What makes you say that?

He's a defensive coordinator who has never hired anyone. I'm just not confident he's head coach material. It's much harder than just being a coordinator. As for his recruiting, he won't get to do as much is he's a head coach. Head coaches are pretty limited in how much actual recruiting they can do. Assistants have a lot more freedom.

Venables would be asked to assemble an entire staff. He's never hired anyone and has never been a head coach. I shudder at the thought of him going out to hire assistants. Who would want to work for a guy that's learning on the job?
