Time to check in on this thread again.
I didn't see anything this year to shake my belief that Venables wasn't much more than Gilligan on the S.S. Bob Stoops:

He can recruit. But can he recuit to KSU? And I know being a head coach is a different skill set than being a coordinator, but he strikes me as even less cut-out to be HC.
No thanks.
Well, great coordinators don't always make great coaches, and if Venzy could hire good assistants, his actual coaching ability would matter much less. It would be pretty great to get an actual recruiter at Kansas State.
