NEXT SEASON UP AND AT EM!

Hey there fellow Tigers!!! As we all know, Chad Morris has decided to make an important life decision and move up to a head coaching position at SMU. However, take heart in knowing that Dabo has had a plan for this very moment in his program. I think we will see what Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott have during our bowl game. If it is a formidable opponent then we will get a chance to see where our program lies from an offensive prospective. If we do well then we can all breathe that sigh of relief. If we throw a bunch of screen passes for a 2 yard gain then I would say that Dabo needs to look else where for a new hire. Possibly Auburn would be a great choice seeing as Chad Morris did a lot of cooperative exchanges with Auburn's program over the past 2 seasons. It may just be a decent fit. With all of the talent on the roster for Clemson's offense I see no reason to be too worried. Only time will tell...
On to what really concerns me. Next season we will be without Corey Crawford, Robert Smith, Vic Beasley, Nuk Williams, Tavaris Barnes, and Grady Jarret just to name a few. Who will fill in the gaps on the defense? Who will replace all of that talent on the defensive side of the ball? I just do not see the whole picture for next year's defense. Brent Venables has to have a plan. Is anyone else just as anxious to hear what his plan for next year will be? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Chesty

that the OC position is locked in and finalized. There will be no new hires. As for the defense, there have been numerous posts about this, some very good and thorough. Check back a few days and pages of posts. THanks.

1st String
Lawson
Watkins
Reader
Dodd
O'Dainel
Boulware
Wiggins
Alexander
Kearse

Tankersly
2nd String
Ogundeko
Pagano
Robinson
Huggins
Goodson
Jones
Rogers
Edmond
Blanks
Johnson
Baker
It won't be #1 in the country, but it will still be a stout defense, especially with BV calling the plays. I'm most worried about depth at tackle and corner. We need to close out with a couple of top recruits in this class.

I agree with all that has been posted, but are we at least 2 deep on the Front 7 going into next season? We were 2 deep this season... What about next? Depth will play a major factor in keeping fresh legs out on the field.

My only worry for the bowl game is we may see cole Stoudt and that want give a true picture of our O! Just look at Morris offense with Stoudt and with Watson totally different so I wouldn't be to upset with Scott if Stoudt had to play because we become very limited when he is in!

Looks good to me. We have so much more speed on the back end of the the defense. So long as we remain string at the point of attack with those guys on the back end we will have a very agressive D that can cover its own mistakes.
