Venables and Elliott hot names as coaching searches heat up

There is a lot to talk about on this beautiful Monday, so let’s get started.

We will start with Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, who has naturally emerged as a candidate to be the head coach at Oklahoma after Lincoln Riley and USC pulled off a sneaky deal this past weekend. Venables coached at Oklahoma from 1999-2011 and still has plenty of ties in Sooner country, so there was no question that his name would be mentioned.

What are the chances of Venables leaving Clemson?

Oklahoma would be stupid to not ask him to interview.
