He knows he doesn't stand a chance moving to the SEC. Very smart move on his part.

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.
