You're not the first coach to draft the mother, you know.

My guess is Candeto's vote is gonna be seriously weighted.

not sure about the color but the narrator needs to get off the god kick,

Isn't it odd -- and I am as guilty of it as anybody -- that one bad option read on a 2-point conversion, and one last second, spectacular catch by an opponent lost us two games that would have put our record at 7-4 with a cancellation, vs. 5-6? At 7-4 you are competitive, at 5-6 you are not, yet...

Was anything forthcoming about his relationship with Swinney? I have heard it both ways -- friendly, not so -- and would be curious, given the nature of the rivalry.

That's one for you. Make sure your wife starts your car for you from now on.

One ESPN reporter and the local radio guy who used to give him trouble.

Actually they don't see double coverage by design: Johnson's offense always has four WRs in the game, every play, so you have to pick your poison. Being able to hit them is for another argument, but it's awful hard to double both sides with a safety and CB -- the LB in theory is going to be...

The part I actually liked best was his take on the ban on cut blocks beyond five yards of the LOS: "If blocking below the waste is dangerous, ban tackling below the waist." To quote another Johnson, the mayor of Rock Ridge, who could argue with that?

I enjoyed football as the hitter. My bad luck was to play a position that was mostly the hittee. I will take a chance and suggest you don't really mean to be critical of a kid who goes to school and plays football four years, but graduates and moves on. Happens to all of us. I forget where the...

Is it possible that the nature of our offense is such that, more than most, it is susceptible to a total play collapse set off by a minor mistake somewhere down the chain? I have wondered about that.

Apparently walked on as a freshman. Too bad he is reportedly a tee-totaler because he'd never have to buy again around Clemson. As it is his major is supposed to be accounting so he will get some clients, you think?

I watched several minutes of the Clemson spring game on ESPN. They just kept running out increasingly bigger QBs and defensive tackles and ends. We're gonna compete with them, but not with horsepower. Can't wait to get reports on our spring game, just to try to make some off the wall comparison.

I think it is a reasonable question, particularly in the trenches where every single play is physical attack/defend. Try to watch that only for a few plays and realize what those guys go through every single down/ The Dbacks and linebackers not so much at all. I think one has to be...

I hired a guy once with the best intentions, his and mine. Great interviews, personal interaction, skill set, maturity, name it. On paper I hit a home run. Moved him halfway across the country -- wife, baby boy, household -- paid a small signing bonus with no repayment demand since I thought...

Shouldn't make any difference what the reason is. From the grass is greener to playing time to just because. There's enough populist in me, just enough, to think that is none of anybody's business. Why would it be? ("Why did you take $100 from your checking account? What did you use it for? Do...

Actually I think you are arguing a separate issue. He fears/sees factories cherry picking the best from college rosters, you assume the new school would fit them best, when actually the new school doesn't care one way or the other: they want the talent. (But sure, wouldn't competition be...

Not sure but I guess you are saying a coach could take a player out of study, and I don't think so. As for the rest, boy, youse guys have a real thing for UNC. It warps the whole outlook and I worry about you.

It's unclear to me how a coach could control a GPA, because if he had that much influence with the faculty then the faculty should have their rear ends collectively tossed from the school, and I think there are NCAA rules against such contacts. But: the GPA should not come into play at all. The...

Ah, you old curmudgeon you.
