My guess is Mike Reed given the other defensive guys are new.

Reed is probably the weakest link on our staff

not saying fire the guy. he's ok as a position coach and a pretty good recruiter I just don't believe he'd be the guy to turn the defense over to should Venebles leave. if a team is going to beat us, they'll attack our corners. it's the weakness of our team (still not horrible, mind you). Dabo gave him some help by putting Mickey on the safeties and that area has improved despite having some youth back there.

If Venables does take a HC job I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Reed is named the DC.

Brent is staying. His son is committed to playing for his dad at Clemson. Plus I think he has another son still in high school.

I'm pretty sure Spud's both being sarcastic and trolling the coots here.

Coach Snyder, given how Venables feels about him(and pretty much all his former players feel about him), it may be hard to turn down.

I really think we hire a proven DC not somebody within. Not sure who though but many would love the talent we have to work with. I doubt BV leaves though but maybe he wants his own team. I know he and Dabo think differently in some things. I do think he prefers to just coach D though. Being a head coach is completely different I would imagine.

CDS wouldn’t be our Head Coach now. Venables said he was looking for a place where he could feel like part of the family when he came here. He found that place. He’s not leaving any time soon

If Dabo used that mindset Chad or Brent would have never came to Clemson. You cannot hire within for every position.

Just a thought here, but Chris Rumph was DC at Florida, and is looking for a new job. Would not be a bad hire.

That one would be an absolutely atrocious hire. Rumph has stuck his knife in Clemson's back repeatedly on the recruiting trail. It wasn't one episode or five or ten. Rumph is a self-promoter and a scumbag about on the same level as old Whammy Ward there at South Carolina. Trust me, Rumph isn't coming back to Clemson; those bridges are well and truly burned. Actually I'm pretty sure they're burned at most all of his prior stops too....

He will go outside hire unless Coach V stays another 3 or 4 years.
