Sports Illustrated said this last year:
His team not only won the national title, but he also won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant. The 46-year-old is beloved by players and has always had a strong reputation as a recruiter. He’s made it known he’s not going to jump at just any chance to be a head coach, since he is very happy with how things are now. One intriguing twist could come at Texas Tech, where Kliff Kingsbury is on the hot seat and Red Raiders AD Kirby Hocutt is one of Venables’s closest friends.
Would be a home run hire IMO, but no one is mentioning him on the board with all the Littrell obsession.
