Question: Does any DC hire immediately following Venables here

last more than 3 seasons? Fans loved Brent like Danny after all, and I'd say from activity here even more than Dabo for some.

Would a DC make a lateral move then like Allen did now to follow behind a Broyles winner and beloved D icon? At a top program under a tremendous spotlight?

If you're unhappy where you are and offered a big raise, it's not a lateral move.

I think this is a great question. Venables, in my opinion, was the best there ever was for a D Coordinator. So this is a similar question to asking who would want to coach at Alabama after Saban? Sure, they'll find someone, but are they almost doomed to fail simply by following the GOAT?

No. Because there was only one, and he did not make it.

Hope that helps.

Maybe if V just left, it would be an issue - but an improvement on D after

following venables had 0 to do with goodwin getting fired, having the 16th ranked rushing D in the ACC will do that for you. If we had fielded a decent defense, we would have beaten the #####, and TEXAS, and goodwin would probably still be here. It is on DAbo as much as Goodwin because He knew Goodwin had never played a down of football and had 0 experience. This was a catastrophic gamble that cost Clemson big time.
