Coaching Hires

In my lifetime, 2 hires really stand out. Dabo's hire was far and away # 1, Matt Luke # 2. These 2 moves made far more of an impact than any other move. It's like Luke waved a magic wand. I have seen some true grit in our offensive line. We have a group of recruits overall that I would start against anyone. DABO seems over joyed with this group. I think it's deserved. They have heart. Go Tigers!

I definitely have to have CBV in there. Just the enthusiasm and tenacity he brought elevated the entire team. The OL has elevated entire Offense.

Without a doubt he's #2.

Now, ten years from now Matt may be challenging for that position, but not yet.

I love the Luke hire but at this moment the Venables hire is far and away the best under Dabo in my opinion. I do anticipate our oline to get better and better under him and that will have quite the positive impact over the next few years. Can't wait for some of the recruits we should get.

Dabo #1 hire at Clemson all time.

BV was easy #2

Chad Morris #3, much needed revamp of offense and installed a philosophy into CDS for future gains.

Matt Luke #4, but this is as of now. Luke has completely modified an OL that was shaky to say the least and in 5 games have looked like an entirely new group.

This is subject to change with time, but as of right now it is just my opinion.

Original post was "in his lifetime" does not go back into the late 1970's when Danny Ford arrived.

although I agree that Danny is definitely in Top 3 all time

I go back far enough to remember when Hootie was hired when Howard retired. Looking back at that hire you wonder what were those people thinking?

I love Dabo, but, I feel Charley Pell was #1. I was a freshman at Clemson during the Red Parker days. We won 5 total games my first 2 years. Charley took us to an ACC Championship and 2 bowl games. He hired Danny Ford who took over in the Gator Bowl and beat Ohio State. Charley was great at pep rallies!

Matt Luke has done an excellent job, but I think it is a bit too early to judge him as #2 - not to mention a guy named Venebles.
