I haven't forgotten anything.

Venables didn't get run out, and his defenses were good to excellent during his tenure as the sole DC. That's what you forgot. This is covered on the recruiting board in detail so you can look up there and go to footballoutsiders.com and review the primary data regarding defensive efficiency.

His average scoring defense at OU was 31st in the country.  OU fans were used to having top 10 defenses when Stoops and Pelini were the playcalling DCs and nicknamed him Vulnerables.

He had one top 10 scoring defense at OU.  2009 when Bradford was hurt and OU took the air out of the ball because Jones was not a good passer that year.

He also had a scoring defense of 60 in 2008 when OU could not stop anyone.

    You admitted to not watching a Texas ou game. You have lost the privilege to make demands in the ou thread.

OU was playing at tempo therefore saw more plays and drives than most teams. In addition, the Big12 had great and diverse offenses that era. There were years when 4-5 of the top ten offenses in the country were in the Big12. That's why I look at advanced stats. They can account for variance in tempo and level of competition (with limits on the latter). Most people who are serious about this stuff use these metrics because they're far, far more informative. I left the references for you.

Your ideas were shared by the portion of the OU fanbase that was frustrated with Venables in 2010 and 2011. Those fans were wrong because they're looking at the wrong data, just like you are now. The last decade is further evidence of this. Venables had the same basic philosophies and schemes at Clemson as he did at OU. His talent, especially the DL, got better. 

There are many ways Venables could fail as a head coach at OU. It won't be because he can't organize a defense.

Oklahoma will reportedly make Jeff Lebby one of the highest paid coordinators in college football

Jeff Lebby has been a part of some of the most explosive offenses in college football.

From his time at Baylor under Art Briles, to UCF (where he first held the offensive coordinator title) to what he did with the Rebels the past two seasons, he's clearly been a coordinator on the rise.

Now, as a part of Brent Venables new staff at Oklahoma, he will reportedly join rare air as one of the highest paid coordinators in college football.

According to The Oklahoman, who obtained the contract details, Lebby has agreed to a three-year, $5.7 million deal.

He will make $1.8 million his first season, $1.9 million year two, and join the $2 million coordinator club in year three under the terms of his deal.

With Tony Elliott leaving Clemson to be the head coach at Virginia, Lebby's salary likely makes him the highest paid offensive coordinator in the game.

At Ole Miss, Lebby initially came on board making $700k, but a new contract 11 months ago bumped his annual pay into the $1.2 million range.

On the other side of the ball, defensive coordinator Ted Roof also has a three-year deal, worth $3.45 million. Roof will make $1.1 million his first season, followed by increases of $50k over the next two seasons.

Who is OU competing with to get Roof? They're overpaying him by 300K.

Not surprised OU's in the portal for OL. I expect that they may take one more even. Where did you see he's going to OU?

His dad told me.

 

He made it sound like they were pretty public about it, so I hope I’m not blowing anything up for the dude.

 

He also said his sin hated and loved Becton. Hatesd because Becton kicked his ass (figuratively), loved because Becton kicked his ass and made him tougher.

His little brother (QB at The Woodlands) just got an OU offer. I think he’s gonna be a really good player. Pretty sure he was the District MVP as a Soph.

Are we going to finally fall ass backwards into a cotton bowl win?

Just like when A&M lost Kyler Murray & Kyle Allen. 2 5-star QBs gone.

Dunno there was some questionable officiating in the 2021 OU/KU game and let's not forget the 40-35 game against 2-10 Tulane. OU wasn't very good last season and they appear to be headed towards a dog shit 2022 season unless they pull off a miracle through the portal.

I'd prefer they revert to the John Blake days. He was even worse than Strong.

Careful with that line of thinking....

i-know-cause-i-thought-the-same-thing-er

Dude on Reddit recently put up a post saying he was offered $1M by Auburn and OU wouldn’t match…then promptly deleted it.  This was before his portal entry was known

If he decides to stay are they going to have a press conference with the band, cheerleaders and Stoopses?

As much as I hate OU, this is a dick move waiting till after the bowl game. They need to go find a QB, tell him he can get fucked.

Guess Caleb's gone for sure... Nice save by blOU since Dillon was Lebby's starting QB at UCF in 2019

 

Then getting Clemson’s DL and best recruiter is a bigger deal than the QB drama.

If they can ratchet up their defensive recruiting and player development, they’ll compete for the SEC.  You can find good offensive players anywhere.

I can't up vote your post because I liked all the Gabriel transfer posts, but this is my feeling too. Todd Bates + Venables + OU NIL/bag = good defense in Norman.

Getting a competent QB is nice too.

Caleb from CA in the portal and headed to USC shouldn't be a surprise. How bizarre that Rattler didn't see that coming and shot himself in the gonads.  OU is screwed on O but sadly the D will rise which has been crap for many years. So it's a wash IMO and Texas will have a hard time again.

If the refs cheat for you to do it again…

OU doesn’t have the bags, under or over the table via NIL, to buy the DL Clemson has bought over the years. Big Red tossing a couple thousand to unpaid interns ain’t going to buy the Walter Nolan’s of the world. 

This off season has been so much better than the season by far and it hasn't even officially started yet.

Not surprised Caleb is in the transfer portal. I called that shit once Lincoln left. Caleb will probably go to USC.
