Yes

Well done!

 

[Papa Foxtrot]

Seems a bit premature....

 

[roadkill]

Well done!

Perhaps I should have included a disclaimer that I was joking.

Indiana? Isn't that where cfb coaches go to (have their careers) die?

Odd choice. Of course, if his options were limited, and IU threw the bank at him...worst case scenario he'll have his retirement funded. Cignetti is 62.

Retirement padding.

Dabo Swinney is making some staff cuts after an 8-4 season:

Clemson shakes up staff, with two assistants out

Clemson is letting go of offensive line coach Thomas Austin and defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall.

He’s cutting two coaches. Riley is still the OC—I don’t know if Riley will get more independence or less going into next season.

Or jump ship.

I think the Riley magic has hit the trash bin after both brothers at USC and Clemson failed to produce the results they were hired to produce.

Both are just good ball coaches but not great or elite.

Spoke with a Clemson booster yesterday. He said the issue with Riley is that Dabo is trying to run the offense through him instead of letting him run the offense. Supposedly Riley is pushing to get a freer hand at running his offense instead of the "Clemson" offense Dabo wants to run.

I am for this hiring strategy but this is a useless stat. What if all the other like hires failed miserably and this is cherry picking the successful ones? Without all the data I don’t think you can claim good coaching works no matter the level

Agree. There's two sides to that coin. I think his point was to show the journey of the coaches that have been successful this year.

let's hope Dabo wins his offense ain't that great.

Dabo would be smart to give Riley full control of the offense.

Lincoln Riley has produced 3 Heisman winning QBs in the last decade and he turned Jaylon Hurts from an athlete into one of the best QBs around, 2nd in Heisman voting.

He needs a defensive coordinator more than Key does.

His HC record is 73-18 all at the P5 level.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

If he goes 7 and 5 next year at USC he will be looking for work.
