DeBoer sounds like a done deal, but I found this yesterday that piqued my interest. His name hasn't come up once, but would be the only coordinator hire I'd be elated with:
Brent Venables-DC-Clemson
Background:
Venables, 50 years old, is from Kansas and played linebacker at Kansas State under Bill Snyder, who he then coached under from 1993-1998. Venables was the defensive coordinator for Oklahoma from 1999-2011 under Bob Stoops (reportedly part of the UW hiring council for this hire), adding linebackers and associate head coach to his duties. Post Oklahoma, Venables has been defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Clemson under Dabo Swinney from 2012 until now, adding an associate head coach to his duties in 2018. Venables has two sons who play on the current Clemson team. Venables is reported to be the highest-paid assistant in college football and has turned down multiple high-profile coaching gigs in the past.
Known For:
Coordinating elite defenses for over 20 years with a variety of schemes.
Why He Will Be Considered:
Venables has likely been the best defensive coordinator in college football over the last 20 years and leads a squad currently ranked third overall in scoring against his team.
Venables is one of, if not the premier recruiters in college football.
Venables is regarded as having an incredibly high character on and off of the field.
Venables has worked under three of the best coaches in the last 30 years of college football and has done nothing but win at an exceptional level.
Venables should be able to assemble an absolute all-star cast of coaches, given his experience and respect.
Why It May Not Work:
Venables has never been a head coach or been on a team without a hall of fame level coach. Can he fill that role?
Cost. Venables should demand a monster contract.
Will he leave Clemson? He's turned down high-profile jobs before and has two sons currently on the team.
Can he recruit on the west coast with no pipeline?
Bottom Line:
Venables has been one of the hottest names in coaching searches since the early 2000s and hasn't bitten yet. But I have heard there is possible mutual interest here. Venables would be a home run hire, but it's hard to see him leaving Clemson until his son's graduation, if ever. -

Bob Stoops is reportedly going to coach the bowl game for Oklahoma.

Some interesting wording here by Hafley on Sunday, probably just giving himself an out just in case he bolts, but still: "I do not plan on leaving."

Not sure who I'd take between Sitake and DeBoer, but this would run somewhat counter to the idea that people inside the building already know the hire.GrundleStiltzkin said: -

TBH, who fucking knows if Riley is a better coach than DeBoner or Campbell. He got handed the keys to a juggernaut(he helped create) and kept smashing. That's a wee bit different than winning in Ames, Iowa, for example. Obviously a grand slam hire but we still need to LIPO.

Tend to agree with this. There is an element of luck involved. College football is littered with “can’t miss” guys:dtd said:TBH, who fucking knows if Riley is a better coach than DeBoner or Campbell.

1) Harbaugh
2) Chip
3) Mora
4) Jimbo
5) Leach
6) Sark 1,2 & 3
All struggled. Java at the old wild west sports board hated Pete Carroll. Many did. Who knew Don James burned with intensity?
Nothing is for certain except maybe Saban and Urban. Programs have tried to buy championships for a long time. Bruce Snyder, Larry Smith and many others I can’t remember.
Not saying message board idiots don’t know anything. I suspect they have some insight. Maybe better than boosters and maybe some administrators. I’m saying maybe no one knows shit. Nothing is for certain.

Dabo was an assistant for mediocre and shitty teams at Clemson. The Mel Tucker hire was mostly mocked but he went 10-2 this year. I think the 9.5 mil a year contract will come back to bite him. Texas and Florida have multiple bad hires. It’s all a crapshoot.iDawg said:

USC hiring Riley is big time. That’s a hell of a hire. DeBoner would be a boring hire to many but there is plenty to be optimistic about. Same with Campbell, but he has a more well known name. Aranda would have been exciting but he also went 2-7 last year and he inherited a program that was winning under Matt Rhule.
Again, it’s a crapshoot. We’ll know in 3 years. I like DeBoner and have since his win at UCLA after also watching the game against Oregon. Places get better with him and worse when he left. It’s a good sign he’s a net positive as a coach. Sign me up. I don’t dislike Campbell either, but think his longer track record is also masking that DeBoner could have more potential. 67-3 is 67-3. He left that school and the comfort of it to get a big time job like UW and it could finally happen.
