Soonerscoop saying Venables to OU.

Cam Marino also links Venables to the opening, citing his close relationship with athletic director Joe Castiglione.
I hope so, the Satterfield vs Venables matchup in our last game was quite lopsided LOL.
I hope its an entirely new matchup in 2022! For our OC vs their DC.

Come on now, would Dabo really do that to his boy, Shane?
Seems awfully quick, even if he's the first choice you think there would be a couple more days of sure diligence.
The OU AD is one of the best in the business, he was prepared for this a month ago.
I’m sure he knew Riley wasn’t interested in the SEC and was preparing his exit strategy long before the move to SoCal was announced.
When you have both LSU and USC flirting with your head coach, an AD better be ready with a replacement.
Yeah. Isn't there like a hiring process/job posting kinda thing that must be entertained for public universities?
I dunno. Maybe not.
This sounds like a lot of wishful thinking. But stranger things have happened.
One tweet from sports site had DJU going with him. Who knows....it could be interesting, it may be much ado about nothing.....but it gives us something to talk about.
Prior to being Kiffin's OC, Lebby was OC for Josh Heupel at UCF. By the way, I know you don't like him but, Heupel did a good job in his first year at UT, especially considering the mess he inherited there (losing probably more players to the portal than any other school and replacing a Head Coach who was clearly over his head).
I was perusing some Oklahoma boards. Apparently one bleacher report that had it as a done deal with DJ going with him was from a fake account.
Serious question, do you think Oklahoma would want DJ? Did they see him play?
He's young and he looked good the year before in a replacement role. Just not sure he was ready yet to have to carry the team. He has some talent.
It would make sense that OU goes after a defensive coach since defense has been their weakness since Riley has been HC. Having said that, seems to me that college rules have been favoring the offense in recent years. I'd be hiring an offensive guy. But, if it's Venables, I don't want to say anything BAD about him. "Soonerscoop Saying Venables to OU". GOOD.
Just glanced to see what he is reporting. Evidently David Hood hasn't been able to get any information. Saying the football complex is silent, all coaches are on the road recruiting, and other sources have no clue.
And while perusing a Clemson site, I read where the twitter picture of DJ and Venables son is supposed to be an old picture. But that's from an anonymous message board poster.
If it is him, I think Dabo will get a good replacement. But, you never know. I do know that clemson's rise coincided with BV becoming their DC. That's why I say "GOOD" if he is the one.
Saw that also. He didn't respond when someone pointed out DJU's injured hand....which I assume was recent.
He's the most talked about name with that opening right now. Make no mistake, this would be a gigantic loss for Clemson. if not for their D, they would be lucky to be a 6 win team this season. The Venables hire was THE hire that changed things at Clemson.
I could see a mass exodus of white linebackers from Clemson to OU, if Venables takes that job.
