So VTech, SCar and Clemson have 9 on-field coaches
Jul 31, 2017, 9:40 PM
|

Georgia and Alabama each have 10 on field coaches.
Would you be mad if Clemson offered his dad a job?

The job is his. He'll help bring far more than one little 5 star and being he's been groomed by Clemson Staff, I'm guessing he'll be a better coach than someone that needs to ride his son's coat tails to employment !!

I think his dad is already coaching at UNCC , but I understand he'd be open to a better gig .

I've seen nothing to suggest that Keith Henry needs to ride anyone's coattails. It's more likely that KJ is doing this on his own because he cares about his family, and after all it seems to be totally legal. Why do you feel the need to insult the father of one of our top recruiting targets?

He's a man moving BACKWARDS in his career

,now needing his son to get back top DIV 1. Sorry the truth offends you. KJ started months ago ,when he refused to see the UNCheat coaching staff for not even interviewing his father when they hired Adams.
At least in the Adams situation, he had worked with Fedora before.

no problem at all....whatever keeps any sort of talent going
Jul 31, 2017, 9:47 PM

to USuC.....do it!!!!!
I don't want SCar to have any type of window opening to get any kind of talent if we can halp it.
I hated that we didn't have room for ortre smith, bryan edwards, and joyner (no room at QB) b/c that automatically gives SCar an influx of talent that they otherwise wouldn't have.
but that's just me

I'd be dissapointed. It would be out of character for us. Though it's possible it could be warranted, I highly doubt it.
Heck, usuc has done this once already.

wedge between all of the other players. And, in three years, what do you do, fire him. How about the wedge between him and the coaches, who all know the only reason he got the job was because of his son. Oooops, somebody has already done that......

that a coach should hired.
Dabo is as deliberate and strategic personnel manager. He goes after coaches to fit his program's needs, just like he does for the players.
If he had believed that any other coaches out there would meet his program's needs, I believe he would have pursued them already. He might not get them all, but he would have tried.
Furthermore, to acquire a player by hiring his father as coach is simply a form of buying the player.

$CU has been doing it for years...

They got Clowney by having a booster (Chip Comer with Comer Distributing) give his father a job
They got Jeffrey by having the University give his father a job
They got Lattimore by giving his sister a full academic scholarship.
Hiring Henry's dad wouldn't be that big of a risk anyway. Boom is probably only going to be coaching at $CU another two or three years anyway.

A warehouse job at Comer from which he was fired isn't all that egregious in the grand scheme of the college football business.

There is a good reason why...

Chip Comer was subsequently disassociated from the $CU athletic program.
He didn't just give Clowney's old man a job.

Keith Henry is currently the RB Coach at UNC-Charlotte
Aug 1, 2017, 8:36 AM
|
|
I believed he was hired him back in February.
Prior to that, he spent the three previous years as an assistant head coach at Catawba College where he also served as defensive coordinator and DB coach
Prior to that, he spent eleven years at Wake Forest coaching special teams, outside linebackers, defensive ends and defensive backs.
Henry was a six-year assistant at Ohio University under Jim Grobe prior to joining the Deacons, had a three-year stint at North Carolina A&T and spent single years at Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb.
He has a fairly lengthy coaching resume.

Can he recruit? Can he develop players? Would he get along with the rest of the staff? I'm not saying KJ's dad couldn't do all of the above, I genuinely don't know, but hiring a coach just to get one five star would be incredibly short sighted. I'd rather have a coach that could bring in and develop multiple 4 and 5 stars than just his son. Any HC that would hire a parent just to get a good player for 3 years has no business coaching a college team.

tough enough to know the only reason jordyn adams picked heels was his pops.....
and now KJ potentially doing the same thing with the coots...
didn't KJ and XT sit together at the coot spring game? didn't KJ help convince XT to drop the coots ?
if KJ wants to be a coot bc he likes the roster - campus - playing time - SEC - etc ...then fine, whatever
but if he wants to be a coot only to get dad a job, its hard to spin this in a good light for KJ or his dad

KJ was making fun of them to convince XT. Both were laughing at little Jamyest for trying to recruit them,pointing out his All In Cookout mishap last year.(Yes, I got's a family member that is a Coot and was at the spring game,we're looking for a 12 Step program)

Most average fans know nothing about KJ's dad so how can they judge if it would be a good hire? Like saying they would marry a girl based on her picture without knowing if she is a crazy bioch
