Yes that seems likely. Will be curious on Fickel. Baylor's coach seems too chill for OU.

The requirements of core classes makes more sense to me. If you can get decent grades in these classes it shows that you can work through things more than do well for an hour or two on a subject.
The first year courses I took for Electrical Engineering were pretty good at weeding students out. Not sure how it is now, but when I started I recall you were admitted to pre-engineering and then moved to your actual major if you fulfilled the requirements. A few people I knew changed to MIS.
Four of my kids in various engineering at ISU. They all spent a ton of time the first two years in core engineering classes even though they were already admitted to a specific engineering major. Basically took an intro course or two in actual major but the core classes take up the beginning, depending on how many classes they already had AP or dual enrollment credit in. Makes it pretty easy to transfer between engineering majors, which one of them did from EE to mechanical.
I would think they would want a pretty decent Math ACT or some AP Calculus credit before just putting a kid in engineering of any kind.
I guess they all took an online math placement test too

The hands on aspect of architecture saves a lot of smart and hardworking students who don’t fit the mold of good test takers.
ISU used to be one of few that had arch eng degree but they downgraded it. In general the profession is not as good as it used to be as a result.
Great timing if ISU really is playing Clemson in the Cheezit bowl.
Maybe it's just me but this is not an impressive hire for a team heading into the SEC. I predict they'll be doing another search in 5 years.
It is definitely you. Teams from the entire spectrum of college football have been begging Venebles to take their job for the better part of a decade. This is the team who finally gets him, plus is able to take a top OC from the SEC. This has to be the 3rd best hire of the cycle behind Riley, Kelly
Maybe I'm mistaken, but wouldn't this be a Heacock disciple because wasn't it Clemson that showed great interest in our "D" strategy and copied it?
Sometimes great coordinators don’t make good HCs. There is a reason either he didn’t take jobs or others didn’t hire him. Not sure how this will turn out, but he has to learn big 12 teams for a few years and then flip the switch and learn SEC teams.
Venables for Riley is offense for defense, mild for manic. Will be interesting to watch unfold, hopefully in the SEC.
I remember an Auburn DC who was supposed to be so great as HC that a Collectible Commemorative Coin was minted. How did that turn out?
If the bar was simply "good" at a typical P5 school, then it's probably a decent hire.
But the bar at OU will be "double-digit wins in the SEC" - that's an entirely different kettle of fish.
Baggage. That’s why it has taken so long for someone to hire him, and for him to want the spotlight.
