You just never know. It was when OU took Stoops away from his DC job at Florida. More often than not, it doesn't work out.

Big difference is Stoops was 39 when he took the OU job. Venables turns 51 next week. He's not too old to succeed but other than Bruce Arians how many coaches had to wait longer to become HCs and were any good? Doesn't seem like many.

51 is the new 29

Or, in the case of @RaceBannon, 5100 is the new 2900.

Sure but Venables could have had any number of big time HC jobs the last few years. Dude was hot shit at OU, and didn't Clempson make him the first million/yr coordinator in the nation, back when that was absolutely batshit insane money? /shrug

All true.

Will be interesting to see how he does. The fact he looks like death chincarnate adds to the chintrigue.

I had it out with one of my dads one time and told him he always looks angry and he said "I KNOW" and like teared up a little.

But yeah, Brent has strangled someone to death before.

Calling my shot. This is their Mike Hopkins hire.

At 10x the pay rate

So should have gone into coaching for this insane money grab. These fucking idiots would get sent to the basement in the corporate world.

Don’t even get me started on saggy titted ADs who couldn’t manage a P&L if her bra strap depended on it.

I'm waiting for the first 10yr contract where the school wants out after 2 and they're fucked so the market starts correcting to the norm.

The norm should be about $300k or GTFO. There are, quite literally, tens of thousands of qualified managers with football experience.
