Brent Venables could be our next DC

[EaglesVols91]

OK fired their OC today and he’ll be next if things don’t turn around. Would hate to lose Banks, but would be happy for him if he got a HC job (if he wants to be a HC) because there will be some teams calling once the season is over. Venables would be a good hire

Lots of ifs BUT very possible imo

our DC is pretty good

Right which is why I said IF he left for a HC gig

A lot of Clemson fans want him back there, too.

I believe I heard that Seth Littrel the newly fired oc was in Heupel’s wedding. He will probably end up on our staff.

 

[BDP!]

Would be a good hire if available. William Inge would probably be in consideration as well.

Please, make it stop. We have several months of football left.... Just STOP!

I’m not a fan of hiring friends and family.

This is a message board meant for discussion and I already stated there are a lot of “Ifs” to this. Calm your tits

 

[madbamahater]

No to Venables.

Nor am I, but he will be getting paid by Oklahoma, and It wouldn’t shock me if we hired him as an analyst. He has a lot if experience including several yesrs as a head coach at north texas

In case nobody is paying attention and wants to be defensive, Banks was named to the East Carolina shortlist today. Probably should have lead with that OP.

I don’t want to lose Banks either, but he likely gets offered several HC jobs after the season. If we do lose him and OU fires Venables I would love for us to snag him.

I didn’t realize that happened. Thanks for letting us know

 

[DC_Vol]

Does Tim Banks want to be a head coach? I don’t know one way or the other. I didn’t realize Banks had coached under Botch.

 

[VolBricks]

I do not think Banks is leaving this year. I think he knows that he and Heupel can win a championship together.

 

[BigOrangePhoenix]

No to Venables.

Why? Proven record.

He would leave for the right opportunity.

 

[chas]

they did not fire venables it was the the OC .we have a very good DC so their is no job for venables. right now everyone should be very happy with our defense staff. GBO

I mean Cutcliffe left us right before the NC game, so if the right opportunity comes then why wouldn’t he?

I seriously wonder if some of you only read thread titles instead of the actual OP.

What????

I didn't know that either.

 

[EaglesVols91]

What????

I didn't know that either.

Me either. I looked it up and appears he was under Butchie from 2007-2011 at Central Michigan & Cincinnati

I would love to believe you. So think about this and talk it out.

Banks makes $1.2 this season, plus bonuses for bowls, playoffs etc. So he could end up making more like 1.5 or 1.6 depending on how far they go.

mike houston was making $2.3 before they fired him. Since the
y fired him, i would expect them to try and get an upgrade and will probably have to pay up for their choice.

So let’s say they offer him $3 million.

Imo, It will be hard to turn that down considering he could probably be in a contract around $15 million in 5 years. If he has a good agent, he could basically get most of that guaranteed with a solid buyout clause.

It would take him twice as long maybe ~10 years to make that here. Plus who knows if he’ll still have a job then. Things can change quickly.

Money talks, especially when you come from nothing like he did. He grew up in a not so great part of Detroit. $15mil would be life changing to him and his family. Plus if its guaranteed, im not sure how he can say no.

Maybe he doesn’t want that job, but if they offer enough money, they could change his mind. You never know what you might do until someone pulls out the checkbook.
