Brent Venables believes there's no limit to what Sooners can achieve
Oklahoma Sooners head football coach Brent Venables answered a lot of questions in 2023. After being hired to be the next head coach of the historic OU Football program on December 5, 2021, he had plenty of work to do to build the program in his image after his predecessor’s sudden and unexpected departure.
