New Story: Morris talks short-yardage, Watson starting and mindset of Stoudt

Morris talks short-yardage, Watson starting and mindset of Stoudt

Chad Morris told the media Monday morning in the WestZone that it never crossed his mind to put quarterback Deshaun Watson under center with the Tigers facing short-yardage situations on the goal line and late in the game in a fourth down situation. The reason? Trust. Full Story »

Re: I'm appauled and disgusted by Morris' comments about


Sep 22, 2014, 10:29 PM

Agreed. It's a complete flip-flop in reasoning mid argument. The gameplan was solid... Bottom line. We were actually playing offense in the 3rd and 4th quarters. However the lack of a W simply is the result of costly mistakes. No fault to Chad. As a coach you do not make decisions with the possibility of failure in mind. You simply expect the guys to execute. Chad shouldn't alter his play calling at goal line because the center could "maybe" snap the ball 20 yards behind Watson. They had practiced shotgun, perform the shotgun. High snaps are inexcusable... They are a mistake that cost a game, but not a factor that should weigh into goal line play calling. It is all too easy to criticize coaching effort in hindsight. I am 100% behind the coaching decisions Saturday. But I am disappointed with the mistakes of several players... But hey, that's football. Correct mistakes. I hate to see Clemson family so divided after a loss as painful as this. We all want answers for why we didn't beat them. We aren't going to get one that makes us happy or makes it easier to let the game go. We need to band together, support players, coaching staff, and trust that our coaches can get this done. If we win out and finally beat the #####, this will seem a very distant memory

There are times you don't need to start a play by moving it back 4 yards. 2nd down at the 1-foot line is one of those times. This is very basic. They will correct this, but a QB sneak has a very high percentage of getting 1 foot. Bad snap or not the play from the gun opens a possibility of losing yardage when the D is packed in.

High pecentage formation. The percentage of errors are greater that close to the goalline. 7man front 7 possible errors with one mis assignment. 9man 9 errors possiblity. That includes turning around and handing it to a runningback. Doesn't hurt to weigh or reduce the percentage of error in a game of high magnitude.

Coaches wasted a lot of time with Cole. Now they are scrambling. I thought the game plan was pretty solid Didn't like a few of the calls on the goal line. Everyone who thinks Chad should be fired needes to take a deep breath and think about who is going to replace him. He is one of the best in the business. Just like Dabo is one of the best in the business at recruiting. Notice I didn't say coaching.

Who is going to replace him how about ECU's Laurence Riley. He runs HUNH but can adjust based on personnel and the defense. Most of all just like our defense coach Veneables he takes accounatbility to coach um up. Morris for 4 years has taken zero responsibility/accountability. He read a playbook from Malzone and is essentially the Sean Foley of college footbal more image than knowledge

We have a great coaching staff. While watching the game with a family member, I felt uneasied and flinched everytime the ball was snapped high. Each time dicussing and pointing out each high snapped throughout the game. After the snap mishap, each snap was chest high instead of shelf reaching height. I notice that he took a little off each snap and they hit his numbers each time.
Timming deterrence each time this happen. Gives the defender and extra step or another second to recover from a block. I brought out the same feeling and dicussion about how our runningback carrying the ball with one hand from beginning to end of a each carry. Both situation came to past before the game was over.

You get that off madden?? Morris said we were gonna run power when Norton snapped it over his head. Wouldn't have mattered what the call was on 4th 1 in OT. They blew our line off the ball. I would have liked to seem play action bootleg and throw it to mike or a delayed TE. Or before we wasted the timeout, we should have known whether or not we were gonna go for it, tried to get them to jump by hurrying to the line and freezing the play. Then call TO if they don't jump. That way you make a better decision and exhaust all possibilities.

Watson says: "“In high school, I didn't do it too much. We were straight shotgun. I was bigger than everybody else so I could just get the ball and run straight ahead and get five or six yards. At this level, it's a whole new ballgame. It's something I have to work on, to be honest. We did a little bit in fall camp. It's something that Coach Swinney challenged me to work on this week, throughout the season and during my career.”

Morris says: "As of last Thursday, we fumbled the snap under center in short-yardage situations with him at quarterback. We've got a quarterback sneak in our game plan and our system. Had we known what the outcome was going to be- we would have done it differently (well DUH!!). I didn't trust him."

People stating what we may have done different is ok. Relax. Chad called a great game. Some of us think an under center play or two may have helped. We could be wrong, but it's ok. Coaches get things wrong too. No biggy. I'd be willing to bet the coaching staff in hindsight would love to go back and run a sneak or two on the drive where we came away with no points from 2nd and goal at the 1-foot line. That's football, doesn't mean they aren't great coaches. They are.

They are not being honest with Stoudt


Sep 22, 2014, 11:19 PM

Morris and Dabo have no intention of playing Stoudt again unless DW gets hurt. They just don't want Cliff to quit the team which would put the team in a huge bind not having a back up. This is why Stoudt is being kept from the media. I don't like this and it's not good for recruiting and really unfair to CS to string him along. He's not as talented as Watson so just be straight up with him. They should have told Stoudt to transfer somewhere last year and he could be starting for another team. They knew that watson would start most games this year all along and Stoudt gets screwed. This is the kind of thing Spurrier does in coot land...not at clemson.

You act like a career back up can just transfer and start automatically. Heck, if he hasn't graduated he would have to sit out a year and then play. Ask Jacob Coker how much greener the grass is on the Alabama bench.

Stoudt would have been the starter and remain the starter if he transferred to VT in January. He will not get another chance to play at Clemson for any meaningful minutes unless Watson breaks an arm or leg. The boy should spend his time working on his Masters and a future job.

They had no way of knowing how good Watson would handle the adjustment from high school to college at the most high profile position on the field. Not many true freshman QBs can handle that. Heck, not too many RS freshman can either. I don't think they handled the situation wrong. They planned for the good (Cole playing well enough to win and bringing Watson along as the year progressed) and the better (Watson was exceptional)

The bottom-line, you NEED two or more great QB's. If you remember DW was hurt in the spring. Crap happens from time to time, and you need someone to step in without missing a beat. Remember Cole had to step in for TB when he got rattled. ..Or maybe one is just having a mediocre game. Remember when Cole came in and tossed, what was it.. something like 25 of 27 attempts? That's pretty dang good. People were calling for him, after that. You just can't please everyone, as Rick Nelson used to sing.
Thank you for your post.

That was against SC State. Cole never came into a game

because Tajh got rattled. He came in once in 2011 when Tajh got hurt against BC at home, but we had like a 3 score lead already.

Finally with the rest of us on Watson starting. Duhhhh. If he started Saturday night , we win. If he started against Georgia, it would have been a closer game. How about the kicking game? Does he still have a scholarship this morning? He has talent, but chokes during the games. Hello?

That's a cop out, and everyone knows it. Look, I have no problem going from the shotgun in that situation. It's been very successful for us in the past, and hindsight is 20/20 of course.

With that, it's complete BS that he says he made that call b/c of Watson's deficiencies.

Would you not consider the first snap of overtime having the game on the line? I certainly would b/c a fumble there would essentially end it with their kicker. Guess who was under center on that play? Morris didn't seem to have trust issues then.

have been brought up, but I'm 99% sure he took a snap under center earlier in the game. So if he didn't trust him under center, why do that?

Stoudt would have been best QB under center at that time, but because he sat the balance of game after Watson got it - would have been too predictable. Get creative with the play calling Morris. And watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ymriMhoj0&sns=em

Watson needs to practice under center


Sep 23, 2014, 9:45 AM

because the NFL won't touch him if he's purely a shotgun QB.

That should have been a priority in practice since he enrolled!! Aren't coaches supposed to coach?

OMG, get over it already. We've run short yardage from the gun before and no one complained.

We outplayed FSU.
We out-coached FSU.
We were the better team.
Unfortunately, crucial errors cost us the game. If we capitalize on any 1 of those errors, we win the game.
Did I mention we were double digit underdogs on the road vs the #1 team in the nation? Why are they #1, because they found a way to win...we didn't.

We'll be OK.

Then why not let Stoudt go under center at the 1 yard line. Problem solved.

Manup, reach deep within, look your quarterback in the eye and guarantee a yard. FOLLOW ME! Old School-Mash Mouth Football is required at some point in a game. COMING YOUR WAY AND MAY THE BEST MAN WIN. If one of our lineman, if not all of them can't reach down or within, and guarantee our qb a yard. Then we don't deserve to win, better long a National Championship. This must and has to be EARNED when the opportunity present itself again, each, and everytime. THIS A MUST TO REACH (NC) STATUS.

How many think Watson would even be here if Chad Morris wasn't the OC? Just curious. Remember Proctor, Harper, Korn need I say more?

You have had DW on campus for 9 months and he either cannot take a snap from center or Coach doesn't trust him? Sounds pretty screwed up either way.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: New Story: Morris talks short-yardage, Watson starting and mindset of Stoudt


Sep 23, 2014, 9:09 PM

DW got here in January, went through Spring practice, the Spring game and summer workouts. Now I don't get big bucks to be a coach, but Morris said that we have a QB sneak in our offensive arsenal. So why having an all world QB coming in early---in January, wouldn't you be aware that he needs work at handling the ball under center? Wouldn't your work him like he$$ on that during Spring practice? Wouldn't you arrange for him to work with one of the centers over the summer, taking at least 100 snaps day? In fall camp, wouldn't you have him taking at least 50 snap under the center per day? I'm not a coach making over 1 Mil a year, but I have common sense. Why wasn't this done?? It obviously wasn't, and now we're paying the price. And, Dabo saying "That's just who we are makes no sense. How well has that worked out for us so far----against UGA and FSU? Aren't coaches supposed to coach, or are the just here to collect big salaries?
