Everyone at OU is pumping that Venables is a done deal. I've seen quite a few "done deals" with our coaching searches so I'm not believing anything until it comes out of John Curries mouth at the podium.
Took yesterday off for the most part and now that I've digested it a bit I'm not upset at the hire. I don't think he's going to turn us into world beaters next year but I do think (hope) he can start to actually build us back to relevancy. I, of course, would've loved a Bob Stoops, Chris...
If it gets this program back on track the money won't be an issue. A rolling UT is one of if not the richest programs out there. Short term pain for long term benefits.
Well, it's sure starting to feel like it's Tony Elliot to me. No doubt he's a great coach that's highly regarded and I'll certainly get behind him but can't help feel a little disappointed.
