U40: Examining the vote of confidence for Brent Venables

U40: Examining the vote of confidence for Brent Venables

Author: SoonerScoop.com November 14, 2024 Duration: 1:34:09
It's the middle of the week on a bye week. But yesterday's Board of Regents meeting gave us some answers as to where Brent Venables sits and his future. President Joe Harroz and AD Joe Castiglione both went on record lending support to Venables. We talk about the road forward. What happens to the quarterback room? Where we see Oklahoma looking for an offensive coordinator. What would it mean to buy out Venables now? Both financially and program stability. There are a lot of numbers thrown around. But the true cost is much, much higher. We still haven't seen in cracks in the recruiting front and signing day is just a few weeks away. And what does signing day even look like now? Lots to go over in this week's edition of the Unofficial 40. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40! Do not.
