Well, okay then. Let's just call the clowns up and forfeit right now. Or make it a scrimmage. As long as they promise not to hurt our poor boys. Most everybody is aware of Clemson's strength, and there will be little dropoff next season. And we have a new coach and maybe a new offense. And...

I am an artist. And you presume to edit me? As for the WR, yes. It has hardly been noticed this year that a major improvement in Clemson has been at the WR slots. They were not very good there last year and that, along with Kelly Bryant's weaknesses, killed them against Alabama. (They had this...

Well, it is not like we have not been routed by Clemson before, is it? I sure don't want to hire a coach with a system for one game. I don't think the fan base will accept a continued spread option by a Johnson acolyte. Too bad, but what it produced at the end was mediocre results. As for the...

Wouldn't you be very surprised if, after the decline in the program and the increasing loud protests about the offense, the offense was retained? I think it likely it will be the RPO so popular now. Now, new guy, are you better at finding a QB?

All that and more for certain. It also helped that if you are a Sooner Boomer the United States Military Academy, long the doormat of service academies, holds no terror for you. Taking them for granted is as old as warfare. As well, they can name all the coaches of the year they want, but nobody...

The ACC cable network airs for the first time on Aug. 22, 2019. The premier game is Georgia Tech at Clemson. I think it would be really, really cool if GT got smart and hired Elliott and his first game as head coach was at Clemson. That would pack an already packed joint.

There is a feeling at Clemson that Elliott is ready and that Georgia Tech would be a great spot for the first job. (Note "first". He would not be a keeper in Atlanta, two-three years tops assuming he has some moderate success.) But he is a lights-out recruiter and has been among those wondering...

Nothing against the guy, but if a head coach is to be hired, get out and bring in fresh blood altogether. And in answer to another observation, the NCAA doesn't limit the "head coach" contact. But if he is the head ball coach he would be very selective in where and who he recruited because he...

Doubt seriously the AD had anything to do with him staying. As we have seen, Louisville is now an open sewer, and the football program barely exists. The guy learned a little bit at Louisville, anyway.

I saw that "report" -- and I am caution because BR is kind of sophomoric in its writing -- but if the desire is a connection, and NFL, then the job description is written with one man in mind. I don't believe that. Almost without exception, creativity and innovation in football begins in...

Whisenhunt spells caution and caution here spells mediocrity. The AD's first major hire has to be about audacity, stretching the limits. Not wussing out.

The most salient thing Johnson said -- didn't listen, read some transcripts -- was that these guys are football players and most didn't play option in HS. They can learn any system. I mean, really, football ain't rocketeering. Reduced to its basics it is hit the other fellow before he hits you...

For what it's worth, I agree. I mean, why not coach the game? Does Hamilton think he is gonna throw it? I mean, stop being a typical jock and get real. Hamilton as a football player was fine. Otherwise, not so much. Of all the things Johnson said, the most encouraging was that after all, these...

I gotta suspect a GT education ...

From reading the board all these years my guess is they have a plane. A Cessna.

See Johnson, Georgia Tech. See Frost, UCF, see Smart, Georgia, see Dan Mullen, Florida, see Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M .... absolutes will kill you every time.

The earth is not flat.

Ask Navy.

There isn't a school in the country that recruits itself, certainly in the numbers required to field a team. If Clemson did it could junk the recruiting budget. Know how Swinney got on the leader board to succeed Bowden? Because as the WR coach in charge of that recruiting, he went out and...

The "strength of schedule" argument is compelling and generally a winning one. But why in the world should the U.S. Naval Academy play a schedule of Notre Dames? Just no compelling reason to do that. Did Navy beat whomever they teed up against is the question.
