Oklahoma Goes All in On Brent Venables with Contract Extension, SEC Recruiting Roundup, Vols-Aggies CWS Game 3
Listen now
Description
On today's show, we react to the news from Friday as Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables got a contract extension that will keep him in Norman through 2029. The six-year contract will pay the 53-year old Venables $51.6 million, an average of $8.5 million per year. But why did they do this NOW, before he even coaches a game in the SEC? We run through several theories including an extension to continue to help recruiting because of "job security", and the motivation to have him continue to get the Oklahoma defense back to their days of dominance and cranking out of NFL defensive linemen. Also, we recap a busy weekend of recruiting in the SEC, as Auburn swiped a running back commit from Penn State in Alvin Henderson, Brian Kelly and LSU added to their class with edge LaJesse Harrold and offensive lineman Carius Curne, while Mizzou added cornerback Mark Manfred, Mississippi State added a trio of players, Florida got a tight end in Micah Jones and much more. In addition, we discuss two exciting games in the College World Series as Texas A&M took Game 1 9-5, while Tennessee responded back in Game 2, winning 4-1. A decisive Game 3 happens tonight in Omaha, as the SEC will celebrate yet another National Championship.
