Former OU Defensive Architect’s Surprise SEC Move Sends Shockwaves Through Rivalry

Midway through the 2018 season, Stoops was fired by former OU head coach Lincoln Riley after a 48-45 loss to Texas. Meanwhile, Venables was busy helping build a perennial title-contending defense with the Tigers, and he won two more national titles in Clemson. When Riley left after the 2021 season, the Sooners hired Venables as the program’s new head coach.

Now, Oklahoma is set to see Stoops on the opposite sideline for each of the next four seasons, provided he stays with the Rebels for that long. Ole Miss is one of Oklahoma’s three annual rivals for the next four years, meaning Stoops and Venables will once again be connected, over a quarter-century after they both arrived as co-DCs in Norman.
