Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables received a warning about his status on the hot seat before the team plays Tennessee.

The Seth Littrell coaching era at Oklahoma did not go well. But Littrell is finding new life as Tennessee's senior offensive analyst.

Venables details the Vols' high volume offense, breaking down the star players that they need to contain if they want to walk out Neyland with a win.

Head coach Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners got back in the win column on Saturday, defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road by a final score of 26-7 in Columbia. OU started fast and finished strong in the 19-point win, and they are now 6-1 overall in 2025, including a 2-1 mark in the SEC.

Sooners were dumped by Ole Miss on Saturday and now visit No. 14 Tennessee this week, but after finding all the reasons for defeat, Venables remains upbeat.

The Sooners head coach had spent 10 years as Clemson defensive coordinator and faced South Carolina, the Tigers’ top rival, several times at Williams-Brice Stadium. So, he knew he would be seeing a rowdy student section with white towels that would be waving and knew he would be hearing the song “Sandstorm” that would be playing.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin addressed the several big-time programs that parted ways with their head coaches.
