Last week, the Oklahoma Sooners were treated like a junior varsity football team at the hands of their bitter rival, the Texas Longhorns. So, when a team goes through an embarrassing moment like that fans would like to believe that the next week their club will answer the bell.
As it turns out, the Sooners didn't hear no bell, as the team is currently being run through like a wall made of paper by South Carolina. Fans of the program are feeling uneasy and placing a lot of the blame on head coach Brent Venables.
Brent Venables' buyout is just under $45 million

Just in case anyone was wondering...
What if we told Brent Venables he was coming back as HC and told Lincoln Riley we were hiring him as HC and let them both think they were HC while they just ran respective sides of the ball?

The Sooners' first year in the SEC is not going as well as they hoped, with some fans wishing for a return to the Big 12. Back-to-back poor performances and only winning one of your last four isn't going to cut it in Norman.
If Venables hasn't been looking for homes outside the area, now seems like a good time to start that process. Download the Zillow app, coach.
