CM is playing poker


Nov 29, 2012, 9:09 AM

I seriously doubt NC State is ready to hire a coordinator with no D-1 HC experience. He's simply playing his hand and will probably get yet another pay raise out of this from Clemson. He seems happy at Clemson and didn't I hear that he wants his kids to graduate from high school before making a move? I'd think it would have to be a significant pay raise for him to jump ship. He also knows that Clemson will most likely be a pre-season top ten team with the returning talent next year assuming everyone comes back. NC State is not exactly a desirable HC job.

He is also gaining experience in the politics and ins and outs of the interview process...he is committed to Clemson for another year

Outside of making him "Co-Head Coach" we can't really

give him anything else.

We hired someone with less experience than CM, but you think


Nov 29, 2012, 9:18 AM

NCSU would not hire him? Some of you people just type the first thing that pops into your heads without thinking.

So, just to be clear...let me get this straight...

Clemson, a better program than NCSU, hired a WR coach with no coordinator or head coaching experience, but NCSU, a lesser program, would not hire a great coordinator as a head coach. Interesting theory.

I am not disagreeing with you but

it's different sitations. TB got fired mid season and DS was interim for almost half a season. The season is practically over for the year (except for a lower bowl game) so they have no games to "try-out" Morris to see if he could handle the jump to HC.

That's a valid point, but imo, I think they have plenty of


Nov 29, 2012, 9:33 AM

highlight film on his offense. It's clear who calls the plays here. And he's been a winner everywhere...don't see why he couldn't handle the HC responsibilities.

But yes, it would be a difficult decision for them...with that part, I agree, but you see this happen all the time. Muschamp was only a coordinator at Texas, and now he's head coach at Florida. Where was his tryout as a HC?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's true


Nov 29, 2012, 9:55 AM

I just think it's a high risk on NC State and Chad Morris. I guess it is the same when Dabo hired Chad. He took a risk, but I feel NC State takes a huge (and expensive) risk by hiring him as HC. A couple years down the road, risk goes down. I guess it is good we don't have to make the decision that NCst has to make.

Good point. I guess I would argue that Clemson and Dabo were already very familiar with each other and TDP saw the leadership potential in Dabo as a HC. It was definitely a gamble.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree it was a gamble with DS, and aside from the USuC


Nov 29, 2012, 9:37 AM

issues, I have been very pleased. Hope he gets those fixed, and hope that if CM is lured away, that he's smarter than Gene Chizik and goes out and finds another CM!!!

BTW, another example is Florida who hired a coordinator away from Texas to be head coach. Muschamp had no HC experience.

I don't think Muschamp is a fair comparison to Chad. Chad has only been a coordinator for 3 seasons. Before that he was a High School Coach. He's only been at the college level for 3 years. Muschamp had been a coordinator for over 10 years at the college and pro-levels. And a position coach before that. He was even an assistant head coach for the Miami Dolphins and head coach in waiting at Texas.

Now don't get me wrong: I think Chad will be an excellent coach, but I think he needs a few more years at the College level under his belt. I think people need to see what his players can do, not just the loaded cupboard he inherited.

Now of course, you'll have to separate the Clemson-bias out of that.

I posted this last night and get flamed and basically called an idiot. It is not nearly the risk we took on Dabo, and by taking him from us they strengthen themselves and weaken us at the same time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He's not going anywhere


Nov 29, 2012, 9:26 AM

Sorry to the house coots and undercover coots. The Chad is here to stay.

You sir have insulted me to the core by calling me a coot.***
