What are you talking about, Venables has been DC all but 6 years of his coaching career.Kind of like Venables?
And also turned down quite a few head coaching jobs. Big difference between that and being a 30-year career position coach without being promoted to coordinator or offered other opportunities.What are you talking about, Venables has been DC all but 6 years of his coaching career.
What are the reasons he never got a HC job?And also turned down quite a few head coaching jobs. Big difference between that and being a 30-year career position coach without being promoted to coordinator or offered other opportunities.
Why? Both were stuck in the same roll for years - not advancing. Why is one bad and one not?Don’t compare one to the other…
Jmo he’s pretty intense borderline hothead possibility another BoWhat are the reasons he never got a HC job?
i had a feeling they let player faux offendedness take the fall here because he'd worn out his welcome vs. just letting him go. not a solid look.The true story may never come out, but there are many OU supporters and alums who weren't sorry to see Gundy go. The guy has a history of getting into shouting matches with other coaches during games, and his relationship with Venables back in the day when they both worked for Stoops was icy, at best. Many were actually surprised that Venables kept him on the staff after he was hired. Yes, he's a good recruiter, but there's a reason he has spent almost 30 years in the business without moving any higher than a position coach.
Remind me which HC jobs he turned down.And also turned down quite a few head coaching jobs. Big difference between that and being a 30-year career position coach without being promoted to coordinator or offered other opportunities.
Both were not stuck , Venables was the highest paid DC in football , he was contacted by numerous schools when head jobs were being filled , he chose to stay at Clemson because the pay at those schools were not worth moving up for. , When Oklahoma called it was worth the move so he showed interest and got the job,Why? Both were stuck in the same roll for years - not advancing. Why is one bad and one not?
He also interviewed for numerous HC jobs and didn't get themBoth were not stuck , Venables was the highest paid DC in football , he was contacted by numerous schools when head jobs were being filled , he chose to stay at Clemson because the pay at those schools were not worth moving up for. , When Oklahoma called it was worth the move so he showed interest and got the job,
I don’t believe that is correctHe also interviewed for numerous HC jobs and didn't get them
I don’t he even interviewed, he was making like 2.5 million at Clemson, most of the jobs I am talking about the Pay was like 3- 3.5 million, it wasn’t worth the move.He also interviewed for numerous HC jobs and didn't get them
Is this true? Which ones?He also interviewed for numerous HC jobs and didn't get them
He never interviewed for a head coaching job. He was contacted by various schools over the past 12 years for HC jobs (Auburn and Kansas State were two of them), but he did not interview.He also interviewed for numerous HC jobs and didn't get them
So close!He never interviewed for a head coaching job. He was contacted by various schools over the past 12 years for HC jobs (Auburn and Kansas State were two of them), but he did not interview.

Well said Cale. A man tales responsibility for his actions. That’s why being a good person is hard.Cale Gundy noted in his statement that he did not wish to be a distraction.
"I recognize this is a critical moment for Oklahoma football," Gundy wrote. "This team -- its coaches, players, administration and fans -- do not deserve to be distracted by off-the-field matters while working to continue the tradition of excellence that makes me so proud to be a Sooner.
"Naturally, I leave these sidelines heavy hearted. Coaching this football team truly has been my life's passion."
Cale Gundy had been on staff, since 1999, when Bob Stoops was hired to coach OU. OU won the 2000 national title.
Last year, Baylor and Oklahoma State outperformed OU in the Big 12.
Brent Venables is back in Norman, as head coach, after a long career as a DC, first in Norman, then at Clemson for Dabo Sweeney.
