Brent Venables

The more I learn about this guy, the more I think he would be a homerun hire. Not saying others wouldn't, but he would do really well here if he gets the right OC to come with him.

-Elite recruiter

Golic and wingo talked about him a little this morning. Both said they expect him to be the next big time coach. They wondered who would pay him. Both guys were really high on him.

Same here. I wonder why there's not more chatter about him.

He is also atop Ark board, may also be waiting out KS State. Small rumor he withdrew his name from our job, but can't good info on that yet

Venables is known to prize stability and family life. He's probably waiting for just the right place. I think we could be it.

Why take the DC from Clemson when you can take their former OC who has head coaching experience-Chad Morris. Morris was the hottest assistant coach in the country when he took the SMU job 3 years ago. They went 1-11 before he was hired. He went 2-10, 5-7, and this year 7-5 and they were 2 plays away from being 9-3. Only lost to 11-0 UCF by 7 points.
