Clemson Football: 5 dream candidates to replace Dabo Swinney many years from now

2. Brent Venables

Many who are around the Clemson football program frequently believe that Brent Venables is content with his role as a Defensive Coordinator.

While that may be true, that doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be interested if the job came available in Clemson.

Venables is the top defensive mind in the country and while he’s around the same age as Dabo Swinney, he still could be an effective and successful head coach should he choose to take over the job once Swinney retires.
