Oklahoma Faces High Stakes with Venables’ Future Amidst Struggles

 

Oklahoma’s football program finds itself at a crossroads after a challenging start to the 2024 season under head coach Brent Venables. Venables, who signed a six-year, $51.6 million contract in June, is facing growing pressure following the team’s lackluster performance. According to The Oklahoman’s Colton Sulley, the significant financial commitment to Venables, which includes a massive $44.8 million buyout clause if terminated, makes a mid-season coaching change unlikely.

With the Sooners currently underperforming, fans and analysts alike are looking toward the hiring of a new offensive coordinator as a potential turning point. The expectation is that this move could help spark the team’s resurgence and set the stage for a more promising 2025 season. For now, it appears Oklahoma will need to rely on its upcoming adjustments and hope that the current coaching staff can get things back on track.
