I have no way of knowing either. Just the anecdote from a Clemson friend. Wish I could remember the player's name, but .. as to who is better, again all I ahve is anecdotal evidence. Johnson could and did outfox Foster with some regularity, and some games it was a great chess match to watch. Not...

Good thinking, Butch ... but which one of 'em would be in charge of public relations?

Strip the fluff from this and it means "He was fired." He will be rewarded with a nice job for keeping his mouth shut. Too bad, but truth is his defenses have suffered over the past couple or three years -- ever think we would roll up 49 points on a Foster defense? It also points out the hazards...

If he owns a Mercedes he can park it. But I think you are joshing us anyway.

I know, I know. I mean, they have a statue and everything, but yes, Rocky was make believe.

You do know Rocky Balboa was fiction, right?

Had Johnson coached a standard vanilla college offense even easily offended radio DJs would have liked him. It was the offense, always the offense, even when he proved his point with championships. People couldn't get past it.

Not being snarky, intentionally anyway, but why? I don't question well paid, but top dollar?

I am not a believer in all that bulletin board stuff. Once the game starts and you have been knocked sideways once who can remember? But I don't believe, whatever my reservations, that we will finish last. I still think six wins is a realistic goal. All that prediction stuff is evergreen...

The day that Johnson would agree to be OC for a guy with zero HC experience would see the earth tilted and billions falling into space.

It might be entertaining to mentally create such matchups, but let's not kid ourselves. 30 years have gone by and players are bigger and stronger and faster generally, and a great 1990 team is no going to beat a great 2019 team, not 22 deep. An individual here and there certainly, just not 11...

Alabama beats Georgia, loses big to Clemson, Alabama says Georgia is the toughest team it played. And Georgia lost to Texas in a bowl game. Texas has its eyes on the NC for certain. After four years of Braun at Tech, I am not going to believe zone pass blocking will flummox him.

There you go again, gumming up all the logical stuff.

I think they would go oh-fer and big time. After all, they are 30 years older.

And you can count the games won or lost at 0:00 on the fingers of one hand and have three left over for saluting. You go for two when the circumstances seem right or when you just gotta do it. My comparison was not to the length of a season, but to the troubling mindset that a game won or lost...

You do know you can lose a game in the first quarter, right? And it counts just as much? I say this because right now my burden of a MLB team apparently feels it can save its ammunition until September when games apparently count more. A point is a point.

I am with you to a point, but "Ferrari" seems a huge stretch. Clemson had not won anything since, what, 1981? And really had no idea how to win any more. (All the Bowdens seemed to fizzle out together.) Maybe the analogy is family sedan to sports car. I think the progression is more easily...

I don't claim to know but last week I read a piece by the Clemson AD regarding yet another project, and according to him, the football program is self-sustaining and gets no university money. I believe he said football grosses $50 million a year. Certainly IPTAY is a big player. (And the...

There does seem to be some resemblance to Swinney's approach at Clemson, but it is very hard work to get done what looks easy now at Clemson, that and the talent to hire and retain the right coaches and recruiters. Cleaning up after yourself is just a minor part of the theory, and not every...

Well, Alabama;s depth issues did not surface until Clemson 2, 3 and 4-deeps swarmed units that for whatever reason -- maybe it is just the way Saban coaches -- got no rest all year. Clemson meanwhile routinely got 60+ players in games, starting in the first quarter. So even with a depth issue...
