Orlando Sentinel: ACC Spring Football Storylines

[deeeznutz]

According to Swinney when the OC went to SMU, exactly what he ran. He can go with our best wishes, so to speak, but the two guys left supposedly prepared for the inevitability of it and know it inside and out. But Swinney loves the offense and the hurry up aspect, though I often think those things are more talk than action. One of the reasons he replaced Steele as CC was supposedly that he would not get on board with it, thinking it pushed his defense too hard to make a stop then get right back on the field.

I think the main reason they replaced Steele was the 70 spot WVU dropped on Clemson in the Orange Bowl a couple years ago.

Wouldn't doubt that, but Steele already was tip-toeing through an ice flow. I don't get the guy, really. He was a terrible coach at Baylor but seems to be one of those guys who once he gets a job he can always get a job.

Terrible at baylor is a compliment! My youngest was there during that period. One game 45-3 against Texas tech with 5 minutes to go in first half and no one gave a xxxx. He stays calm as the ship goes over the waterfall giving the appearance of having a clue.

Clemson is also replacing their OC, and I really have no clue what type of scheme their new guy is planning to use. It's possible the OL they have coming up fit their current scheme better than the old guys fit the old scheme.
On that note, does anyone have any ideas what type of system they may run next year? Still hurry-up, or are they toning that down?

Swinney was quoted this week as saying they would continue to run read option: "it's what we do," he said. He went on to say that the read option is why Watson came to Clempson.
