    It's basically impossible in CFB now-a-days.  

     

    Clemson has recruited about as well as anyone.  They now have two scholarship QBs on the roster - a five-star true freshman and a three-star redshirt freshman.

     

     

    And guess who’s 3rd string?!?!?

    This is the reason you take a QB every year no matter what.

    Um, we did. They’ve all just been elite and know they’ll play elsewhere. 4th QB transfer at Clemson since January. We outrecruited ourselves.

    He would be the best QB for a lot of teams. As I mentioned to you on Twitter you guys have two great QB's as does Bama.

     

    While he would make Nebraska better, I think Frost and Co are looking at the long game. Bring in young guys and let them grow in the system. If 3-5 years down the road we dont have a QB we can trust but everything else looks good then for sure you take a guy like Bryant to get you over the hump.

    Yep. He could come in and provide some experience & knowledge, as a player who’s played in the CFP.

     

    FWIW, I think he ends up in the SEC. I’m guessing Auburn or Arkansas. Chad Morris was at Clemson before SMU.

    I would love Venables but simply do not see him leaving Clemson...especially because he is high on Arkansas' list for a head coach. 

    Venables makes damn near 2 million. Worth every penny. I know every coach says stuff like this, but when questioned about other jobs this week, his quote was something like ‘why would I leave here? I love it here, have a great job, and my son is playing here starting next year.’

     

    Maybe I’m crazy, but if I’m making that much $$$, in a low cost of living area, and didn’t have the pressure on me that a head coach has, I’m staying. It’s also his first chance to coach his son, and I can only imagine how much that means to him since I’m sure coaches on that level miss a lot of time with their kids due to recruiting.

    Yes I agree.  He worked on 3 of Alabama's championship teams which isn't a bad resume.  He also worked at Clemson as a recruiting coordinator and the 2008 class finished second in team rankings.  I believe this was before Clemson got real good too...perhaps it's why Clemson became so good.

    Clemson became good after he was let go. He was a decent recruiting coach but a horrible OC. Also, worked as a student with the team when I was in school...and he’s a complete douche.

    His arguments were in regards to how the offense can use such tactics to exploit substitution rules. 

     

     

     

    And? 

     

    He's doing it now, he wouldn't do it if it didn't work. 

    Who should we hire

    I've browsed a few of these pages, and I'm not gonna read them all. But if I can throw my 2 cents in...

     

    You guys need an up & comer. Don't go after a "proven winner," at least on the main stage. From outside looking in, Nebraska is not a top 20 job right now. Pelini was let go after multiple winning seasons, and the search for a proven winner was on, and you end up with, IMO, not a proven winner. Because of the success that you guys had 20 years ago, many of the fans have unrealistic expectations. Clemson won a national championship in 1981, you guys may remember, and struggled with this exact thing until the program totally reset in 2008 with Dabo. And that made a lot of fans very, very nervous. Even when Dabo had a down year, he went and hired Chad Morris. I'll never forget hearing an old man say to me that it was an awful hire because Tulsa had only won 2 games with Morris as OC. After the Orange Bowl Disaster, Dabo hired Venables, and since has all but locked him up as DC for a long time. Most importantly, Dabo changed the culture. The players want to be around, they love each other, they love helping each other out and they love winning together. Sure, recruiting has helped the winning, but the culture has helped the recruiting. It's best for the fans to stay out of the process, and let a coach come in and do his thing. Don't worry if it doesn't fit the running tradition, wins will solve those peoples concerns. But that's just my take.

    All I'm saying is...even Saban knew it was time to switch to a hurry up, even after he said it was bad for the game.

     

    To add to that, offensive depth is important. On the last play of the National Championship last year, Clemson's WR lined up against Alabama's CB who had played 90+ plays. Clemson's WR had played 30 and was very fresh in comparison.
