  1. USC will go through effectively 4 OCs in less than a year, not counting the next regime after Helton is fired: Martin, Helton, Kliff, Newguy. Compare to the commentary out there regarding staff stability at Clemson.
  2. If Whittington can help protect, I like having him as an APB and letting Smith compete with Moore when he gets here.
  3. 995 bottles of Shh on the wall
  4. Let’s apply Occam’s razor. The staff either (1) didn’t notice that they have little depth at CB, (2) don’t care to do anything about the depth at CB, or (3) have their antennae up but haven’t spotted anybody whose name has slipped out to the 995ers yet.
  5. Thanks, good luck, and Hookem! Smith, come on down
  6. Agreed. Having the morning to review and rethink might be wasted time, but at least it would afford an opportunity to account for the game.
  7. He knows the impact of a hard-hitting team.
  8. The biggest improvement in our W/L may come from: 1. Sam and OL were still very much works in progress coming into Maryland. Hopefully the young guys moving up have been well prepared by a year with Hand. 2. Slightly more functional depth at places like DB. Suspensions, dings, and targeting penalties are less likely to cost us quick 6s in stretches of tough games. Our best game on our best day is already good. Not Clemson last night good, but good. Our offense will likely also benefit from the speed we are adding.
  9. This was eating up a recruiting thread. My take: Herman will be involved in designing the offense and the offensive gameplay irrespective of whether he calls the plays on Saturday. The subtraction from his time necessitated by being the playcaller really applies primarily between kickoff and final gun. There is danger of too much disconnect with his defensive staff, players, and game plan, but it is something some coaches are able to manage. Three advantages of Herman’s continuing to call plays: (1) we have been improving on offense including looking like a million bucks in the opening drive against UGA, (2) if we have more than one “Co-OC,” there is less rivalry and discontent based on one being the real OC and the other not, and (3) there is less risk of discontinuity if/when OCs leave.
  10. I should not have said significantly. I was thinking of our pregame records, but we are neck and neck now. You are right. edit: Looking back I may have done too much typing and not enough thinking it the OP. I’m sure it won’t be the last time.
  11. Raise your hand if you saw a 28-point Clemson win coming just like I pretend I did.
  12. Is that a Longhorn Disney tale? Sort of like the Penn State classic Boy Story?
  13. It’s not that Bama didn’t want to be in the NCG. It’s just hard for them to be excited when the other team is not an NFL all-pro squad. Where’s the fun or meaning in just winning the CFP against college kids?
  14. Yeah, but Cook led with the crown of his shoulder.
  15. From the outside you can’t understand it, and from the inside it smells like the south end of a northbound horse.
  16. Purdy’s going to have to work for it next year.
  17. 1. Hypocrisy to try to hold BM but expect his own mobility on K’s part. 2. Poor tactical decision to go to USC and sign that contract as well. 3. Probably sound decision from mercenary standpoint to do what was necessary to get free and chase NFL job, but what a clown show if he comes up empty. Not a classy move though. 4. Bad move on USC’s part to try to tie him down. I don’t know whether they released him or he paid his buyout. For our sakes hopefully he had to buy his freedom. 5. His value seems to be as OC, but what do I know about managing NFL personnel?
