Re: TNET: Tyler Grisham says he has a room full of starters

developmental Cade Klubnick for another, well, you can’t make the WRs make up that difference. That’s just common sense, and blame was issued (by some) to the wrong place. Typical of some fans tho - always need someone to call out and blame.

Meanwhile, Grisham led the WR corp when we had the most productive passing game in Clemson history. He turned Cornell Powell from and afterthought into an NFL draft. He elevated Amari Rodgers and helped him gain a much better NFL placement. We had a QB.

Then when Cade shows development, WRs jump off the page left and right.

Grisham was blamed for very poor QB play. That’s unfortunate, but now we see his recruiting skills and coaching at the forefront.

Grisham is doing great. Never should have been a target of the whiners.

Let me tell you a story about Grish. He will be embarrassed if he knew I shared this but it speaks directly to the guy he is outside of football. About a decade ago my wife passed away after a couple year battle with lung cancer - leaving me as a single dad to raise two young teenagers who had lost their mother at a very early age. Sometime not long after her passing, Grish and his family moved a couple doors down. As we got to know them as neighbors, my son really admired Tyler and his accomplishments at Clemson and his time in the NFL. Grish is a super busy guy between his football job and his own family, but somehow found every opportunity to invest in my son as he was processing his loss. He would call or text him to check in on him, invite him to do things, come to my son's high school basketball games, etc. - and even to this day still keeps up with him now that he is a full grown young adult. All of this took place without any fanfare, notoriety, or cameras around - just a guy that knew he had a chance to love on a kid facing a difficult time and make a difference in his life. It is easy to see why he is recruiting at a high level. Tyler is authentic, real and just as good a guy as you could ever want to meet and I'm glad to see him starting to really prosper in his WR Coach role. Also, I'm tremendously blessed to call him a dear friend and grateful to him for his role in my son's development. It really is a testament to what Dabo has built at Clemson. He is winning at a high level, but he has built this program with guys like TG that are A+ people first and football coaches second. I get it.... These guys get paid a bunch of money and have to be accountable to what product gets put on the field, but we should all be proud as Clemson folks HOW the program is built. Tyler is a perfect example. Go Tigers!
