Venables’ contract reworked, set for approval on Wednesday

Clemson University Board of Trustees Compensation Committee will meet Wednesday afternoon in Clemson to approve several actions, including extending the contract of defensive coordinator Brent Venables.

The Compensation Committee will also discuss and approve contracts for softball coach John Rittman and head women’s basketball coach Amanda Butler.

The Clemson Insider has learned Venables’ contract has been reworked a little bit, though those details are not disclosed at this time. We can tell you Clemson will extend Venables contract back to five years.

Venables originally signed a five-year deal back in July of 2018 that gave him the largest contract of any assistant coach in college football at the time.
