Read Update »

I would let Venables make the DB coach hire.....


Dec 8, 2012, 11:05 PM

He could pick the guy he thinks would best fit his system

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes***

Our Staff


Dec 9, 2012, 9:57 AM [ in reply to Yes*** ]

Hope our coaching staff doesnt start getting stripped down. Harbison to Auburn, Morris interviewing for head coaching spots,

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

NO TO TOMMY THIGPEN


Dec 9, 2012, 1:43 PM [ in reply to Yes*** ]

this would be alil' more than a lateral hire.
Whats Auburn's secondary done, nothing!!
Hes a recruiter, thats it...no Thigpen

Blessing in disguise


Dec 8, 2012, 11:05 PM

Saves Dabo from having to fire him.
Nice guy.
Decent recruiter.
I guess he likes to smile alot.
Couldn't coach a lick.

Re: Blessing in disguise


Dec 8, 2012, 11:21 PM

You can only coach what you have....

Just wondering if you think you could have coached them better. If so, what qualifications do you bring to the table?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So where was the ball dropped...


Dec 8, 2012, 11:44 PM

Were the players over-valued during the recruiting process?

Our DBs were about as bad as any team I watched this year. I am not judging that on coaching experience, but the number of times receivers were wide open this year.

I really don't think we've recruited among the worse teams in DBs the last few years. I wonder what the problem is?

You saw it. Maybe you answered your own question.***

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I don't think any of us know...


Dec 8, 2012, 11:53 PM

Seems like our recruiting has been at least average. Play has been well below average IMO.

If there is indeed a change, I guess we'll find out.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-franc1968.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah, hard to judge these late night rumors. Totally agree


Dec 9, 2012, 12:00 AM

about the play, unfortunately. The days of a Kinard are a distant memory. If it's true, I hope they take a look at Thigpen who just got released from AU... he was sec recruiter of the Year in 2011 and originally from NC.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Sounds good to me***

Re: Blessing in disguise


Dec 9, 2012, 10:08 AM [ in reply to Re: Blessing in disguise ]

With the exception of Hall, Harbison was involved in the evaluation/recruitment process of every other DB on the rooster.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Took four posts


Dec 8, 2012, 11:59 PM [ in reply to Blessing in disguise ]

to go negative. Come on, we can do better than that. We usually slam coaches, players and each other faster than that! (Like I just did).

badge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

"Couldn't coach a lick"?


Dec 9, 2012, 7:34 AM [ in reply to Blessing in disguise ]

We were 44th in interceptions. I'm not going to say he is "perfect". But finishing 44th out of 120+ teams and 4th in the ACC, is good. Ellis Johnson is not going to have trash work in his defense. Urban Meyers tried to hire him. "Decent" recruiter? Come on. He was one of the better recruiters around.

Re: Blessing in disguise


Dec 9, 2012, 9:40 AM [ in reply to Blessing in disguise ]

Perhaps you need to check his bio one more time. Looks pretty good to me!

badge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Donnell Wofford please pick up the orange courtesy phone.


Dec 8, 2012, 11:07 PM

Your services are immediately needed in Clemson.

Re: Donnell Wofford please pick up the orange courtesy phone.


Dec 8, 2012, 11:10 PM

How do you even know that Wofford can even coach? Just because you were a good player, doesn't mean you will be a good coach? What makes him deserve to be DB coach at Clemson?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't know if he can coach, but...


Dec 8, 2012, 11:14 PM

it might be wise to find somebody that has a connection with Clemson. Might help us beat the coots.

Re: Donnell Wofford please pick up the orange courtesy phone.


Dec 9, 2012, 1:08 AM [ in reply to Re: Donnell Wofford please pick up the orange courtesy phone. ]

A first step would be learning how to spell his name.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah. The guy I'd like to see here is Donnell Wolford.


Dec 9, 2012, 9:11 AM

Now, I bet he'd be a good DB coach!

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up




The definition of awesome!


If we were to go with a former player......


Dec 9, 2012, 4:38 PM [ in reply to Donnell Wofford please pick up the orange courtesy phone. ]

Brian Dawkins is the man - 17 years in the NFL and 9 pro bowls. He was a beast and a coach on the field. Donnell was a great one too, but Brian is the greatest Clemson pro ever.

Played a major role in recruiting Jayron Kearse


Dec 8, 2012, 11:09 PM

Hope we keep him...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

All I ever hear players talk about is "Coach Cheese"


Dec 9, 2012, 9:03 AM

agree the DB's were bad but he had a reputation with these players

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Football Update: Report: Harbison to join Auburn staff


Dec 8, 2012, 11:12 PM

will miss his raspy voice in the practice videos.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Excellent recruiter, but a change needed to be made there.


Dec 8, 2012, 11:16 PM

Good luck coach Cheeze!

this will work.


Dec 9, 2012, 2:04 AM

dawkins would be a great asset.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not going happen


Dec 9, 2012, 2:01 PM [ in reply to HELLO BRIAN DAWKINS!!!!*** ]

Dabo would be overwelmed with this hire-Dawkins



Hearing Thigpen at Auburn, which would suck.

will they be needing a S/C coach? I've got a great one for

Can I give this ONLY one thumbs up?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Do you risk a Trooper Taylor hire? I mean u pretty much get


Dec 8, 2012, 11:52 PM

guaranteed Foster, Lawson, and Adams. I don't really know the story with him and if he's a big time rule breaker or was just following protocol...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

YES. Would absolutely take him


Dec 8, 2012, 11:59 PM

Some baggage but can bring in the talent.
BV can "coach em up."

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Right. Let's bring in the NEXUS of the AU-burn investigation***

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Trooper is terrible and might get removed by NCAA


Dec 9, 2012, 9:59 AM [ in reply to Do you risk a Trooper Taylor hire? I mean u pretty much get ]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is not longer allowed to coach and recruit.
He is probation waiting to happen.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Forget Dawkins, talk about real candidates


Dec 9, 2012, 10:01 AM

Here are more likely names:

Tommy Thigpen- former Auburn DB coach, excellent recruiter especially Atl area, sounds like just an ok coach

Mike Reed- recruited Ga for NC St, pro experience (coached Dawkins for Eagles), NC St has had some good DB development

Willie Martinez- mentioned because he worked with Venables before but rumored to be hired at Tenn.

Re: Trooper is terrible and might get removed by NCAA


Dec 9, 2012, 10:31 AM [ in reply to Trooper is terrible and might get removed by NCAA ]

this has been the case for YEARS but the NCAA is afraid to come down hard on ESPNSEC!! look how scared they were of the dirty c$$ts..gave them NOTHING!!

to quote my friend and mentor


Dec 9, 2012, 7:32 AM

Would like to see DAWKINS fill this position***


Dec 9, 2012, 7:42 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dylan Sumner-Gardner would too***


Dec 9, 2012, 8:25 AM



2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sorry..


Dec 9, 2012, 2:02 PM [ in reply to Would like to see DAWKINS fill this position*** ]

I have heard 5 names already, that isn't 1 of them.

Dabo would be intemidated by a Dawkins hire.

DB have not done well in a awhile.

not true... they were very good a couple years ago***


Dec 9, 2012, 12:59 PM

Dawkins gets paid plenty by ESPN. Wont take a 300k job.


Dec 9, 2012, 9:24 AM

That brings alot more stress. He would be awesome though.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Depends how much money he already has and how much he loves


Dec 9, 2012, 9:55 AM

Clemson still.

Re: Football Update: Report: Harbison to join Auburn staff


Dec 9, 2012, 1:58 PM

Not a big loss. Our DBs the past two years have been the worst we've had since I started watching us play in 1975.
