Brent Venables to Steer Tigers' Defense
NORMAN, Okla. -- Last week, the Sooners added a defensive coordinator.
This week, they lost one.
Brent Venables, an assistant at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops since 1999, is leaving to take the defensive coordinator job at Clemson.
Venables was co-defensive coordinator at OU from 1999 to 2003, before taking over the defensive playcalling after Mike Stoops left. But last week, Bob Stoops brought his brother Mike back to the staff, relegating Venables to being a co-coordinator again

So long, Coach Venables. Here's hoping our defense can play better in 2012 (though our schedule appears to be somewhat more difficult).
