Venables was called out by several coaches for it.

Ryan Day said this about Venables in 2020:

quote:

He seems to always know exactly what the other team is doing in terms of the plays that they’re running, each play. Seems to call the right defense into that play a lot. Why that is, I don’t really know. But I can tell you he’s been doing it for a really long time.


An anonymous ACC coach told Pete Thamel the following:

quote:

They are incredible at it. When you play them, it’s not an even playing field, they have so many [analysts] who are able to do that.


Another ACC coach told Thamel:

quote:

If they don’t have a plan for Clemson’s signal stealers, then Clemson is going to know every play. They should be in the KGB stealing communications, they’re that good.


Another coach:

quote:

The thing to me that they do best is that they do it year-to-year. They’ve developed a tradecraft and a systematic way to do it. And they are really, really good at it.


Then Miami OC, Rhett Lashlee, went public when asked about it in 2020:

quote:

Clemson is known well for doing it.

When LSU played Clemson in the 2020 College Football Playoff, sources said the staff suspected Clemson of sending people to scout them in the SEC championship game and Peach Bowl. Brent Venables, then Clemson's defensive coordinator, has long been the focal point of sign-stealing speculation, according to multiple sources, though no one has publicly accused him of anything illegal. After LSU's first three offensive drives ended with three punts and one first down, sources said a frustrated coach Ed Orgeron told offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger, "Change it up." Upon changing signals, LSU scored touchdowns on five of its next six drives.
