Clemson's next head coach ???????

[37bamagrl]

I think in the Big12 they define defense as "the guys that go out and let the other team score so our offense can get out there again"...

ahhh ok, i get it now. makes sense.

Well Coach Ford wasnt run off for lack of winning....His stats speak for themselves...as far as doing better than Dabo...just remember Coach Ford was the o-line coach when Pell left for Florida and was subsequently offered the head coaching job going into the 78 gator bowl against ohio state..he had no prior head coaching experience or coordinator experience...he did know how to motivate and organize a program...whoever clemson gets, it needs to be a guy who can bring toughness back to the program...the talent is their right now...in my humble opinion

I agree with you tiger_echoes, you guys have some talent there.
Is Dabo a popular choice, not as interim, but for keeping the job longterm?
He seems to like it there based on past comments.

As for other possible replacements, Jim Grobe might be a solid choice or maybe Pat Hill at Fresno St. You know Ear$ has his agent putting out the feelers. The heat is turning up on the plains.

I think there will be rumors floated out about how "CNS is interested in the Clemson job, and has had his agent contact the Clemson AD", but that's just what they'll be, RUMORS.

Jimmy Sexton, CNS's angent is also Dabo's agent, as well as the agent for many, many coaches who would be interested in that job.

Here are five possible replacements for Tommy Bowden at Clemson: 1. Jim Grobe Wake Forest coach If you cannot beat them, have them join you. Few coaches in the country can claim they do more with less. 2. Bobby Johnson Vanderbilt coach He's a Clemson alum (1973) who has rebuilt the Commodores from the ashes. Would not be the splashy hire, but his academic track record fits president James Barker's mold. 3. Will Muschamp Texas defensive coordinator An intense, vocal figure -- in other words, the anti-Bowden -- who has generated top-notch, physical defenses at Auburn and now Texas. Figures to be the most sought-after assistant in the college ranks this offseason. 4. Gary Patterson Texas Christian coach Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips likes his southwestern guys, and Patterson has built a reputation as a consistent winner with a physical, hard-nosed style 5. Dabo Swinney Clemson interim coach Has more potential staying power than your average interim guy. Gained a ton of respect from administration as the football team liaison during last year's rift with an academic review board.

Linky from truth and rumors also in there is Cutcliffe or Gruden to Tennessee

I think less and less of that Gruden rumor that comes up every year. Coach Cut? I could see that.

Wallace Wade?

Wade left because of goals that he had as an administrator. I don't see the comparison.

I agree for at least the last three years his name has been attached ot every coaching search or at least mentioned at some point in the high profile jobs

Their first choice will be Bobby Johson he is doing well at Vandy and he's a Clemson Alum.

Good call. If Coach Johnson is not on Clemson's A List, something is wrong.

I'm not the best at reading sarcasm on this board as of yet, but I sure hope you're just kidding. If anything, CMA is the heir apparent to the Throne of Burnt Orange when Mack Brown steps down.

The reference to CMA as the next HC was more than likely just a reminder that many here had those visions when CMA came to BAMA as OC. Yes it was sarcasm at its finest and a good jab it was.

The point is that there are reasons someone might take a perceived "step down" in prestige that have no whiff of cowardice.

Some of the Clemson fans are wanting Texas DC Will Muschamp.

Tater Tot and Man Teets are both available:eek2:

I think they'll end up going for an unknown coach, simply because I can't see them landing any high profile coach, like Gruden. And I highly doubt Johnson will take the job, maybe not take the job, but I just don't see him going there at the end of the year.

What is the love fest with Muschamp as a HC? Clemson fans want him, UT fans want him and a I've seen his name on the barn boards as well. He just seems waaay to emotional to be a head coach, IMO. He is a good DC though and that seems more his niche.

Ohh I had almost forgot that sideline tirade until you mentioned that lol .. the words that ringed the halls of youtube.

You are right nut, hear that Gruden crap every time UT loses as a game. As for Cut, please I hope they hire him, because we will have to start paying TN taxes again because we will own UT. He is not now and will never be a big time college HC.

I think Danny Ford returns to Clemson for an encore and Tennessee goes with the well traveled Lee Corso. Ears goes out to LA and trys on the Raiders.
