Oklahoma Sooners Defensive Coach Leaves For West Virginia | Defender Enters Transfer Portal

[@mikehappy2620]

I can't look over the fact Alley did not recruit at all. I don't believe he ever talked to one recruit. Just seems strange to me.

[@Shane4643]

If y'all don't see that having 6 different coodinators in the span of 24 months is a problem and a sign of dysfunction, you are kidding yourself.

[@ricksaunders8074]

So OU is the only school that loses coaches at any level

[@billquantrill4960]

@@ricksaunders8074 Name a top 10 program that has this kind of coordinator turnover?

[@Waggy53]

​@@ricksaunders8074Name another school that has gone through 6 in the last 24 months?

[@Shane4643]

@ricksaunders8074 nope, only the mediocre/average ones and the really, really good ones. Which one does OU fall into atm?

[@ricksaunders8074]

@Shane4643 You know so much you tell us My guess you are a naysayer that has given OU 0 money You just like to criticizing

[@Tommy4Gauge]

The zac alley situation is exactly the same as when Lincoln left made it seem like he was gonna stay but was secretly making a deal with another team

[@ricksaunders8074]

He made that deal in October when he took off a couple days saying he had the flu Lincoln was never a SOONER

[@ChristopherWest-hc3nr]

Making it bigger than it really is

[@billquantrill4960]

Its just more evidence of dysfunction. This is not an ascending program.

[@eightyproofsk8er]

It’s a shit show OU is spiraling

[@colesatterfield166]

I think Alley also wanted to run a 3-3-5 which BV is not to much of a fan of. But it is what it is.

[@SpeedzyWGJK]

Early on BV wanted to use 3 down linemen but we couldn’t land a good nose tackle. Hard to find a good one these days and seems like he gave up on going that route

[@robbymartin4004]

Whoever it is , it’s going to be BV’s defense, they need someone who can run it, that’s already familiar with it. I think you have to go internally.

[@russelledwards6026]

Brent Venables needs to give a State OU Football address to a nervous Sooner Nation.

[@Pierre-wm3xs]

No he doesn't. Just keep rolling he owes no explanations right now just pick up the pieces and get those guys ready for next season

[@seanb.4712]

Bv doesn't need to appease the soft Sooner fanbase with a "State of the Union". Zac Alley was here for 1 year and no one even heard of him before he came from "Jacksonville State". I think the Sooners will persevere. Almost every school is facing the same issues in NIL era.

[@Shane4643]

Yea, everything is normal and just fine. If 6-7 two out of the last three years is normal and fine.

[@BillIAH-p7c]

Pastor Venables is saving souls and losing games.

[@alec_f1]

​@@BillIAH-p7cJohn Blake did the same thing.

[@Quawnn]

We are tied for 16th in total defense

[@seanb.4712]

We needed a 6'7" 255lb Tight End. That is a regular SEC body for blocking.

[@clw22580]

Yeah lets find one from directional state out of D 4

[@seanb.4712]

@clw22580 to me I can't believe having 2 years to prepare for SEC and all we got was 6'3" 235lb tweeners of which 1, Helms has been hurt for what seems like 2 years, Llewellyn left for Texas Tech, 1 just quit, Stogner was terrible, Sharp couldn't block, catch, run or pass and here we are.

[@clw22580]

@@seanb.4712 hard to with an offense that doesn’t utilize the TE a TERRIBLE position coach both crooting and developing + OU hasn’t used a “prototype” te (Andrews was just a big wr) in FOREVER

[@alec_f1]

This fan base is starting to sound like the USC fans after 2 years of Muleshoe and us warning them. They kept saying it's fine as the ship sank also.

[@The_Ghost_In_The_Machine_]

Now THIS is some spin. Come on guys. It’s a bad look for OU.

[@billquantrill4960]

Sunshine pumpers gonna pump some sunshine. Its the same reaction win or lose. Oh and no one should ever be held accountable, it can't be helped or something.

[@bigd7481]

As much as I'd like to say the Sooners are imploding I believe this is just the new normal in college football now. Players and assistant coaches will be bouncing from team to team chasing that dollar and "greener grass".

[@mikesohm4109]

We had TBOW, now we add a TBOE.

[@billquantrill4960]

And the same guy hired both.

[@Pierre-wm3xs]

I truly believe thing's happen for a reason Oklahoma already has a guy in line Defense wins games. Arbuckle will get this offense on track

[@PineMountain981]

Not a notable loss.

[@clw22580]

lol john is that guy on the titanic after it hit the iceberg sitting at the bar like meh just some rough water

[@dennissteele9948]

[@buddysims1366]

looks like a step down but for more money lesson there PAY YOUR COACHES

[@clw22580]

Someone claimed that Carter’s parents were screaming in the stands at the Navy game that he had $500K offers from other schools

[@wokemanishboi5003]

At worst, Brent has to run you defense, which takes him away from a lot of his head coaching duties. At a time when he's fighting to keep his job.

[@billquantrill4960]

He's already f'ed the deal up and will continue to do so, plus it won't matter because OU won't pay him his buyout and pay another coach at the same time.

[@918nate]

They’re definitely NOT changing the D up. All these players know this Defense like the back of their hands.

[@independentinterchange7908]

How do we know if Zach Alley was really coaching the defense? Zach did not recruit any players. The same as bringing in Wes Goodwin. Brent Venables, Todd Bates, Miguel Chavis, Wes Goodwin= Clemson Championship Team!

[@brandonwadley233]

Lewis Carter is the biggest loss for the SOONERS so far in my opinion. Brandon Hall should be the defensive coordinator. He's earned it. If not, then Brent should do it himself

[@StewardSmith-sw5dl]

This is good new offensive coordinator .new quarter backs receivers now defense coordinator gone who wouldn't recruit okay new defensive coordinator new defense totally overhaul yes pressure BV things will get better

[@DerekHunter-q6d]

Alley will be getting plays in late at WVU too. See ya buddy.

[@russelledwards6026]

The grass is greener in West Virginia Gary Gibbs is available.

[@ricksaunders8074]

After almost 30 yrs Gary is still mad why else would he go to osu

[@ricksaunders8074]

He signed a 3 yr contract He owes us money. We would have to pay him if he was fired next season Pay the school today

[@raysmith2477]

Travaris Robinson that’s the guy OU should go out & get from Georgia.

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

I never lost an employee who couldn’t be replaced and with someone who was even better at the job. This isn’t a big problem.

[@mrmrchase1]

It's big when the employees are there for the supervisor you have and he started another business, same as what you do.

[@mrmrchase1]

I bet you never been in that situation 😂

[@TheRealBrotherLance]

It more like loosing a spokesman for you business. The face of the D. So yes we will be okay. Just not a good look for a brand lacking stability right now. But these are growing pains

[@petewilcox3354]

You happy with venebles replacing your last coach??

[@SpeedzyWGJK]

lol what terrible logic

[@JeremyTurpen-s7h]

well I've not given up on Oklahoma even in the 90s from 1988. As a Sooner fan since 1976. 1988 9-3 Citrus Bowl loss Clemson. Barry Switzer last year 1989 7-4 no bowl on probation 1990;8-3 same 1991 9-3 Gator Bowl win Virginia 48-14 1992 5-4-2 1993;9-3 Bowl Win Texas Tech 41-10 1994 6-6 Bowl Loss BYU no QB 31-06 1995 5-5-1 Schnellenberger disaster 1996 3-8 Big 12 new 1997 4-8 1998 5-6 1999 7-5 Loss Independence bowl Ole Miss 25-27 2000 13-0 Win BCS National Title Orange FSU 13-02 1989-93 Had Cale Gundy best QB 1994-98 Eric Moore, Justin Fuente, Garrick McGee, Chad Davis, Brandon Daniels, and others never lived up to offense as 1988-99 Demond Parker, James Allen, Mike Gaddis, Leon Perry, Jerald Moore Seth Littrell, Quentin Griffin and more other no his man but good RBs ​​QB Chris Redmon stayed in Louisville 1995 No Big 8 Titles no money into program No Big 12 titles until 2000 Imagine if Demond Parker stayed in 1999 under Bob and compary 1999 Josh Heuple best QB since Cale ​​​​​​​​​Need I say more Boomer Sooner

[@billquantrill4960]

Well, we know you can use your search engine. Congrats, Pops. 🤣

[@clw22580]

Brent has been COMPLETELY unwilling to go outside his defensive philosophy so if he’s not internal he will be someone from Clemson

[@davidwills5600]

Before the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Boise State, Oklahoma knew nothing but victory. After the loss against Boise State in 2007 Oklahoma knows nothing but defeat. Tonight, Boise State is gonna lose in the Fiesta Bowl. They are going to know nothing but defeat from here on out. Oklahoma needs a signature bowl win, so we too will know nothing but victory.

[@larryseago730]

He went from Co DC to DC and got $$$$$$. A No brainer. it's called getting a promotion. They all do it. BV did it, or did he just Morph to OU? it's a business. In business, you expect this. You either promote them, and pay them, or they go where that will happen.

[@efb3603]

It's rough when you feel like you have to leave your second daddy after one year 😪 These pri__s work for money and not for allegiances😊

[@seanakima50515e]

You cant promote anyone if you do they're gone at seasons end. Go get someone outside the program but is willing to play the puppet role.

[@josephjeffery9829]

Why won’t Brent Venables just coach the defense? He’s doing it anyway and let Arbuckle handle the offense. You don’t need a defensive coordinator.

[@alec_f1]

I'll by that since it frees the head coach position up for a new hire with Brent back at DC.

[@josephjeffery9829]

That’s his true calling but it ant going to happen I wish

[@JeremyTurpen-s7h]

In looking for work all I get is complaints of their personal shit and they see my resume it's oh you can't know this much as I say well for you even know God?
