This is a real quote from an OU fan on a YouTube video I watched a few hours ago about this extension:

”BV is just getting started. Year 1 was a mulligan because of what Lincoln did gutting the program and escaping through the back door in the middle of the night; year 2 we looked better, 10-2, but lost our OC and QB; year 3 was abysmal and it was Brent and the entire management’s fault; year 4 we went 10-3 and went to the CFP. The defense is scary good and Brent is yet to have his magnum opus recruiting class. The ceiling for this program is Nick Saban’s Alabama..remember I said it..BOOMER”

Okkkkaaaayyyyyyy Nick Saban called and reminded them that he won a natty at bama in his 3rd year…

Very aggy move by the gooners. Love it!

I swear this is his 3rd extension already

I put Venables in the Gary Gibbs level of coaching, Solid guy but not someone who is going to win championships

“Lost” their QB is also a charitable way to describe Gabriel’s departure. Ditching Gabriel for Jackson Arnold has aged into perhaps the biggest unforced error I’ve ever seen.

I think the question is: Why now? Why do you do this 3 weeks before the season starts? If the intent is genuine, then let him play the year out? It doesn’t seem to make any sense. Is there a desperation factor to lock him down so that he doesn’t leave like Riley left. Clemson may open up after this year, FSU may be on the hunt, USC if Riley can’t produce….Is OU desperate to hang on. I like Venables, but did he earn this extension? Seems to have a high floor but I think his ceiling is capped as a HC. Doesn’t make sense. Why now?

I really don't understand this move from the OU side. What has he achieved to warrant an extension? If you were smart, at least wait until after the season lol.
