Brent Venables said he’s not interested in leaving Clemson for a head coaching job.

The Tigers’ defensive coordinator has been rumored as a candidate to fill one of the many coaching jobs expected to arise this offseason, but he said this week he isn’t planning on leaving his post at Clemson.

"I’m not interested in any other jobs,' Venables said, The Post and Courier reported. "I got a great job. I love what I’m doing. Love where we’re at, love who I’m working for. Like Coach [Dabo] Swinney has said multiple times, I think we’re just getting started. That’s kind of my response to that."

Last December, Chad Morris vacated his spot as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator to become head coach at SMU.

So far this year, there are 13 FBS openings, and many more are expected to come available. Venables' name has been floated around for some of the jobs. A Kansas State graduate and former Wildcats assistant, his name is often mentioned as a possible replacement for Bill Snyder once Snyder, 76, decides to retire. FootballScoop.com reported Tuesday that Snyder plans to coach in 2016.

Venables' name will continue to come up when jobs are being discussed because of the way he’s turned around the Clemson defense. Venables, who earns $1.35 million at Clemson, is the architect of a Tigers defense that ranks No. 2 in defensive efficiency. Clemson finished No. 1 in total defense in 2014. When Venables was hired at Clemson before the 2012 season, he inherited a defense that finished 71st the year prior and allowed 70 points in the Orange Bowl.

At some point, it seems likely Venables, 44, will move on to a head coaching job. It’s what happens at elite programs -- assistants leave to become head coaches. However, Clemson doesn’t look as if it will need to worry about that this offseason, which is good news on several fronts.

With quarterback Deshaun Watson coming back in 2016, the No. 1 Tigers could make another playoff run next season. The defense is young, but already among the country’s best and would be even better in 2016. However, several key defensive players could leave early for the NFL, so Venables could be asked to rebuild the unit for a second consecutive season.

"Nah, I’ve got a great job today. I’m hoping I got it tomorrow," Venables said when asked if he is interested in a head coaching job this offseason. "You deal with things as they come and are put in front of you, but I’m always a believer in you’re a week away from humility in this profession, so value what you have, take advantage of the opportunities you have now."
