I was suprised Venables to KState didnt happen.
He should stay at Clemson, wait till Dabo takes over for Saban, then take the Clemson job.
I think it was a Kansas State problem not a Brent problem.
One of my customers is a KState alum and is the equivalent of the directors level for the cyclone club, basically the highest without giving millions. He is probably the closest I'd ever get to inside info to KState football.
Anyway, he said the money was there but there were some other big money donators that didn't want Brent because he'd clean house including getting rid of Sean, who is Bill Snyder's son (edit: not Dan Snyder). Brent supposedly said he'd want to run the team his own way and a lot of people weren't happy about that.
No idea if it's actually true but that guy is the biggest KSU fan I know and is successful enough to afford the big money donations. He even invited me to a suite for the ISU game a couple years back (damn company ethics policy wouldn't let me). So I'm inclined to believe him.
