Oklahoma agreed to a six-year contract extension with head coach Brent Venables that includes a significant pay raise, sources told Pete Thamel of ESPN.
The new deal, which keeps the third-year sideline boss under contract through the 2029 season, is worth $46.05 million, according to 247Sports’ Tom Green. It was approved by the school’s board of regents Friday.
The Sooners – who are joining the SEC this season – went 10-3 in 2023, up from a 6-7 campaign during Venables’ first year in charge. Venables also had a successful stint as Clemson’s defensive coordinator from 2012-21.
