This is how I figured it would play out. I can't imagine Tepper being desperate enough for a mid season firing until it hits the fan next year, but you never know with an impatient billionaire.

These type college program jobs might not be available next year is the only thing making me think he could possibly leave, but I doubt it. I’m not even completely out on Rhule, but he needs to change his OC pretty quickly…

And Venables is?

Name a clear cut better coordinator in college football?   Clemson has more CFP appearances than anyone.  2 nattys.  And Clemson has been a top 25 scoring D his entire career.   And everyone in Clemson knows Venables and the QBs is what it has been about. 

and before Clemson got him....OU already saw first hand the Venables magic. 

So yeah, Venables excites the OU alumni and fanbase much more so than a busting NFL coach that didn't do diddly in college.   

Which is why the famous OU alumni have been the ones driving the bring Venables back bandwagon.  Rhule is a just randoms on twitter.  Venables actually has people openly lobbying for him.

Does Venables even want to be a HC? I think he's the highest paid assistant coach in college football. He makes more than most head coaches.

 

He does.  He has spoken on it. 

His stock his been hot for a long time.  He has spoken about why he has stayed at Clemson.  One key reason was he didn't want to be a hypocrite to his kids.  He sold them on Clemson and that experience and wasn't going to then bail for a paycheck/job after they bought in.

One finishes his career at Clemson this season and isn't using his COVID year.   The other is halfway through.  So I don't think he is in the same corner he was a couple years ago.

Honestly I think OU fans want Venables to be a head coach more than Venables himself but yeah why stress when you make lots of money with a less stressful position.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
