Looks Like Brent Venables is OK Bound
- Thread starter NA Gamecock
- Start date
And with Elliott possibly going to Virginia or Duke, things don’t look good in tiger town.
If true we're about to find out just how good of a coach Dabo is. He's finally dealing with instability. It will be extremely difficult to find a coach the calibre of Venables. I think Clemson will struggle over the next few years especially if a few of these ACC teams take it up a notch.
This is great news for Gamecock fans.

That is fine because those two are not close to venables and elliott!
I think he was there for Gus and then when he got fired Morris was without a job
Is Venables “get back guy” going to be a part of the package?
Ah. Yeah that makes sense. I completely misread something on either Twitter or a message board last night
my bad.
If Muschamp is to become a DC again, UGA is a good fit because he will always have talent to work with. Muschamp is not good at making steak out of hamburger. But, he can make steak sizzle. His inability to make players overachieve makes him among the most overrated DC's I have ever seen. Any decent DC can look great with Georgia's talent.
Anybody who replaces Venables will be a step backwards for clemson. But I think Morris is a better OC than Elliott. So, to me that would overall be a "wash".
As a UVa fan, I hope they don’t get Elliott. Tates don’t like him as an OC, nothing to suggest he’s ready to be a HC. I said on Metabook before I had any idea about Bronco and Lincoln and Kelly, Virginia needs to pay their HC 10 million, plus they arguably have more money than Southern Cal and LSU combined, and stop jerking around with these career assistants. Hire TE, be right back here in 6 years or less.
Change management, the ability of any good leader. We’re about to see if Debo has it.
I just don’t get people. Maybe it’s just me and I’m in that stage of life where retirement is just down the road and job security is more important. Why would this guy want to leave a program and place like Clemson. He’s making millions and living in a place where the cost of living is cheap not to mention, upstate SC is a beautiful place. Can this guy even coach a team? I know coordinators like Kirby can because they had a great mentor. I hope he‘s learned something from Dabo but I somehow seem to doubt that Dabo is anything more than a stuffed shirt.
He'll be makings making millions raised to the millions... plus his kid is finished school... not much keeping him in tatertown.
Wonder what, if any, this move will have on defensive recruits, as well as Venables' son. I could see some players bailing. Clemson is in the eye of a perfect storm right now.
Not saying you are wrong but Kirby would be the laughing stock if he let Dablow take Dan so he could seat Mushbrain in that spot. Mushbrain is not 1/10th the DC Dan is. Mush is like FM in that he cannot coach players either.
His oldest. He has a younger son at clemson. I would assume he follows dad though.
You think Norman Oklahoma has a high cost of living?
If he gets the job ESPN is reporting Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby could be on his way to Norman too.
To your last point, yes. Dumbo is a stuffed shirt.
You know, I think having Chad Morris as OC and QB coach limits their ceiling, I hope they do it.
Not that the cost of living is a factor at that earning level. At this point in his career he may want to know if he can be a great head coach. He is fixed financially so it is not a big risk. At least he will find out instead of wondering about how he would do
I will believe all of this when it is actually announced.
If Dabo was a stuffed shirt they wouldn't have stationed success. He established their culture and upholds their expectations, does a good job recruiting and is an excellent judge of coaching talent, though it seems his relationships may cloud his judgment on that somewhat. I hate how good he is, but he is.
Elliot was good when they had talent because he didn't try to overthink things with exotic plays like Morris. He kept it simple and put his playmakers in space and let them make plays.
Morris is looking for style points with his offense, and that can get the best of you at times.
TBH, I think the better half of the co-OC’s Clemson had was Jeff Scott. That goes for recruiting and play calling.
Everyone needs to root for him to be successful at USF, because if he gets fired he’ll be a thorn in our side at CU again.
Did they draw straws to see what kind of play would be next, or did the simply alternate?
If I was that OU brass, I would check out the hotel rooms, bring food tasters along and make certain the vehicles for transport look to be in good condition. I don't put anything beyond Dabo to screw up their visit.
This is Correct, Clemson success begins and ends with Dabo now days!! Dabo’s decision to pay Chad Morris ( OC ) 7 figures started a snowball effect in College FB concerning OC and DC pay scales. People judge him as a coach from a X’s and O’s Standpoint and it could be justifiable. As a CEO or Business Man running the show at Clemson, he has exceeded every and all expectations. There is a reason Dabo present day at the age of 51 is already a HOF head coach. Dabo’s Drive to win period on and off the field is second to none. Is he the best HC every, No! Is he the best HC today, NO! Is he a legit proven successful HC today, No doubt!!!

Negative, I would have to go back and dig it out but Elliot was in the booth and called all the plays. Scott schemed and was on the field.
His son Tyler just finished his freshman year as a safety. Also has a few younger daughters that have grown up there. But Oklahoma is a dream job for him so he’s gone if offered
