I would feel better if he was aware of his weaknesses, the biggest of which seems to be that he is a just a middlin' game day coach. He seems to be a good recruiter -- but let's give that a couple of years to see if it is mostly just a new offense -- as some of his post-kickoff decisions in...

This is the post of the year and I don't think one will be better in the next 10 months. Sometimes someone just puts things into perspective.

For pete's sake. Back when Saturday Night Live was lights out funny, fall down laughing funny -- as Chevy Chase would do -- they had a news segment in which the weekly pronouncement was a takeoff on the breathless bulletins flooding us concerning Spain's dictator Franco's comatose state: "Franco...

What did the win in 2018? Was it ... 2? Look, am a fan only in the sense that I want to see the ACC get a lot tougher, top to bottom, even FSU and Miami, the Houston Astros of the ACC. But Brown did a great job in nailing that program back together after Fedora wrecked it. I admire good...

Yeah, right. The desperation resulted in seven wins and a bowl game, and a sudden resurgence in recruiting dominance in NC. (By the way, NC did not "take him back". UNC went after him. And now UNC is the Coastal favorite and will contend with Clemson for the ACC title and a spot in the national...

Now see, that Tech arrogance peeps up again. Why in the world would you think that? Cutcliffe, a coach I do not like because, well, he is Duke, can coach, and Cutcliffe can recruit. And Duke is every bit the beacon of excellence in liberal arts as GT is to technology. Plus they got a better...

I like this. A lot.

And you are. Johnson said it on several occasions, or was quoted as saying it anyway. I did not hear it personally, but being half a world away sometimes is a hindrance.

So you're saying that schools down there haven't changed since my time, long ago, when they were essentially day care repositories?

At the risk of being called, literally, a skeptic: would anyone expect a football coach hired at a university with high academic standards to look about and say, well, this really sucks, and we got to change this because there is no way I can recruit 82 young men who can both study and play? So...

You are leaving in an alternate universe. Since the first couple, maybe three, growth years, Swinney has become accepted as an excellent game day and preparation coach. Talk assistants all you wish, but there is no longer anyone questioning his credentials. Well, maybe from one person. Part of...

My poorly made point was supposed to be that there are a bunch of "SEC level" players in the ACC, and for a GT coach to belittle the talent level by pointing out one player who was "SEC level" shows an astonishing lack of appreciation for the job he has been handed. Moreover the post was...

So you are 5'2"?

As unreliable as individual and class ratings may be -- are -- it is still better to have highly rated recruits than lower level. The law of averages, if nothing else, applies. Yes, a lot of those 5-stars will play like 3s and a lot of the 3s might play like 5s. Age, development, coaching...

"Returning production" from bad '19 teams. It seems to mean they didn't score many points but the people who scored them are back.

I think he was listed at 5-11. Just like a certain president claims to be 6-3. If Justin Thomas was 5-11 I won the 100 meters at the last Olympics. And finished second in the 200 only because I was tripped.

Sad to say I don't. So tell me please.(And Butker can kick for another century and he will never hit a FG to eclipse that one against Georgia. Never.)

Yep. I just saw that Jeff Scott, late OC at Clemson now HC at South Florida, declared every position open, including, including all those with returning starters, and said he would watch no 2019 tape. (And oddly enough apparently has talked to more potential donors than Charlie Strong did in...

11-3 and pounding MSU in the Orange Bowl says no.

I remember one fade route in particular. As does Clemson. Thanks.
