Venables says UA has made contact

FAYETTEVILLE -- Clemson assistant coach Brent Venables made a splash Monday in Little Rock on the eve of his anniversary of winning the Broyles Award.

Venables said during an appearance on the radio show Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly that his representatives have been contacted by the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville during its search for a head coach.

Mattingly asked Venables whether he was a candidate for the job, which was vacated Nov. 24 when UA interim athletic director Julie Cromer Peoples fired Bret Bielema.

"Yeah, that's a tough thing to answer," Venables said.
