For Oklahoma Sooners fans and followers of the NCAA landscape, this is more than just a documentary—it’s a front-row seat to the heart, hustle, and humanity of Head Coach Brent Venables.
Produced in collaboration with the creators behind other acclaimed sports docs like “Last Chance U” and “QB1,” this project goes far beyond the gridiron. It delves deep into Venables’ roots, his rise through the coaching ranks, and the driving forces behind his relentless pursuit of excellence. From his early years in Salina, Kansas, through his legendary assistant roles at Kansas State and Clemson, to his triumphant return to Norman as the Sooners’ head coach, One for the Ages captures every high and low with gripping detail and raw emotion.
A Journey Forged by Fire and Faith
Brent Venables has never been a conventional coach. Known for his fiery sideline demeanor, encyclopedic football mind, and unshakable loyalty, his story is one of grit, perseverance, and unwavering belief. The documentary traces his path from humble beginnings to national championships, showcasing not only the games he won but the personal battles he fought.
Interviews with former players, fellow coaches, and family members paint a vivid portrait of a man who never stops pushing, never stops learning, and never loses sight of his values. Fans will see Venables as a mentor, a motivator, and a man deeply grounded in his faith and family. It’s not just about X’s and O’s—it’s about heart and home.
Sooner Nation Rejoices
News of the documentary’s release has already ignited excitement across Oklahoma and beyond. Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement, with fans, alumni, and former players sharing their anticipation. For many in the Sooner community, Venables isn’t just a coach—he’s a symbol of resilience, pride, and tradition.
“This isn’t just a story about Brent,” said former OU linebacker Kenneth Murray in the film’s trailer. “It’s a story about what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself. It’s about family. It’s about Oklahoma.”
The documentary doesn’t shy away from challenges either. It dives into the pressure of taking over a storied program in transition, the intense expectations from one of the most passionate fanbases in the country, and the heavy burden of legacy. Yet through it all, Venables emerges not just as a coach, but as a culture builder and leader of men.

Though he hails from the Midwest, Venables’ fiery spirit and folksy expressions have become legendary among players and press alike. Netflix’s cameras capture it all—from locker room speeches that could shake stadiums to quiet moments of reflection at home.
