As of January 23, 2025, there is no publicly available information regarding an open letter or emotional message from Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables to fans and the team in 2024. However, during the 2024 season, the Sooners experienced notable events under Venables’ leadership.
In September 2024, Venables made a significant decision to start true freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. over Jackson Arnold for the game against Auburn. This change followed a challenging performance by Arnold in a loss to Tennessee, where he committed three turnovers in the first half. Hawkins’ promising performance in the second half of that game influenced Venables’ decision to adjust the starting lineup.
Later in the season, in November 2024, the unranked Sooners secured a remarkable 24-3 victory over No. 7 Alabama. This upset not only showcased the team’s potential but also made a significant impact on the college football landscape, as it affected playoff considerations for several teams.
