Brent Venables received a six-year, $46 million extension last week from Oklahoma after two seasons leading the Sooners. Still, as glad as he is for him and them in Norman, Greg McElroy doesn’t necessarily understand why. McElroy questioned the timing of Venables’ new deal during ‘Always College Football’ on Monday. Although he thinks he has done well so far at OU, he worries that this contract could possibly put them in a bind as they enter the SEC. That’s especially so since he already wasn’t necessarily going to be on the move anytime soon either. “I think Brent Venables has done a nice job...

Paul Finebaum was pretty honest about Oklahoma’s contract extension for Brent Venables: it was necessary. Venables signed a six-year, $46.05 million extension through the 2029 season. However, he was just entering Year 3 of his tenure as head coach of the Sooners. But this is the cost of doing business if you’re Oklahoma and Venables. That’s how Finebaum broke it down. “If we were sitting at the Wharton School of finance doing cost analysis, we probably would find fault with the decision,” Finebaum said on McElroy and Cubelic. “But everything about college athletics right now is perception and...

There’s a current Big 12 coach whose favorite catchphrase is, “Do you believe?” But forget about Deion Sanders here, the answer for Oklahoma’s administration regarding their former Big 12 head coach turned SEC statesman Brent Venables is an emphatic, “Yes.” Venables is just 16-10 as the Sooners’ head coach, yet he was rewarded with a contract extension (two years) and raise (roughly $925,000 annually) as the program makes their transition to the SEC this fall. “We’re proactive about contracts as best as we can, and we’re watching the market, we’re certainly recognizing the performance of our c...

Terms for the contract extension for Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables have come in, and the Sooners head man is getting a modest raise of the six-year term tacked on to his current deal. All told, the new extension — approved by the Board of Regents — covers six years and is worth a bit more than $46 million, according to SoonerScoop. Venables is set to make his base salary of $7.2 million this season before a $400,000 raise in annual salary hits for the 2025 season. Venables’ base compensation will go up by $100,000 in three of the next four years, paying him $7.925 million annually in 2029...

After two seasons at Oklahoma, Brent Venables will be staying in Norman for the remainder of the decade. Per Pete Thamel at ESPN, Venables and the Sooners have agreed on a new contract for the next six years. With that deal also comes a major raise that represents a dedication to him and to the program as they head into their new conference this fall. “Sources: Oklahoma has agreed to a new six-year contract for coach Brent Venables,” Thamel shared on Twitter. “The new six-year deal includes a significant raise for Venables, and there’s been an uptick in overall program commitment as OU heads t...

Oklahoma starts their SEC tenure in 2024, and while the storylines are plentiful, one college football coach sees a phase of the game where he’s unsure the Sooners can compete. The knock on the Big 12 compared to the SEC over the years has been that they just don’t have the big beefy talented bodies up front like the teams in the southeast. There’s great QBs, coaches, skill talent, etc., but the SEC has just consistently produced pros in the trenches like no other league besides maybe the Big Ten.

This fall is going to be a whole new ball game for Oklahoma as they move into the SEC. Brent Venables knows it too with all that comes with the jump for his Sooners into the Southeastern Conference. Venables discussed what his program has learned and put into their transition into their new conference during their first-ever appearance at the SEC Spring Meetings in Destin. He said that one aspect that he has noticed about their new league is the amount at the disposal for each team, which means they too need to have all those available to them. “Yeah, just that it’s very efficient,” said Venab...

DESTIN, Fla. — There’s no Nick Saban at this year’s edition of the SEC Spring Meetings. The six-time national champion head coach who won 11 SEC titles in 22 seasons stepped down following the 2023 campaign, and the lack of his presence was something various SEC head coaches from Texas’ Steve Sarkisian to Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin touched on throughout the week. [Sign up for Inside Texas and get ONE MONTH for $1!] The lack of Saban means one of the game’s larger-than-life presences is no longer in the coaches meetings that are held in an attempt to find solutions to the sport’s pressing issues.

On Wednesday morning’s live On3 YouTube show, Andy Staples and Cody Bellaire took on the mountainous task of evaluating the ceiling and floor for each SEC football team heading into the first year of the expanded conference. When it came to Oklahoma in their first year with the SEC, they had some serious questions about the offensive line and OU’s young QB behind it. However, there’s also a lot to like about the talent in other spots, plus, the Sooners do have a path to a hot start in 2024. Let’s start with the optimism.
