I did a clemson wallpaper...but it’s now out of date.

And guess who’s 3rd string?!?!?

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.

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.

He no doubt would be the best QB at Nebraska.

Ummm, guys? What the f#&% is going on?

Yep. From what I’ve heard, he’s pretty shifty.

Anyone need me to send them some Clemson gear?!

Whomever ends up on the other side of the ball. Bama first, then you guys or OU.

Fair point. Need to stop by more often. Dilly dilly!

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.

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.

Bump.

Thank you sir!

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

Why? Dabo's thing is, he's good enough that he's not going to be here for 5 years, so why waste a year of his time?

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. -AE

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.

I can't post a status either. And can't find how to switch it on.

Still holding firm to this
