Coaching News and Rumors

Venables will bring them down for multiple years.

You could be correct. History is full of competent coordinators who were simply not competent head coaches. There's no doubt BV was an excellent DC , but so far, he's not cutting it as Head Coach. It will be interesting to see how long ou will let it ride - maybe he can turn it around, but the fanbase and the administration will not have a lot of patience.

OU is the kind of job where one could just show up, tweak the system, get some transfers, and win immediately. The "Blake-to-Stoops" transition was pre-NIL and all of these modern issues that coaches have to deal with, and they still managed to turn out, put the right people in the right places, and win.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Big XII coaches (Leipold, Campbell, Klieman, McGuire, etc.) said "eff this conference" and got the Sooner job and yielded immediate results.

How about Kelly?

The Oregon fans still like him for some reason, but what has he done since he left Eugene?

I don't believe OU will do well in the SEC long term. Too much competition for athletes and Norman = Starkville.

Why are you insulting Starkville?

I’m on your team das, I’ll take a few years of our dominance over OU - payback is sweet in this case.

I think OU is in real trouble and I approve. Venables will bring them down for multiple years.

Before we throw too much dirt on their grave remember we are just one year removed from them beating us at the State Fair. The rivalry tends to run in cycles and let hope we are in for a prolonged Burnt Orange cycle.

Excellent point, LHABSOB. Maybe Sark can match the early DKR record of the late 50's and 60's.

HHD,

What are you talking about? DKR only won 13 outa 14 games against them from 57 thru 70. Any "good" coach would have won all 14.
