Venables’ comments on being linked to new head coaching jobs

It is once again that time of the year where Brent Venables’ name comes up as a possible candidate for a vacant head coaching job.

Of course, Clemson’s defensive coordinator understands it comes with the territory considering his defenses have been ranked as one of the nation’s best, it seems, every year during his nine-year tenure in Tigertown.

On Monday, reports circulated Venables could be a possible replacement for Gus Malzahn, who was fired at Auburn on Sunday. When asked about his future and if he desires to be a head coach at some point, the Tigers’ longstanding defensive coach said he does not truly have the time at this time of the year to think about such things.
