I kept hearing it all day yesterday too. And I haven't been able to find anything concrete, but I agree that all signs are pointing his way. It would be a huge home run IF he were able to get Venables to join him.
That would be insane and would quiet down the folks who are unimpressed by the Morris hire I would assume.
I'm a bit skeptical to say the least, that he would be able to get Brent to come here but I'm well aware that they are friends and have extensive ties.
Venables left Oklahoma and a power house to go to Clemson and coach with Chad. Could be happening again. He is making 1.7 now as a DC but some folks are reporting that we're offering 2.5 to get him here and Chad's deal is worth 3.75
That is totally doable and could be legit.
Even if he can't get Venables to come join him, we know that the brass is finally willing to pony up big money for a DC and we will land a top tier DC this time around, one way or another.
