NORMAN — Fresh off a College Football Playoff appearance, Oklahoma football has locked up its head coach.
The Sooners and coach Brent Venables have agreed to a new two-year contract extension, the program announced Thursday. The deal will keep Venables in Norman through the 2031 season.
"Coach Venables is elite at building culture — not just in the locker room, but throughout the entire program," athletic director Roger Denny said in a statement. "I believe strongly in Coach Venables, in the culture he has built and in the structure we have in place around our football program."
