Consider this….


Dec 29, 2021, 11:16 PM

If Clemson had an average QB this year, most agree we would be in the CFP. If we’re in the CFP, chances of BV leaving for OU diminish considerably as the Sooners didn’t want to wait to name a new head coach. This is the reason why Lanning at UGA and Fickell didn’t get the job.

The mediocre offensive play arguably cost us BV and wasted a championship caliber defense.

champions then bolt over a 10 win season. If BV was that type of person, he wouldn't even be the coach he is, wouldn't have ever been the DC at Clemson. .

I think they named Stoops interim because if BV had said

I’m not doing anything until after the bowl game they had a plan in place.

Same if we went to CFP

On the flip side


Dec 29, 2021, 11:33 PM

I think Elliott was smart enough to know his time to jump wasn’t going to get any better, especially with DJ likely starting next season as the starter, so perhaps he also sent TE packing for us as well. Every rose has its thorn.

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

Imo, Dabo encouraged both to leave out of his comfort that their replacements were ready for prime time.

I feel good about our new DC. As long as we can recruit I feel great.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agreed. I just want to see the offense fixed.


Dec 30, 2021, 7:33 AM

DJU is not the answer.
Not sure Streeter is the answer.

That said, BV wasn’t going to stay forever AND OU is as blue blood a program as you’ll ever get. He deserves it and I can’t be mad at him.

I CAN be mad about the state the offense has been allowed to fall into. Gotta be fixed.

I think you have it wrong. TE is the one that would still

be at Clemson.

Oklahoma calls and you go.

not quite like Mama calling, but like Auntie Okie calling.


Dec 30, 2021, 9:46 AM

When she calls, you come.

BTW, eager to see what Dabo does if MAMA (the REAL Mama) calls.

but with the NIL and transfer portal in place, he should go to Bama if they call.

He won't


Dec 30, 2021, 1:25 PM

we all know.

In one great year or two good ones he will be the winningest coach at Clemson in half the time it took Coach Howard.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-fatherg-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

or, OR.....WE could get our heads out of our azzzes and come


Dec 30, 2021, 3:21 PM [ in reply to Hate to say it ]

up with a decent NIL & portal plan/approach.

Lanning is still coaching for UGA in the semis


Dec 30, 2021, 8:43 AM

and will take over once UGA's season is over. Venables likely would have done the same for us if he had been hired while we were still in the natty hunt.

Reason BV left is because his dream job opened up and he likely wouldn't have the chance to go there again and his salary for going there. If you really want to play this game, the reason we lost BV is more likely that Lincoln Riley opened up the OK job for BV by bolting for USC

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think it was time for Brent to leave.


Dec 30, 2021, 1:16 PM

I'm not suggesting in the least bit that anyone wanted him to leave but I believe that it was planned from some time ago that he would work with others on our football staff to train someone who could continue our defensive prowess without interruption to our success. I believe that was also so with Tony.

A noble student learn what he can from the master while the master's goal for the student to exceed the master in their craft. I'm not saying that happened with our defense, not at all but it is quite likely with the offense.

You may be correct about Venables. It's also likely that this was going to happen for OU/BV either way. It was just their time to get together. Imo, he would have left either way.
