The train comes off the tracks once Venables gets hired somewhere - and he will this year.

Could have said the same thing about Chad Morris leaving. Not only did Clemson survive, but they got better.

I am not saying Dabo is going to be Saban and win 17 NC's in a row, but Clemson is here to stay as long as Dabo is there. Clemson took a risk with a no-name coach and it worked.
