re: Biddy just said Morris will go after Venables

That being said, the rational side knows there's almost no way this realistically happens. Why would he leave Clemson where he's competing for NCs yearly for the same position at Arkansas? Crazier things have happened but I just don't see it.

Totally agree. Pulling this off is next to impossible, but it could happen.

I think there are a few things in our favor to pull this off....following my few things is my scenario for what may be going on right now.

1. We are not far from where he is from
2. He wants the Kansas State job. He would not be located far from that and it wouldn't be as far of a move for his family once he took that HC job.
3. He is very very close with Chad.

That is about all I can come up with. Last night I did find it odd that a coach from Clemson would get in with Arkansas fans and do the hog call. Something with that situation led me to believe something, I am just not sure what. I know we have had talks with him and they have been consistent talks. That is the reason I picked him to be the head coaching hire. So possibly this thing has been brewing for a while, Venables met and talked to a few folks before leaving Little Rock today and the deal was finalized.

With the time lapse here, it would be interesting to know if Sexton also represents Venables. If he does, this is where the issue of time right now is coming into play. We aren't working out one contract, we are working out two.
