OU's Venables tops list of intriguing assistant coaches

[KHS Sooner]

1. Brent Venables, Oklahoma defensive coordinator: If Venables were more of a self-promoter, he'd probably be running his own BCS conference school by now. He's sharp, energetic and charismatic. Players love him, and he's also a great recruiter with a keen eye for talent. He has learned a lot about game-planning from spending so much time around Bob Stoops. Despite coaching an extremely young defense, Venables' D still ranked in the top 10 in scoring and the group really improved late in the season, as evidenced by OU shutting down a high-powered Mizzou offense in the Big 12 title game."

Damn, I don't want to lose him. I don't think we could get anybody better than him to replace him. :(

Despite all the nay-sayers, I think Venables is doing an excellent job. Give that man a raise, he just won another B12 championship!!!!

Bonus Money - For a Big 12 Championship - More $$$$$ for a Bowl Victory....Spread The wealth Around.... For BV ... :)

I bashed on BV after the TT game but MAN did he bring those guys to play the last two games. The D has been OUTSTANDING since halftime of the TT game.

[Dan Thompson]

The only thing I did like that he did, was the prevent defense.

How much do we pay our asst. coaches? Are they on the upper echelon of the salary tree?
