How come the ones who are always telling posters to "get over" the coaching change are always bringing up the coaching change?

Four words for you: Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa. You have a partial point, but the rules changes have changed the college game. Nowadays most of the top prospects graduate HS in December rather than May, enroll at their university in January, and immediately are absorbed into the weights...

I will try to do better.

Liberty, political philosophy aside, almost none of what you articulate is true. I am glad your children will be peachy because of your foresight, but guess what? Those millions you dismiss will be, as past generations have been, just fine. I want to believe I was a better athlete than my sons...

From what I have read about Dodd, the only fear he imparted was the players who feared they would let him down.

He wound up with a good job somewhere, I forget, but I was told as a result of the Clemson firing he changed his defensive concept and acknowledged the offenses, including his own team's, had changed, and he had to adapt. he sure waited a spell, though.

Swinney apparently had an unpleasant experience with a hire and now will not accept any assistants as part of a major hire. That hire itself was good, but he wanted a couple of assistant coaches, who weren't so good. And part of the reason for firing DC Steele when he hired Venables was that...

That, sustained, is directly out of the All Blacks culture and the "elite" programs he talked about, though who they might be outside of Clemson is uncertain. Others have tried it, but since it also involves such things as comity from top to bottom -- no backbiting coaches or coaches wives, or...

Probably the most expensive janitors the school ever hired. I hope, shoot I know I'm right, that the threat of cleaning up was not needed to motivate quality athletes to compete. I'm not into picking nits with everything the new guy does, because he will make his share of mistakes, just...

Good lord, man, you are reaching on this one.

My goodness. Whose toy did I break?

This whole thread is going to pot.

I don't believe 11 years absence for a second, even if the schools in question have lousy football programs. That doesn't even get past the smell test and Suddes(?) needs to take a deep breath and calm down.

Well, okay. But I've never smoke cigarettes, and I know they kill you. (I veered from smoking during my first Georgia summer of cropping tobacco. When you leave the field covered in black tar that has to be removed with kerosene, you don't have to be a GT man to know what is going in your lungs.)

I wouldn't argue at all with Saban's game coaching skills. He will make tough calls. Replacing his QB was one, and that pooch onside kickoff against Clemson in '16 I think it was, when Watson and Clemson were rolling and unstoppable on offense was masterful. It changed the momentum and Clemson...

Ouch. The "I Pay Ten Dollars a Year" Club has undergone serious inflation.

A fascinating study of a guy who could catch a ball thrown into the next county, and with our QBs that was good, but nothing that gave him time to think. But he was poetry gliding down field.
