Venables comes to Norman with an established Oklahoma background already. He was an assistant with the Sooners from 1999 to 2011 under Bob Stoops. He was a part of the Sooners’ staff during their 2000 national championship run with Stoops at the helm.

He had served on the Clemson staff since 2012. He was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach when he first started then was named the associate head coach in 2018. His defense anchored two national championships for Clemson. He was also named the 2016 Broyles Award winner as the nation’s top assistant college football coach.

Oklahoma started off with high hopes, but the team had some quarterback controversy and lost key games down the stretch to be taken out of the College Football Playoff conversation and the Big 12 title conversation. Riley bolted for USC last week and Stoops is set to coach the Sooners in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon.
