Morris' uncertain future killing our recruiting on offense
Jan 10, 2013, 7:55 PM
|
|
Let's face it. This is Chad's last ride with us in 2013. Offensive skill players like Terry, Robinson and North are scared to come here because they don't know who'll be running the show in 2014 and beyond. Wish we had an "OC in waiting."

How do you know that? What schools are opening up next year that he would even be interested in? Seems like every school in the country got a new coach this season. I just don't see it. I don't see another opportunity opening up for at least 2 more years.

the man. His daddy was a great oc at FSU. He has been at Clemson for a while. I think he is the only SCHS coach to win a state title in his only year as head coach. He has been learning under morris for three years. He may be ready. Recruits love him. He's a great guy and loves Clemson. Im sure Dabo and Morris have talked this over and continue to. If Dabo cant handle losing coaches he isnt the right guy anyway. CHILL out, we are going to be fine. I hate it when people get so worried about tomorrow they cant enjoy today. Grow up!

Of course not! It's a result of having success.

I see it the other way. Morris had several chances to leave
Jan 10, 2013, 7:58 PM

and took none of them. He's in high demand. If you played offense would you trust an OC nobody else wants?

If Morris didn't make the move this year, he won't
Jan 10, 2013, 8:02 PM
|

for at least 2 more years. If I have my info right, his daughter will be a junior next year then a senior the next. Most parents will not move their child before the junior year. Hopefully the wife, falls in love with the house they've had built and doesn't ever want to move, but that's too much wishful thinking.

He didnt leave bc he got no offer. Either way he wants to be a HC, and is an attractive young coach for anyone. I cant see him staying 3-4 years.

Germone Hopper? Sammy, Humphries, Bryant, Peake...on and on.
WR is not a problem for us. Next year or beyond. We need some help on the D-Line and in the secondary.

Our identity is forged by our head coach. Dabo new what he wanted to do and went out and hired the people that could get it done. This is what most good head coaches do. Dabo said from the begining he wanted an up tempo spread Offense. Don't forget you and I had never even heard of Morris Dabo is the coach that found him and gave him a chance one year removed from high school. As a matter of fact half the people on this board thought Dabo was crazy, all I could read is go hire a proven guy. Look now at all the people worried about him leaving.

Correction: YOU had never heard of him.

I was a fan because I knew he was a Malzahn disciple and none of the available guys with experience were all that appealing.
If Dabo wanted an up tempo spread 'from the beginning,' then his decision to stick with Napier is pretty baffling.

When Dabo hired Napier, he was a first time head coach, he hired a friend that was on the staff.
I still say Napier could have had success with this talent. Remember when Nuk was all we had while Dye(and the rest of the WR's) couldn't catch a cold or get open.Dabo then made the decision to fire Napier and hire someone else.
When Morris leaves(hopefully later than sooner), Dabo has already proven he'll do his homework to find and PAY for the OC he wants.

That make no sense to me. Almost any good coordinator will become a head coach at some point.

...who they think will steal their thunder or show up their deficiencies. Some of these guys think they have to come in automatically assured of starting and being a star. Some just don't really get it--but they will when they end up being under-used at these schools. Oh well...
