He'll walk in with his National Championship ring and get instant attention from top recruits.

As long as he's given plenty of $$$$ to go hire top coaches/recruiters for his staff he'll be as good a HC hire as most others that haven't Won a Natty.

He's also been recruiting many of the same areas we recruit so he'll already know many of the kids we want.

Unless Clemson loses Saturday night, he will be unable for the early signing period. He has high school age sons who are going to play at Clemson. He has at least another couple of years of the run that is ongoing at Clemson that will only increase his market value. If the timing were right, I think that he might be interested in the KSU job, good luck on that.

Lastly, our AD probably has no idea who he is.

It’s something Venables said that he’s entertained off and on throughout his career, going back to when he interviewed at Missouri just after winning his other national title, at Oklahoma in 2000.
But look at the setup where he is: Another raise is expected to take Venables to the precipice of $2 million per season. He says he loves running the many trails in what is one of the more beautiful college communities in the country. His son, Jake, a linebacker, has committed to play for the Tigers. His younger son, Tyler, is a blossoming high school star in the area. His younger daughters are immersed in the local little league scene.
In other words, it’s going to take something uniquely special to pry away Venables. Those close to Venables say that he’s even slow to show interest in eventually replacing Snyder at Kansas State because of how difficult it would be following the coach he calls “the Bear Bryant of Kansas State.”

Venables said he’s tracked peers’ career moves, seeing some regret their decision.
“Now they’re a head coach, making more money than what they were — but they’re totally miserable in their own skin,” Venables said. “I can run out of fingers counting those guys.
“Why would I rock this boat? I know what’s on the other side. It’s a difficult profession. A lot of things have to be just right. And, to me, it’s just right, right now. I have what so many others wish they had.”

Thanks for posting excellent info my friend.

If he's soon expected to earn $2 Million per year then we offer $5 Million or $6 Million per year with a guaranteed 5 or 6 year contract to give him plenty of time to rebuild our roster and to also build solid depth at every position.

We simply make our offer almost impossible to refuse.

At least we should give it a solid try before risking laMe getting us into NCAA hell.

We'll also look desperate and like total morons for hiring laMe a 2nd time after he royally screwed us before.

Since we couldn't get some of the hot shots such as Kelly or Gruden I believe Venables is the best option. This guy absolutely has the right demeanor and Clemson plays excellent defense. I believe he would be a homerun and would be able to close the deal in high school player living rooms for recruiting. Make him the second highest paid coach in the SEC. He can get the job done.
