Oklahoma has given head soccer coach Brent Venables a contract extension.
Oklahoma’s Board of Regents authorised a six-year, $46.05M contract extension for Venables that runs by the 2029 season.
The raises for Venables will start subsequent yr.
The bottom wage listed doesn’t embrace a $600,000 annual cost that Venables receives. For those who embrace that, Venables will make $49.65 million, with a mean annual worth of $8.275 million.
The contract represents a serious turnaround for Venables, who went 6-7 in his first season because the Sooners’ head coach. However Oklahoma turned issues round final yr by going 10-3, together with a win over eventual CFP contender Texas.
Quarterback Dillon Gabriel produced huge numbers final season (30 passing touchdowns, 12 dashing touchdowns) for the Sooners. The Sooners will doubtless have Jackson Arnold taking up at quarterback as they start play within the SEC.
