He started his coaching career under Bill Snyder. Those two facts, along with his track record at Clemson make me think that I'm not going to count him out just yet.
I like BV but some of those in-game coaching decisions were bad last season. I hope he can be our guy.

Keep on underestimating them. Please.
OU rep here! We will be just fine. Games are won in the trenches. Championships are won off defenses. Two things that are greatly improving under Coach Venables.

Why has no one commented or done a video on the differences between a coordinator and a head coach. BV will always be a defensive coordinator. Unlikely to place himself with the ranks of Lincoln Riley and other great coaches.
Ole Brent done messed up talking crap about Mario. No more south Florida recruiting for ou
I mean he’s already stole 4 recruits head to head vs. Mario and he’s about to steal David Stone (top 5 overall player in the country) out of IMG. So far Brent owns Miami.
Hilarious
Jayden Jackson ringing any bells?
All in on BV. OU has won by a bigger margin against Texas than the shut out last year.
What would be his reason for throwing shade at Miami?
Miami and OU have been battling head to head last two standing for 4 recruits so far and OU won those battles. They are also in a battle for David Stone (top 5 DL in the country) right now. Miami has spent their entire time talking trash about BV and OU to these recruits during their entire visits at Miami rather than talking about their own program so BV was just throwing shade back at Miami for all the crap they have been saying and telling recruits.
@@hotcarl3854it's good to see there are some fans out there like you that know the real story. All these idiots talking about media days have no idea about anything, they just throw things at the wall hoping they will stick. I think the fact that Mario didn't catch as much flak for a bad first season might play part in it also. They just throw money at players to recruit.

Love your sly “Office” allusions.
I think Brent will be good not great, but this season is crucial. He isn’t under normal circumstances. Minimum of 9 wins is almost needed to carry momentum into the sec. It’s a hell of a job they asked him to do when hiring him, should’ve expected last year after Riley. Need to see an improvement. Don’t matter if it is not his guys, they’ve had a year in his system and he brought a lot of guys in. Need a tangible defense this year, top 35
Listen, Lincoln Riley is an elite playcaller. Great OC. Great QB coach. But he struggled as a HC. Facts are facts. The program, although recruiting got better and better, statistically got worse and worse. He got rid of Jerry Schmidt and pushed him out. Not a surprise when aTm got him they were competing with Bama shortly after. Riley brought in the king of P90X and OU's OL/DL was getting pushed around more and more the further away from Bob Stoops's/Jerry Schmidt's era we got. I think that's been fixed by hiring JS back. Let me leave you with this so you can understand how ridiculous OU's S&C was under Lincoln Riley(and likely still is at USC). We didn't have 1. I repeat, NOT one OL that could bench over 300 prior to BV joining last year. They looked really fit. They were agile as all get-out, but they were NOT strong. Think back to guy's like Orlando Brown when they went to Pro Day. I think he had 16 reps at 225 or something. Was ridiculous. And embarrassing. That's because of the S&C program. OU was getting worse and worse under Riley. The only saving grace was his elite QBs. It's the ONLY thing that kept OU going. BV didn't even have that as OU had to completely rebuild the QB room(not a scholarship guy remained when Lincoln left).
$64,000 question: Will Venables be a really good head coach?
That has yet to be proved. Some coordinators make good ones - And many don't.
