Portal and Crow


Dec 5, 2021, 10:29 AM

Ok, apologies - for the last week I’ve been posting BV isn’t going anywhere. Based off all the reports this morning, apparently he is.
To me, it just seemed disingenuous for coaches to be on the recruiting trail earlier this week wanting prospects to come to Clemson, while at the same time, knowing you wouldn’t be here yourself.
I do not like the portal but from what I’ve seen, AD’s and Coaches alike have been bailing at a rapid rate. The players should have the same opportunity, if the coaches they’ve committed to, bail themselves, leaving them hanging.
Many have said Bates would probably be our DC. Is he good, how long has he worked under BV?
As for the crow, load up my plate. I honestly did not think a coach would recruit for a school, then bail from the same school the very small week. “Come to us us, we’re all in… except me, I’m all out”. It just seems dirty but I guess it is what it is in our game today.

I get what you’re saying. That happening at some other programs is par for the course. I’m more surprised Swinney would let him go on the road knowing this was developing. This program is sold to the recruits a Clemson is committing to the recruit, not just the recruit committing to Clemson. You water down that image if you have coaches with one foot out the door doing visits.

What if the coach didn't know he was going to get the offer or had to think about it? Don't you still earn your paycheck and continue to recruit for the school and your boss? And, if you are thinking about it, don't you want to get in front of the guys you've recruited and tell them face to face what is happening? Brent, if he does go, wants to do things in a classy manner. And getting out on the road and continuing to do the job he has while maintaining honesty with his recruits is the classy thing to do. Besides, he may have thought on Monday he had the job and then things changed? And if he hasn't been out recruiting, where does that leave Clemson?

That’s understandable. He definitely still has a job to do until he doesn’t and I wouldn’t believe it is his nature to lie to anyone, much less recruits. I just wonder how effective you can be on the road telling recruits you won’t be around to ever coach them? Maybe that’s why Dabo went along with him?

I understand what you’re saying Big Dave, it could have been the timing. However, as a parent (and recruit), having coaches in your house “talking the talk” then suddenly bail themselves afterwards (a few days later) .. I would question “the talk and commitment “ to that school.

I was surprised and disappointed. I thank BV for all he’s done for us and wish him the best of luck (except against us”).

management leaves, they are often cut off from having access to the company files and customers. In fact, they are sometimes told to pack and are escorted out of the building by security. That said, either BV knew he was or might be leaving and said nothing to Dabo or he did and was still telling players to come here or at least be in front of them so in his new role he may be able to land them. Sorry, the situation is screwed up on many levels and BV should not have been on the road in front of recruits. If Dabo knew BV was or might be leaving, then he is culpable as well in this mess. All of this of course is based on the rumors being true that BV is leaving.
