With All Of The Coaching Firings, There Has To Be A Solid QB to Poach

Oct 26, 2025, 12:28 PM

If Dabo stays—and let’s assume he does—then the next doctrine trial is clear: he must search for a better QB, even if it risks losing Klubnik.

This isn’t about disloyalty. It’s about stewardship. Klubnik was handed the reins and has not lived up to expectations.

The situation demands competition. Not just lip service, but real consequence. If the QB room can’t handle a portal trial, it’s not a room—it’s a shrine.

Clemson’s offensive identity is fractured. We’re running a tempo-lite scheme with a QB who struggles to process post-snap. That’s not a fit—it’s a hope.

Loyalty without consequence is rot. If Dabo won’t trial the portal, then he’s not building doctrine—he’s preserving myth.

Klubnik might leave. That’s fine. If he’s the right steward, he’ll win the job back. If not, the program moves forward. But standing pat? That’s not culture. That’s cowardice.

If Dabo’s serious about consequence, there are a number of high profile schools that have fired their HC's or a few on the brink of leaving to poach:

Penn State fired James Franklin. Drew Allar was a five-star with tools, but the system collapsed. If he wants a reset, Clemson should be first in line.

Florida parted ways with Billy Napier. DJ Lagway is a true freshman with elite upside. If the new regime pivots, he could be in play.

UCLA fired DeShaun Foster. Dante Moore was a five-star who struggled in a broken scheme. He needs a reboot. Clemson could offer it.

Virginia Tech let go of Brent Pry. Kyron Drones is a dual-threat with upside. Not a perfect fit, but worth trialing if depth is needed.

Stanford replaced Troy Taylor with Frank Reich on an interim basis. Ashton Daniels showed flashes. If Reich doesn’t stay, Daniels might look elsewhere.

LSU is boiling. Fans are chanting “Fire Kelly” after a blowout loss to Texas A&M. The buyout is massive, but the locker room is fractured. Garrett Nussmeier could be a portal candidate if the regime flips.

Texas is on Sark watch. NFL rumors are swirling, with reported interest in the Titans job. Sark’s agents denied it, but the smoke is real. Arch Manning and Maalik Murphy are elite talents. If Sark bolts, the QB room could splinter.

Thanks to the TNET Grammar Police correcting me, I do get an occasional assist with AI to clean up my post. The talking points are mine but my typing, grammar and spelling isn't what it used to be so get a little help to put out a better post.

This is what ChatGPT said:
**Thinking about the user's request**

**Understanding the query**

- The question focuses on Cade Klubnik's college football eligibility after the 2025 season.
- Cade Klubnik plays as a quarterback for the Clemson University football team.
**Searching eligibility info**

- Just ran a search for details on Cade Klubnik's remaining eligibility after the 2025 season.
- The results show some confusion, with sources indicating 2025 as his senior and final year.
- To get clearer facts, let's browse his Wikipedia page for a detailed career summary.
**Analyzing career timeline**

- From the Wikipedia summary, Cade enrolled at Clemson in 2022 and redshirted that year, preserving eligibility without using a full season.

**No**, Cade Klubnik does not have any eligibility left after the 2025 season. He enrolled at Clemson in January 2022 and has used all four seasons of competition: he played in 10 games during his 2022 freshman year (exceeding the four-game limit for a redshirt, so no eligibility was preserved), followed by full seasons in 2023, 2024, and now 2025 as a senior. Under NCAA rules, athletes get four seasons within a five-year clock, and his clock ends after the 2025-26 academic year. He announced his return for this final year in December 2024, focusing on a strong senior campaign before entering the NFL Draft.
