Some people just hate where they're from...

Salina isn't *that* bad, my grandparents were from there and lived there quite a bit of their lives, I've spent a fair amount of time there. I certainly don't find Denver that much more appealing than say, Kansas City, but I'm not a fan of snow or hiking or pot, so I guess it's not up my alley.

From what I've come to understand about Venables he doesn't hate Salina and still has family that way. I do think it's entirely possible that he'll just be a career assistant... but Manhattan, Kansas is a decent city for its size, and is just close enough to Kansas City and Salina both to still enjoy most amenities one would need and be close to family. But he definitely won't go there this cycle, as fun as it would have been to have Clemson in chaos right now with their DC distracted with interviews and travel.
