Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables explains how the Sooners are improving in year two

[@numberonecfbshow]

What are your expectations for Oklahoma next season?

[@anthonyzeno7123]

They'll score at least 10 points against Texas in another Blow out loss

[@dongato77]

A better game against Texas and winning the 3 close games we lost last year.

[@amazingj3868]

Big 12 championship. Playoffs 🤨🏆

[@joshhelberg]

10 and 2

[@bbqbros3648]

I was gonna say 9 wins but honestly- if our spring game is any indication we could win the B12. Defense looks so good- and it's just the start. Offense needs some help - lot of drops from WRs. I think starting O line players were gone. RBs weren't too impressive.. But its always hardest for the offense in spring games so I think if we marginally improve from last year on offense- then we should be in good shape.

I love having this manner as our head coach but when he was hired I questioned his success at OU because it was not only him but it was also Mike stoops and I felt our defense was a little bit above mediocre but what he has done is so far and with his refruiting I think we are on the path of greatness

[@InformalGreeting]

I got to know coach pretty well during his first turn on the Oklahoma staff. One of the most intense people between the lines that you'll ever see. I can still remember him losing his mind on a Butkis award winner screaming NO FALSE STEPS over and over and over! But it would be just about as difficult to find a coach that cares more about his players. He demands perfection but he demands it because that's how the young men grow into the men they will be for the rest of their lives. And that is why he has been so successful and why he will continue to have success. The Big 12 better be on notice. That defense will look better than it has since he and Mike ran it together. They'll be physical, they'll be sound on their assignments, and they'll put it all on the line for him. It's been a while but this year the question is whether the offense can do their part.

[@joelledbetter2926]

Idk how you can listen to this guy and not agree with everything he is saying. Excellence isn't common or easy or it wouldn't be so valuable

[@raydillman7142]

I'm so glad BV is our coach. I stopped being a season ticket holder when Lincoln was coach. He's not a bad dude, but I hated seeing OU being soft and could not spend money on supporting a program that only focused on QB play...that's not football. When BV was hired, I immediately became a season ticket holder again. He will get OU back to being a tough-minded team.

[@bluecollarballers7315]

[@5thGenOBSBronco]

As a Texas fan, I think that Oklahoma is going into period of the equivalent to a rebuild in the NFL. Longhorns went through it and I believe we are finally starting to exit that long process, which took 3 coaching staffs. Teams can only be great over a long period of time for so long, before this process hits everyone's team. Question is, how fast can this Coach steer the ship back in the right direction? Only time will tell, I can't say I wish the Sooners greatness as our arch nemesis, but I do wish their team great health and safety on the field. College Football is is way better when teams like Texas and Oklahoma are running on all cylinders. See you in October, Hook'em!

[@DMWolFGurL]

I do believe that Oklahoma is going through a rebuild, and unless you are blind, of course they are! They lost their head coach, that took half their team and recruits. So yes they are going through a rebuild.

Football has been just fine with Texas being mediocre and I suspect that mediocrity will continue for UT in accordance to recent history of the past decade. 👍

[@theknowitall4090]

Jimmy Johnson used to say football is played in pads and involves hitting. I understand I am going to lose 2 maybe 3 guys in the preseason but you can't practice in shorts and play in pads. Venables just needs to keep doing what he's doing.

RJ the 🐐

[@FiresideEst2016]

Dude his mindset is GOATED I mean he said: "Am I willing to give what it takes to win!" Bruh! I know the team will think last season was not the standard for the Sooners in Norman. I'm calling it now, the Oklahoma Sooners will win 10 games this coming season! The team is not used to how BV thinks because he is not like Riley. Riley wanted good players but BV wants a player who wants to play football and will win! Plus BV has never been a HC and everyone is adapting!! This was a building year. 23-24 will be a 10-2 season!!

[@Vayne207]

I love coach venables attitude and I think he’s going to do great here in Oklahoma. He’s passionate, he’s experienced and he has a great standard for excellence. That’s more than 90% of coaches out there. But my god. If I was in the locker room and I heard a 10 page essay every time somebody had a question or was being given a lecture on our standards. It would get old fast. Boil it down man. Give me what you think precisely. I imagine it also makes motivational speeches pretty redundant. Everything’s a motivational speech. Again. Love the guy. He’s gonna do great things here. I just think he needs to work on his speaking skills.

[@KennethSullivan-et8mj]

That was by far the exact leader mentor and developer of excellence that Joe and our Oklahoma University president made a promise to search for the next winner when they boarded our University Jet and disappeared in the search of exactly what Bob Stoops promised Sooner Nation when he made the statement of what we all needed to be told. No one man is going to ever be bigger then what the standards of what we have built here at the university of Oklahoma. Then when our leadership headed by the president and the greatest AD to ever lead any one Universitys sports programs promised and was exactly what we as fans may had forgotten for maybe a few days. Joe Castiglion told us all we will find our guy. When Coach Venables come flying out of that OU jet I promise you all to be honest you new right there at that moment just as i did Pres and Big Joe delivered exactly what they promised. Then at the bowl game it became solidified when Coach Stoops took that visor off and totally caught Coach V off guard and passed the visor to the next leader of our almighty God's favorite college football team we new Sooner Magic lives on. And all the rest of college footballs want a bes heads dropped and at the same moment the world new not one man is bigger than Oklahoma football that's what Bob told us. And RJ just presented it to all of the people in the college football world that maybe they are his favorite team. Because what I just saw was a talk from what I now know was from maybe a little help from Tobie at the table talking sooner football. Now every recruits parents in the country want to take there boys and leave them with Coach Venables to be molded into men. Tomorrow we may have to deal with another violation. Tobie Keith is talking Oklahoma Sooner Football with yes the god were not to mention. Lookout all you power 5s just maybe the right Hire! Hell of a job RJ you just roasted alot of blowhards. You may have a violation on the 4peat National Championship Ncaa girls Softball team to. Or RJ it just may be my fault because I just left the world to wonder is The Oklahoma Sooners really God's favorite Programs and yes there will be at least a large number of blowhards thinking about it. Tobie Keith is not on our sideline but he may just be at that table. Makes Sense to me and my family. I'm going to be the one true fan that took the Championships with pride and never walked out when we were the worst. And now I will be talked about forever. Because they will always be thinking about yes Tobie did love his Sooner Girls to. 4 peat. MAKES SENSE TO ME!

[@larrybench6398]

Hey coach Venables, is doing this the right way if you have ever played football then you know the only way to get better is work and then work even harder, yes you should enjoy it, but what better way to enjoy it then to win at it, and there's only one way to do that you have to work hard at what ever you do, we had outstanding defensive teams when he was here before, and if you missed what he done at Clemson, defensively then you must be blind he built a great defensive team there , which everyone in football knows defense wins championships, and he's doing it the right way and it will payoff.

True but he was at Clemson for all of their success. He has developed some defensive freaks. He has the experience to be a head coach but every coach needs the talent.

[@houseontherock8345]

@@jett713 well said. Grinch’s defense hardly required any learning. It was basically a high level high school scheme. Enter BV who runs a scheme that’s difficult by NFL standards. That’s coming from former players who went to the NFL. Outside of experiencing the speed of the college game, last years team was maybe a slight step above freshman experience in terms knowledge of how to play defense as a team. Grinch’s scheme was way too simple. It’s another reason why better than average OC’s with decent talent figure Grinch out so easily. I actually like Grinch’s scheme as it’s foundation, but the guy needs to develop it a lot if he wants to be a top DC some day.
