Addressing the people who have no idea about football

It’s laughable to criticize Dabo’s hires considering no one has any suggestions that are better than our current hires.
Who should we actually hire that’s better than Goodwin/Conn? 1. Let’s hire Elko, Diaz, Leonhard… none of those guys have shown the consistency/results at the level of Venables. Honestly it’s just going off the belief that an expensive DC will automatically yield a top defense. 2. Goodwin has no on field coaching experience so he will fail… perhaps that’s why Conn is a co-DC. It sounds like the guy knows the game very well. Remember Joe Brady (the guy everyone thinks we could just plug into our offense and succeed?).. his only on field position coach experience prior to his 1 year glory ride at LSU was as a LB coach at William and Mary. Oh and yes he was an assistant in the NFL just like Goodwin. 3. Conn is just a buddy of Dabo and will fail. Well I can’t deny that his relationship with Dabo didn’t help him get the job, but what has he done to be deemed an ignoramus? Would you rather have some yankee come in as a DC that has never tried to recruit a 5* athlete?
Now let’s look at Streeter.. 1. Joe Brady was never coming to Clemson, and to be honest with you I could have called plays for an offense with Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, and Edwards-Helaire 2. Who else did anyone mention?…. Someone from Iowa State, Kendall Briles? I don’t even remember. Your best offensive minds on the market are probably Dan Mullen or Art Briles, and I can imagine those are not the type of people we want around our program. 3. Streeter can’t coach QBs well… alright so the best QB gurus are Lincoln Riley, Kliff Kingsbury, and Mullen (none of which are truly on the table). The reality is 5* QBs are 50/50 in terms of success, and rarely should we expect a QB to be good in year 1. We hit on Deshaun and Trevor, and definitely missed on HJ. I want to call DJ a miss but I have my fingers cross he gets over the y*ps (don’t say it out loud!). I mean, I can’t really think of that many teams that consistently have good QBs. Maybe NC State? Yikes, all the sudden maybe our QB situation has not been so bad.
In summary, what on earth could you possible want? I don’t know if these hires are going to work out, but I know Dabo has a good track record with coaching hires. I’m a little more concerned with this NIL garbage to be honest! But not too much lil ole Clemson can do about that big $$$. Let’s just keep playing David and take out the “goliaths”. They can’t stand us being good!
