Saves Dabo from having to fire him. Nice guy. Decent recruiter. I guess he likes to smile alot. Couldn't coach a lick.

You can only coach what you have....
Just wondering if you think you could have coached them better. If so, what qualifications do you bring to the table?

So where was the ball dropped...
Dec 8, 2012, 11:44 PM
|
|
Were the players over-valued during the recruiting process?
Our DBs were about as bad as any team I watched this year. I am not judging that on coaching experience, but the number of times receivers were wide open this year.
I really don't think we've recruited among the worse teams in DBs the last few years. I wonder what the problem is?

Seems like our recruiting has been at least average. Play has been well below average IMO.
If there is indeed a change, I guess we'll find out.

about the play, unfortunately. The days of a Kinard are a distant memory. If it's true, I hope they take a look at Thigpen who just got released from AU... he was sec recruiter of the Year in 2011 and originally from NC.

With the exception of Hall, Harbison was involved in the evaluation/recruitment process of every other DB on the rooster.

We were 44th in interceptions. I'm not going to say he is "perfect". But finishing 44th out of 120+ teams and 4th in the ACC, is good. Ellis Johnson is not going to have trash work in his defense. Urban Meyers tried to hire him. "Decent" recruiter? Come on. He was one of the better recruiters around.

How do you even know that Wofford can even coach? Just because you were a good player, doesn't mean you will be a good coach? What makes him deserve to be DB coach at Clemson?

Brian Dawkins is the man - 17 years in the NFL and 9 pro bowls. He was a beast and a coach on the field. Donnell was a great one too, but Brian is the greatest Clemson pro ever.

Forget Dawkins, talk about real candidates
Dec 9, 2012, 10:01 AM
|
|
Here are more likely names:
Tommy Thigpen- former Auburn DB coach, excellent recruiter especially Atl area, sounds like just an ok coach
Mike Reed- recruited Ga for NC St, pro experience (coached Dawkins for Eagles), NC St has had some good DB development
Willie Martinez- mentioned because he worked with Venables before but rumored to be hired at Tenn.
