How about Rick Venturi for DC?

[mesacat]

Bleeds or in the past bled Purple. Only 76 yrs young. Deserves a chance to coach his alma mater with better institutional support than his first merry-go-round. Outstanding DC in NFL for many years. Currently doing broadcasting . One wonders how often Stand Pat avails himself of the wisdom that Dr. Hank, Barney or Venturi could provide?

Call Fitz, ASAP. He may be open to talk.

Rick is highly respected in the NFL and the Indianapolis area as an astute coach and analyst. He and Cheri live in a beautiful lake home here in Indianapolis and a good part of the year on St. Pete Beach. His retirement is quite secure and and they are greatly enjoying life. He actually would be a tremendous asset as a consultant and after almost 60 years you can believe he still bleeds Purple. Fabulous person and football mind.

Call me crazy… but if we’re going to drag a septuagenarian out of retirement, why wouldn’t it be Hankwitz?

Because Hank doesn't want to unretire???

That ship has sailed.

I'm I the only one here who remembers why Rick Venturi was fired? (Hint: it wasn't only because he was 1-31-1, although that certainly didn't help his job security.)

Accusations of racism. No idea if true or not.

We are not going to hire someone almost 80 years of age.

Want to hire an Alumni? Former OC? OL Coach? Former NU Captain - who played FOR Venturi - I wonder if he could be an OC candidate?

I’d take him in a second as s stop gap solution,

Is DC a tougher job than POTUS? The two leading candidates for 2024 are older than Venturi. How old was Snyder when he turned around KSU in his second stint as HC? Ability not age should be the criteria.

Apparently it is in Evanston.

Pat Ryan needs to cut Leonhard a massive check to Make Evanston Great Again!

Same with Pont

Same with the SEC from 1896 until 1974 (and way beyond). So do most school's even today.

If POTUS ever loses the "Football," then we're all in a world of hurt.

The Spirit of Parsegian is still alive somewhere.

My jaw physically dropped reading that Rick Venturi is only 76 (and still theoretically within coaching age).

He is doing well and still very active in football related activities.
