Twitter reacts to Brent Venables taking the Oklahoma job |
Some things don't last forever.
Elite defensive coordinator Brent Venables is leaving Clemson to become the new head coach at Oklahoma. The Oklahoma private plane picked him up on Sunday night and there will likely be a Monday press conference to officially announce his reunion with the Sooners. Check out some of the reactions on Twitter from the big hire by the Sooners: NO ONE BETTER. . .#LEGEND https://t.co/f9JkmCW07R So happy for coach. He deserves it more than anyone. Hardest working man I have ever known. Y'all take care of him!! @OU_Football Much love Coach V ???? @CoachVenables Yall better party bout this one, hes that dude ?? https://t.co/6NgU4jPoBE would love for @CoachVenables to stay here forever because of who he is, but you gotta be so happy for this man and his family. nobody more deserving! https://t.co/LTAwoG5EXG Nothing but love for you Coach ! https://t.co/7pA27gDvfn ?? OU had a new head coach. I was at the airport when Brent Venables and family boarded the OU plane. Spoke to his sons.... Entire family headed to Norman tonight Clemson QB Jimmy Greenbeans has entered the transfer portal. Clemson legitimately employed the best defensive coordinator in football for 10 seasons. Crazy to think about that. Been a wild ride Coach V. Good for Brent going to get some head coaching experience so that’s not a concern when Clemson looks to replace Dabo one day I believe the only way Brent Venables was going to leave Clemson was if the Oklahoma job opened at the same time that the Tigers weren't in the Playoff & it happened. BV is walking into OU with a next year heisman candidate QB, a Jordan brand deal, stronghold of recruiting in Texas pretty much, rich history of winning football, pretty much a few easy years before an SEC schedule to get exactly who he needs there. Good for him ?? Venables had a huge smile on his face as he hugged OU AD Joe Castiglione and the school president. Well deserved! Hardest working coach out there???? https://t.co/6rdyiDwvfJ I’m so damn proud to be a sooner tonight. Bringing back Brent Venables will bring toughness back to Norman. The best DC for the past decade picked Oklahoma after multiple job offers over the years. Don’t take that lightly. Brent Venables to Oklahoma is a major piece on the chess board. Lots of critical staff hires and recruiting implications coming up. Brent Venables has risen to the top scheming against the best. Will be fascinating watching him go against the SEC in a year or two. Plenty of experience. Brent Venables is one of the most sincere, genuine people I ever ran across in college football — and all of sports.

Well deserved https://t.co/wL1xTcwn5j “This guy has been the heart and soul for the Clemson Tigers.”@EricMacLain what Brent Venables means to the Clemson program. pic.twitter.com/2igStxkhYk “He’s relentless,” a Big 12 recruiter said. “Nobody will work hard as a head coach on the recruiting trail than Brent Venables. If I’m an Oklahoma fan, I’m doing cartwheels right now.” Long Live Jimmy Greenbeans https://t.co/5N4bVsYJJ7 Thank you Brent Venables for all you did for @ClemsonFB - amazing run of elite defensive football #clemsonfooball #clemsonfamily #GoTigers While there is work to be done, I’m guessing Brent Venables is going to be one helluva head coach at Oklahoma. Fiercely loyal. Incredibly detailed. Never predictable. Proven Championship winner. Brent Venables has been the most significant assistant coach in any sport in Clemson athletics history. Hate to see him leave Clemson but @CoachVenables is one of the greatest men and coaches on the planet and I’m very happy for him. It's still astounding that Brent Venables' defense held that absurdly talented 2018 Alabama offense to 16 points in the national championship game. Six. Teen. Points.
Oklahoma is the expected destination for the former 5?
Clemson legend. Thank you for everything. @CoachVenables
Definitely not a coincidence that Clemson's playoff and championship ride was with this man. pic.twitter.com/XLRWkMGvWd
Clemson does not win two National Titles without Coach V. His legacy is secure in Tigertown.
I could not be happier for him and this opportunity. It was so difficult for him to leave Norman. I can only imagine his emotions today. Congrats, BV!
