Oklahoma did enough for co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Jay Valai to be able to resist a job at a different blue-blood program, but a chance in the NFL was just too irresistible for the Sooners to overcome.
Brent Venables now has a hole to fill on his loaded defensive staff with Valai set to head to the NFL to become the Buffalo Bills' defensive backs coach, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz on Monday morning. Zenitz had initially reported on Sunday that the Bills were targeting Valai for the position, but things grew much more serious within 24 hours.
