How hot is Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables' seat in 2026?

Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables has had an up-and-down tenure in Norman. Venables took over before the 2022 season after Lincoln Riley left for Southern California.

He went 6-7 in his first season, the first losing season at Oklahoma since 1998. Venables followed that up with an impressive 10-3 campaign. That led to a lot of expectations heading into 2024, the Sooners' first in the SEC. However, that year was a disaster, as Oklahoma again went 6-7. Venables entered the 2025 season under intense pressure. But as he did in 2023, Venables rebounded with a 10-3 campaign, this time reaching the College Football Playoff for the first time since 2019.
