Randy on drive time rumor

[Pork Ranger]

RR is like Anchorman,  he will read anything,  off that live fan feedback line.  Verbatim

He's more like Brick Tamlin

[Deep Shoat]

What was his Hogville username then? We are all very credible around here.

It makes no sense and could spell potential career suicide for Venables.
Why would you leave a juggernaut you helped build at Clemson - to come to a bad Arkansas defense.
Then if he isn't hugely successful here - he no longer is considered one of the best DC coordinators in college football.
Just can't see it.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Venables at 2.1 mill for 5 years

You have comprehension issues

People said the same thing when he left juggernaut OU to go to a bad Clemson. The dude isn't coming, but it wouldn't be the craziest thing he's ever done.

No they didn't. Venables was ran out of OU

I have no source, but I am certain BV is not leaving Clemson.  Would make no sense at all, and I don't think anyone even thinks it's a remote possibility.

The whole thing got started when somebody sent it in via Drive Time Sports' "live fan feedback" and Rainwater simply read it on air like he does during his show.

OTOH if he came here and built a juggernaut defense he would be considered the greatest DC of all time....hands down.

But yeah, it's Chavis.  At least if that doesn't fall through during final negotiations.

The only fact I know is Morris asked for more money for hiring assistants earlier this week.  I posted that two days ago and of course I was mocked.  Today the Venebles talk began.  Coincidence?  Who knows....  But I do know for a fact more money was requested.

I didn't see your post from two days ago, but I believe what you say about the money request.  I just don't believe that somebody sending a rumor about BV into Randy Rainwater is something to be taken seriously.

Was it to buy out Chavis from A&M ?

[(notOM)Rebel123]

No they didn't. Venables was ran out of OU

And Bob hired his brother as DC...nepotism at its best.

[duckman]

One observation:

If Chavis was already a done deal why ask for more money THIS WEEK?

With all due respect...How you are spending time on HV with that "avatar" at home is beyond me.
Kudos my friend.

Maybe I should have sent a PM

when LSU DC declined A&M , more money to pay buyout or was the money requested for money to entice other DC .

Maybe he was redecorating his office, but for the second time in this thread Venables ain't coming.

We can speculate all we want, but we should know by the time the dead period is over. Relax fellas.

Here, let me show you....

We have a new addition.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Think of the coaching talent UA could buy or at least make a run at if they were paying Jabba The Bert $6mil to sit on his ass and ruin seat cushions instead of $15+

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Ha! Awesome. Congrats! Great looking Santa right there.
Good for you, buddy.

No doubt! Certainly changes one's perspective on things.  Nothing  like it.

Maybe when pigs fly... We have some fast piggies on our team, but they aren't flying yet.

Ahem...

Exactly.

Especially if he is already working on the hill.

[mckinneyhog5]

We could of had BV as our HC but we sold out to get Gus. Couldn't get everyone on the same page for BV to come here. He sure the hell ain't coming here to be DC.

You sure of that?

[Mike Irwin]

As crazy as it sounds I must admit that I've never dismissed the Venables rumors as total nonsense. There are things about the alleged Chavis hire that don't add up. It's probably him but I would not be shocked if it's not.

[Philip Seaton]

Venables at 2.1 mill for 5 years

Considering Chavis is ALREADY on the job.

For the OTHER assistants.

My big thing is why wait this long?  Doesn't seem to pass the smell test, but who knows...

[duckman]

Could be, I never said what it was for....  Timing is odd though.

[HogNTX]

If it is the former OU DC then at least he has a reasonable buyout.

Several years back, I think it would be more likely, because it seemed like coordinators wanted to "prove" themselves and get out of the "shadow" of a successful HC and prove themselves at another location.  But...we've started to see that isn't necessary with the latest moves, including Kirby Smart to UGA DESPITE many people suggesting that he was nothing more than Saban's "yes man, puppet boy." 

The clincher for me was when his son committed.  To me, that was the writing on the wall, because if he was headed to Arkansas I'm sure he would have waited and followed him.  Stranger things have happened....but not much stranger than that!

Morris has said he wants to name everyone at the same time.  No one has been announced yet.

But didn't he pretty much get run out of OU?

[arkansasbred]

Ahhh now here is the Hogville I know and love!

[Sivad]

is this real?

Since it's "according to Randy Rimwatter" I'd say NO.

[Richard Davenport]

Chavis is the man.
