Brent Venables NSD presser

[@ronchappell216]

I’m a Clemson guy - and I already miss BV. We’re proud of him and you picked up a bunch of new OU fans over here in the Carolinas. Wishing him all the best. These days it is so good to see character matter.

[@uxpo]

Sooner fan my whole life...but I have to admit that I watched a lot of Clemson games this past decade because of Coach V. His passion for the game is contagious. From the opening kickoff until the final seconds tick off the clock, he is the most intense guy in the stadium. Always room for new Fans. Boomer!

[@thefujitafive1820]

We are rooting for y’all as well! Dabo is a once in a lifetime type of coach, he’s wonderful and he has completely impacted BV in the most important ways. Thank you all for loving Brent and further developing him into his best version! I hope and pray for your program every day that it comes out of its own rough patch this month.

[@Cartier_specialist]

Welcome new fan.

I. Love. This. Guy. BOOMER. SOONER.

[@johnnydangerously7186]

I want to congratulate Joe C and President Harroz for their outstanding work and judgment in getting such a quality Coach like Venables!

[@armpwm7913]

So impressive. I think we are fortunate to have a man like Brent Venables to lead this program. He has so much character. No question that he has had some great mentors in Coach's Snyder, Stoops, and Swinney. What a great group.

[@charlesorso9578]

EXCITED is a understatement Brent Venables is the man

[@stevespradlin6349]

I think Brent is the man he has stoops and switzer dna.development is important ln players

[@robertcurl1160]

Lincoln WHO?

[@loktors]

This guy represents the character and eye of Wilkinson, the cleverness of smart coaching and unbelievable recruiting of Switzer , AND, the toughness,straight forwardness of stoops. It’s very simple football world.. great players will want to play for him!

[@susanbritton5412]

This coach is a Class Act!!! So happy to have him in Oklahoma!!! Young men will be men when they graduate OU !!! Making Men out of Young Men!! Boomer Boomer Sooner Sooner!!!!!

[@BobWabbat]

Great speech from a great coach. We are blessed to have him in the Sooner family

[@jeffccr3620]

Finally a real coach and not someone blowing fluff

[@chadbaxter22]

So glad we have Brent I’m super excited about our future. Having him I’m not worried about going to the sec. I also hope we keep an open mind as sooner fans that if hit some bumps in the road we stay patient

[@jaylawson1432]

Very refreshing to hear BV speak. Feels like he is here in person speaking to each of us.

[@SNERFAN]

And he speaks clearly not in riddles or misdirection

[@stevespradlin6349]

You sell a product but you sell a family like coach switzer did in the early 70 s he walkinto the selmon home in Eufaula ok earned the trust of the home town trust and recruited the best defensive linemen on the country. Amen

[@marshallsmith8975]

A class act! You can tell that he’s learned from the best.

[@yourdadisproud]

I feel like Venables will be able to get through to these players. He has me excited about OU in a way that Riley never did, you can tell BV cares and Riley was clearly in it for the checks.

[@tb1235]

He's honest, something I rarely saw with Riley.

[@DigitalChillz]

Maybe not checks per say… but definitely CLOUT‼️ We are not a stepping stone! #OUDNA #SOONERNATION

[@MJ-pk4gh]

He's a great coach and he's bringing all knowledge that he gained in the last 10 years back to OU. Unfortunately, Riley is not a real deal coach, never really was and never will be. He kinda just ran Mike Leach's playbook and got an overblown reputation because he lucked his way into Mayfield, Murray, and Hurts. That was his claim to fame but it got us nowhere because we played soft, finesse football. That shit is over now with Brent back and were gonna win again.

[@jaymurray5545]

Thanks John Hoover. I just want to say that I love everything about coach Venables. Listening to him speak just calms all negative emotions that we all felt a couple of weeks ago. Definitely the Right hire…Boomer Sooner!

[@gregglass2422]

Great job Coach!

[@susanbritton5412]

Thank You God for bringing BV to OU!!!! ❤️

[@Cartier_specialist]

I don't believe the OU Football program could be in any better hands than Brent Venables. I truly believe the OU Football Program just leveled up.

[@sheilasmith5992]

Love our coach!

[@Im_Old_Gregg]

While I would love to have some of those Clemson commits it says a lot about coach Venables that he chose not to pursue them. Building a reputation of having that kind of character will get you further than a few recruits.

[@ekojar3047]

That's what real men do.

[@gincain7988]

I know it must be hard but the right thing to do.

[@zrod6348]

You’re right.

[@SNERFAN]

BV is a man of integrity and loyalty which says alot about the man in this day of coaches

[@SNERFAN]

But man that kanak kid would be amazing

[@thefujitafive1820]

The values that Venables promotes and requires makes me so confident in our program as a whole.

[@garyhughes9649]

It's incredibly good to have Coach venables back home. It's easy to determine he has a lot of integrity and honesty which is almost non-existent in today's world. He and his staff have been working their butts off it sounds like and I think the sooner family means much more to him and the last guy that was OU's head coach. I wish coach venables and the sooner team a magnificent future and major props to coach Stoops for all his efforts

[@Based_God333]

Seems like a cool guy, excited

[@billyburks2536]

Damn he answered every question perfectly! BOOMER!!!

Hahahaha I love all the shade he’s throwing at Lincoln and all those recruits that went with him.

[@claytongoinsgtministries3669]

I'm thankful that coach V. Has a relationship with God now and that he's NOT ashamed to share it! This next year has got me more excited to see the Sooners, push some teams around and enforce their will on EVERY team! Shmitty is THE MAN just like coach V!

[@taatrs]

[@dr.reviewsfrompersonalexpe7603]

He hasn’t done anything yet, while the idea of him coming in an saving the day is easy to embrace right now, I know that there is gonna me many bumps in the road ahead and the honeymoon at ou is gonna be short lived.

[@DMWolFGurL]

I have high hopes for the upcoming season and I am excited for the future of the program. Such a great conference, I love his humility and his knowledge of the game and his great insight. I love how the last guy actually addressed him as coach, I was getting annoyed at the others just calling him by his first name. But that's just my personal opinion, nothing to get hung up on and I know he wasn't, anyway, BOOMER SOONER!!

[@debbecooper104]

We are going to build the best team we've ever had, no weak. Parts, ....strong on defense, offense special teams. We are going to be team ,that breaks all kinds of records.....I'm so proud, that coach Venables, cares so much.....Go BOOMER SOONER!!!

[@wademarquardt5296]

While we could have used some of those Clemson recruits, it’s refreshing that we have a guy that feels poaching Coach Sweeney wouldn’t be the right thing to do. It may cost us 3-5 good players, but that pales to the sense of honor and decency on display. Coach Stoops is about doing things the right way, and Coach Venables is the same way. Character matters at the end of the day. I think we have the right guy for Oklahoma. I’m the most excited I have been since guys named Baker and Kyler roamed the campus.

[@SNERFAN]

A coach like BV is rare in these days of coaches just goes to show how good of a man he is... a man of integrity, with good morals, and the upmost loyalty 👏 👏 👏

[@robertcurl1160]

Hopefully we have our next 20 year coach and bringing us some Natty's! I agree this man has more integrity than the prior coach and he surely gets the most from his players.

Riley didn't even have to go after those kids, he already had the little fruitcakes loyalty. They would've followed him to Tulane, it wouldn't have mattered. Sucks for them though because they'll never compete at the highest level. They'll be soft players playing for a soft coach, and they'll all be trying to live off what Pete Carroll, Leinart, and Bush did.

Not being honest.

@DiamondEyeDesigns Thought had a more technical definition. I figured it wasn't good by it's use.

[@SNERFAN]

He's talking about how coaches send out 160 scholarships and then once they get their guys tell them we don't have room for you ... so in all honesty they were only getting a scholarship if they couldn't find anyone better... so not being honest or transparent
