Venables has learned a lot from Dabo. And it helps explain why he’s still at Clemson
Another year of schools reaching out to Brent Venables to try to lure him away from Clemson to take a head coaching job. Another year that it appears the Tigers’ defensive coordinator will stay put.
It has become almost a tradition at this time each year that arguably the top assistant coach in the country is sought after to lead his own program.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reported last week that Venables has been pursued by at least two schools for head coaching jobs, and Venables confirmed that he spoke with Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt when the Red Raiders job was vacant. Still, there are no signs that Venables will be leaving Clemson any time soon.
