Here's a thought

"I obviously want to go to a school where I have a good relationship with the coach. That's the big thing. I am looking for a place with a good family environment and a good culture. Good coaches that don't treat their players like employees and they actually care about their guys. I am looking for a very good academic school, and a school with a good winning tradition."
Hmmm
It's a shame he didn't mention playing for a school that felt like family. ??

Clemson or K-State would be excellent choices for what he'S looking for... have a son at K-State (not playing sports) and could not be happier with the environment or education opportunities. And I say that as a die-hard Clemson alum. Only downside to going to K-State is that Bill Snyder won't likely be there to lead that program for Jake's time there. Programs in transition can be tough places.

I can honestly see why a kid wouldn't want to go to

The same school his dad coached at. I have respect for someone like that who wants to be his own man, and not be known as "the coaches kid".
But that's a tough situation for him, not for me, to worry about.

On the other hand, maybe he knows something we don't about where his dad will be coaching in a couple of years. Maybe that is why he is interested in K State?

Live here in Kansas not far from k state they have a passionate fan base and the city revolves around the campus and the last part is what worries me...Venables said when he came to Clemson he wanted to be a head coach and was looking to expand his brand so to speak but has the option of being picky and wanting the right situation .....he hasn't been listed with all the coaching vacancies like the Chad but I believe if K State came calling he might strongly consider taking that job....

I don't think he'd go to KState

He's going to want to go somewhere with great facilities and a budget for him to bring in great assistant coaches, preferably in a fertile recruiting ground.
I guarantee you he still talks to Chad Morris, who went to SMU because they promised to commit to football. SMU is building new facilities, has a football support staff almost as big as Clemson's and the Chad even has a helicopter for recruiting. SMU is already vastly improved from when Chad arrived and should really explode next season when transfers Trey Quinn and Rafe Peavey become eligible.
Venables will want a situation similar to or better than Morris's one where he is set up for success rather than trying to beat the odds.

Everything he said he wanted in a School is everything all recruits who committed to Clemson say is the reason they committed.
Plus his Dad is a coach so there is the family environment ....Go Tigers...

Academics, Speed & Being His Own Man
Oct 29, 2016, 4:15 PM

A few thoughts:
- If he's as tough as the old man he can make it anywhere? But how does Jake define "making it"?
- Toughness is unquestioned, and strength can be increased. Speed, not as much. Can he compete with Tre Lamar and Shaq Smith?
- In my unsolicited opinion, there is value in being his own man. Growing away from Mom & Dad just like other kids.
- Does he want to be an NFL player? Or college/NFL coach?
- There is nothing wrong with playing football at an Ivy League school or Vandy, Stanford, Tulane, SMU or other top academic schools. Then circling the wagons to work for Dad's staff in 5 or 6 yrs as a grad asst if coaching is in future.
A lot of variable to consider. Whatever path you choose Jake, good luck and the best to you and your family.
