Based on how stone dead quiet this has been, with the regular "in the know" people not even knowing, I'm betting it's Venables and there won't be any announcement until after the ACC championship game.

Venables also said he wasn’t interested. Yeah yeah coach speak or whatever. But to me, I don’t see him going there.

In what way would a guy that failed miserably as a Big 12 DC be a home run hire?

Uh, Venables was the guy that was there when OU had a pretty salty defense. Once he left, they fell apart when it was just Stoops running the show. Last I heard, he wasn't doing too badly at Clemson either.

I have very little faith that Tech will make a hire that will turn the program around.  When it comes to football they just fuck everything up.

Two coaching hires, one of which was made by people not involved with the current one, doesn't really constitute a trend in my mind.

It's really not that difficult to do, even at my age. Geez. You are stupid.

kirby has fucked up a few times in the overall program though.

beard

hires that didn't damage the program but didn't work out:
kliff

dumb hires:
billy gillispie 
tubby smith

I can't get past Illinois coming in at #13 with a $5m salary to Lovie Smith.  4 total wins.  2 total conference wins.  $5 million.

Was going to post the same.  Also, Brian Kelly's total compensation can't be right, he must be getting at least $2-3 million from outside the university.

That was my exact thought when I saw the list.   That one and Fischer were the two glaring knucklehead moves

the Tubby Smith was not a bad hire at all he took a program that had been burned and buried and made it competitive and then he chose to leave

I doubt Beard would have come to Tech if Tubby had not made Tech a much better team so quickly from the disaster after Billy G

 

and with Lovie Smith I believe there was something published that the contract extension changed up the future buyout so it might not cost as much to fire him after/during next season

Tubby Smith rebuilt our men's basketball program from scratch.  How was he a bad hire?

1,5,9,3,2 in the past five years is good? Ya think?  Would that be gooder or not gooder than us?

Sorry, are you really saying holgo would leave WVU for a $100k raise?  As in less than 3%?

 

also, Jimbo fishers buyout on that chart brings the lulz for sure

 

 

No, just pointing out that Tech already pays more so salary isn't an issue. 

Other rumored factors: Holgo and WV admin don't really care for each other

Also: Tech is located in Texas - always a plus - even if it's in Lubbock. 😎
