Steve Sarkisian and Brent Venables have their differences.
Sarkisian is an offensive guy who played quarterback; Venables is a defensive guru who played linebacker. Sarkisian is on his third head coaching stop; Venables in his second season as a head coach. One is a West Coast man (Sarkisian) who spent almost his entire life there before recently; the other a Florida-born guy who played college ball and coached in the Midwest and East Coast.
But there is something similar about them: They are the sharpest minds in the game of football in their respective units, according to their own peers.
