I think that move serves them well coming into the SEC. what do you all think. More upside IMO than Kelly at LSU

Jim Sweet told me this isn't happening so it can't be true.

Well... the last time we hired a successful defensive coordinator as coach, it didn't work out too badly at all. So I guess we'll see.....

It looked like a legitimate post until his last sentence. Someone will get upset about it though, thus feeding the troll to continue the practice in the future.

a little time seems to change everything

Would be funny if he pulled Muschamp as well (also highlighted in the linked article).

I'd have to say that Venables as HC with Lebby and Muschamp could be formidable

No one knows if a good hire or not. Sure, he's a great coordinator but that's way different than managing an entire program and being the full face of a program. Can he hire the right pieces and allow those pieces to do thier job is the real question. I think the majority of OU fans are onboard with this though. I for one would take BV over a hundred Rileys at this point.

Seeing as he resisted other HC opportunities, going to OU will be pressure day 1.

Everything is always better than what LSU did. Piss off.

People may not like it but at least B. Kelly is a proven winner and a good recruiter, BV can't even compare to Kelly

OUs forumula of heisman QB and no physicality on either side of the ball all those years they lost NC and CFP games obviously didn’t work. Getting a coach like BV that’s a top recruiter and emphasizes physical hard hitting football is probably the best shot OU has at winning in the SEC long term. Venables DL and LB pedigree alone is enough for me to like the hire. With lebby as OC and Caleb Williams being a freshman I think OU will be a playoff lock in 2023.

What? Venables is one of the top recruiters in CFB. Kelly isn’t even in the top 10.

The fact BV has remained a DC this long tells you everything you need to know. He will fail.

Tells me there's ONLY ONE job he'd ever consider in becoming a HC.

BV is good but B. Kelly consistently gets great talent even working within the restrictions of ND and consistently fields a great team, a good portion of his guys are not big names you hear out of high school but continue to produce. BV might be great for OU but I just don't think you can compare the two.

I think y'all are gonna be much better-served by Venables than you would have been by Riley.

Good hire if true.
