Brent Venables and Oklahoma have reached an agreement to make the former Clemson defensive coordinator the program's new head coach, sources confirmed to Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde. The Athletic's Bruce Feldman was the first to report the news.
The move comes just a little over a week after former coach Lincoln Riley was announced as the new coach for the Trojans. Shortly after the reports began to surface of the done deal, Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione seemingly confirmed that he locked up Venables with an emoji on Twitter.
