Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooner coaching staff will transition to the SEC in 2024, and several changes are intended to bring success.

Brent Venables is heading into his third season in charge of the Oklahoma Sooners in 2024. After making several changes to his coaching staff, he is looking to lead the team to immediate success in the SEC.

Who has Venables brought in to replace several high-profile departures? Let’s look at the Oklahoma coaching staff for the 2024 college football campaign.

Venables was named the 23rd head coach of the Sooners in 2021 following Lincoln Riley’s decision to leave Norman to head west and take charge of USC. In his two years as the Oklahoma head coach, Venables has a 16-10 record, including two bowl game losses.

It marks Venables’ first foray into the head coaching landscape, as he returned to Oklahoma following a decade as defensive coordinator with Clemson. Before joining the Tigers, Venables was the defensive coordinator with the Sooners between 1999 and 2011. During that period, the Sooners won a National Championship and seven Big 12 Championships.

Venables was reportedly targeted for several college head coaching vacancies before deciding to move to Clemson in 2011.
