OU Football: "We have the right coach" President and AD Show Support For Brent Venables

[@Larry-t3v]

The rest of the SEC certainly wants Brent to continue.

[@formallyknownasjojoemcpart6684]

Brent needs to hit a HR with his OC hire. I want him to succeed.

[@wmmchap]

Facts.

[@ShaneAlan1]

So.what you're saying is that Brent is no good and the offensive coordinator is who will make him look good? Sad

[@ComoSOONER]

​@@ShaneAlan1I believe what he is saying is that we need a beast for an OC. You inability to read and understand English, that's sad.

[@billquantrill4960]

If he gets another year then yes, he needs to hire a competent offensive coordinator, tho looking at the situation I doubt the top names will want to work for what may well be a lame duck coach. Hey honey; lets move the kids to Oklahoma so we can move again possibly in a year. Ugh.

[@wmmchap]

Texas fans are loving the fact OU is keeping BV. It’s like when OU fans were so happy to hear Texas kept Charlie Strong and Tom Herman back in the day.

[@SpecOpsCM]

Let’s see them have the same energy if we’re missing another bowl game next year.

[@SoonerBear]

That's right. Certainly the fact that BV's wife's cancer has come back doesn't help the situation. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I'm sure that impacts how focused he is. If I was him & in his shoes, I might consider stepping down, after the season. I doubt they'll win another game this season, but we'll see. That's why they play the games.

[@Allen-hg2hu]

​@@SoonerBearAgree, his family and wife's health takes priority over coaching a game or season. Also the dreaded "vote of confidence", rarely means anything. Texas said that about Tom Herman, and fired him 3 weeks later after beating GA in the bowl game also.

Not giving BV or the staff “excuses” they missed on portal guys and talent on OL. The OL is very disappointing to watch, they do not put ANYBODY in a good situation.

True. Think about it. 1994, Patty's first year, the football team had 6 nattys. Got #7 in 2000, the same year Patty got #1. Fast forward 24 years, Patty has 8, football team hasn't won one since. Let that sink in. Won't win another, probably not in my lifetime. Never say never, but extremely doubtful. BTW, Brent deserves one more year, no matter what happens in our last two games. Firing Brent this year is sheer lunacy. Look @ the turnaround of that defense. OK, not elite, but certainly better than last year & the year before. Now, next season, no bowl game, yes. @ least consider it strongly. This will be a HUGE offseason for OU football. Maybe the biggest.

We need to find a really good OC, who knows how and when to call the right plays for the situation at hand as for instance when we should have been running the ball at the 3:00 minute mark Xavier Robinson, was running the ball over under and around the defense give him the ball even if we are stopped and have to punt the ball, pin them deep don't turn the ball over and give them momentum. Maybe thing's turn out different.

[@SpartanArmy117]

This explains like 90% of the year. That's why I think Hawkins should've still been in there. Yes he also had some bad turnovers but he clearly is more capable of taking care of the ball overall.

It's game theory. AD and administration support the coach right up to the point they fire him. It helps recruiting to seem to be supportive. When they get the money for buyout and are ready to pull the trigger, they will fire him. The buy out is huge now and defense has been good, and many injuries to give an excuse for offense. They will give him one more year to show progress.

Guys first of all who the hell would we hire as HC if we fired BV? There is no one realistically out there I feel great about hiring. Even if you name a slam dunk HC hire, we have no idea if they will work out in the SEC and likely it won't in year 1 anyways. Secondly, do you guys really want year 2 in the SEC to be a total rebuild on both sides of the ball? The defense hasn't been elite but it is a good SEC defense and there is obviously room to improve. Next year's focus will be on the offense, and if it isn't improved at all then sure consider firing BV. I know this year sucks, but emotionally overreacting and firing the HC is not the play. But hey that's just my opinion.

[@holygraehl4009]

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

Ridiculous. OU can get any coach they want if they pay.

[@Allen-hg2hu]

​@@XxsoonerbornxXNo you can't, otherwise Brent Vegetables wouldn't be your coach. They had to beg this DC to coach, he wasn't interested in being a HC, now you see why. No one was beating the door down to hire him, except OU. No one was beating down the doors to coach at OU either apparently, this hire was the best they could do. Big names are not interested in doing a full rebuild and moving to hickville Norman, OK, and having to recruit in the SEC against powerhouses that can get all the good Tx kids now. Lose the arrogance, it will not serve them well in the SEC, not on the level of GA or Bama. Bama gonna hang 40 on OU.

[@chessward4832]

As a Dodger fan, all I’ve heard for years is how awful Dave Roberts is and how horrible his game management is. And look at him now. Sometimes these head coaches need time to grow into the role. Look at Jim Harbaugh at Michigan for example. Venables has my vote for one more year due to his fantastic turnaround with our defense. Suffice to say, he needs to hire the very best (proven) OC available, and yes, it would be nice to lose these last two games with a little dignity.

@@dadestarmysteries255 well, i guess my point of view is i've watched ou since the late seventies. i make note of bob stoops' tenure and yes, we won alot of games. we won 1 national championship with most of john blakes recruits. after that. we never won a natty again. in fact our defenses began to stink. i remember as far back a 2008 thinking our defenses stink. i began to view ou like a texas tech with better players. i also noted that all these games we won in the big twelve were lower tier teams for the most part. so...if you like winning alot of games against weaker competition then lets go back to the big twelve. in my opinion brent venables inherited a declining team thanks to muleshoe and basically was handed a crap sandwich with our pants down in front of the nation by muleshoe's departure. then brent is thrown into the sec 1st year with arguably the toughest schedule in the nation, with a year long injury challenge never seen before. this is a rebuilding in my opinion. and clearly we have a real good defense and dudes moving in the right direction. our biggest challenge is THE OFFENSIVE LINE and getting some dudes there. that would definitely help these young quarter backs. again i believe it is the offensive line that has to be fixed. i think brent can get it done. again thats just my opinion.. going forward we better get used to 8-4 , 9-3 ,10-2 and good chances for conference championships and a natty..this is not the big 12. think of the teams we have played. missouri is no slouch, south carolina has dudes. ole miss is a great team. texas has dudes, tennesee has dudes. that is a tough run and we have alabama next and LSU.. we need to take this into consideration. you get rid of venables now and that defense is gone and you are starting all over again...
