Oklahoma Board Chair Backs Venables: 'There Is No Head Coaching Issue'
The chairman of the University of Oklahoma's board of regents, Rick Nagel, publicly backed head football coach Brent Venables on Nov. 11, saying there is no head-coaching issue in Norman, Cleveland County. The Sooners are 5-4 this season. Venables is under contract through the 2031 season at an average of $10.5 million a year, and his buyout exceeds $52 million.
Oklahoma recently dismissed its offensive coordinator and named Jason Witten interim coordinator. Venables' overall record stands at 37-24, though the Sooners are 0-4 in bowl games under him. Oklahoma is coming off a 23-7 win over Florida. Nagel said the board's focus is on supporting the program through the rest of the season.
