Alabama's assistants problem really isn't money. They can pay as much as anybody. The problem is that it is a miserable place to work. Absolute misery, and Saban apparently is a guy looking for somebody to blame, meaning one or more assistants every year. And I really wish we would stop...

Maybe, but probably not. Because Stoudt was supposed to do a quick two count and release. He held. And waited. And Golden came up and that was that. Good for us, bad for them.

Well, we agree on that anyway.

metoo.

He might have played a crappy game and it is hard to argue with two picks returned for TDs, the first of them thrown way too late, but Cliff Stoudt was the starting QB for most of that season, and there are those at Clemson who will argue that experience defined how Swinney rotated Lawrence into...

As I recall he was hurt cutting upfield unchallenged in an open field. Same with Snoddy, different injury. But getting hit did not impact it.

Well, intense, yes. Crazy, no. And he has had major offers. But consider the culture Swinney has installed. He had a kid in HS, great player, another below, supposedly a greater player, everybody winds up at Clemson and both Swinney and Venables get to live out their own dream: to coach their...

Sorry, but the important part about Clemson's rise was Swinney. It was an incredible hire by Terry Don Phillips, the AD, who picked a position coach over a coordinator as interim coach (though recommended by Bowden) because he attended all the practices and watched Swinney coach his receivers...

Well, about that. Coach P will be what Coach C tells him to be. That is how it works.

Nope.

No, not one of the games I found. If he is to have one of those games here, I vote for Georgia.

This much I think we can infer: no matter who the offensive coordinator is, he is going to run Collins's offense. He can call it what he will, but it is going to look an awful lot like Temple in 2017 and 2018. As in, mirrored. The difference, I hope, is in the athletes. I don't mind all that...

I do not like the shotgun as a base offense, never have, by anybody, and I once ran tailback in a single wing. But: particularly in short yardage I don't get lining up seven yards deep when you need to gain one yard. I know about the vision thing, and the ability to set up blocks and lanes. I...

thanks. Yes it was.

I have seen references to this without a full explanation. Exactly what was the play in question?

Do you mean on this particular day, or overall? I am not a day to day recruiting follower, but who did we get? (Or maybe what did we get?) Last I looked Clemson was stacked, and then I saw something about them getting the nation's No. 1 player, or maybe the No. 1 position player, or something...

does it ever not?

Ddn't say it was limited to that. But I will always believe it was a significant factor. He loves that offense too much to watch the limited sprint outs. As for depth at QB -- a raw, untested wishful depth -- I remember reading last season that Clemson had five QBs and four were 4-stars or...

Forget the "roster" QBs and remind me who actually played that position. Right. The guy who kept left, kept right and to whom passing was a suggestion. I don't think I was alone in seeing his sideline frustration. I have been a GT football fan a long time, but the last two years were brutally...

Ever see Nesbitt throw? I mean pass as in hit the receiver. Keeping it in the ballyard was sometimes a challenge for him, and he was not going to play QB at a Division 1 school, including Tech if Gailey had stayed. I loved Thomas and admired his knack for late-inning heroics. But he was a...
