Does anyone else think Brent Venerables talked Mike Jones

into transferring just to get more playing time for his own kid? This seems to be a common theme at Clemson under Dabo...nepotism. I have heard through inside sources that Tee Higgins left early last year because he knew he would lose snaps to Dabo's kids. I love that Dabo works hard to get people PT who work hard in practice, but coaches elevating their own kids up the depth charts seems a little extreme. I won't be surprised if we see more transfers because of this.

Jones had significant playing time so I'm not sure what happened. However, I could see some other players transferring if they continue to sit behind a liability like Jake Venables.

Jake seem to do pretty well against teams that were not as good as we were. He did not do well against the better teams. As much desire and physical strength etc. he’s really slow and he’s not quick

Mike Jones doesnt play the same position as any of the coaches kids, so I would say "no". Mike Jones is an outside linebacker, and Jake is a middle linebacker.
Probably more related to Trotter, and other talented linebackers we have coming in. But, I do agree that a transfer for a starting player is odd.

Haha. If Jake lines up at outside linebacker, I will agree that we are in trouble. If Venables was really worried about his sons playing time though, he probably wouldnt have let Skalski come back. That is who is going to steal his playing time.
You might be right though, he could have a real future at punter. Crossing my fingers that he is left footed.

I have no inside knowledge of playing time for any one. I’m not a coach by any stretch ,but for anyone to suggest Dabo’s boy beating out or getting playing time over Tee Higgins is absurd. I’m sure they have some mop up playing time that someone else could have got. Brent’s son ,in my opinion ,wasn’t gonna beat out Jones either.

No, they don't play the same position. Tee was not competing for any reps with Will either, although there have been multiple back up's that could have used the snaps to develop over the past three years. No idea what the environment is like on the team - I'm not acquainted with any of the players. When I was in school back in the stone age and asked about coaches kid's on the team it was a sore spot. Same goes for nepotism in any workplace. It has the potential to create a negative environment. Hope that doesn't become the case but geez, Clay S now on the horizon. When will it stop?

Jan 26, 2021, 12:51 AM

and deserves the playing time he gets. We are fortunate to have BV as our DC and he’s one of the best in the country. We might’ve left JV in a bit too much vs Notre Dame with Skalski out but Jake did strip the ball to save a TD and played hard. Skalski is just hard to outperform! I still think he got a raw deal on the “targeting” call but that horse is beaten to death now.
