Our coaching tree is fairly fruitful. Our AD had several of them as assistants.

There are a lot of factors to consider.

1 - Holbrook and Tanner are close friends do whatever is going to happen, unfortunately, is not going to happen until next year ..... although, Ray and Skip are so close I'd be shocked if Ray has not already been on the phone talking about how he handled the Smoke situation.

2 - Monte Lee (C of C) is next in line and one of Tanner's boys but that slso might cause some issues with some of the existing long time assistants.

3 - Holbrook's buyout is hefty if the trigger is pulled before the end of next season. And Ray Tanner is so budget conscious that I just don't see him pissing away over a million bucks by pulling the trigger too early.

4 - Holbrook lost seven major players to the draft last year .... a year in which he also underachieved IMHO. That, along with injuries, has been his excuse yet his roster is full of nothing but high school all-americans that he recruited.

5 - There is a loyalty factor. Holbrook played an integral part in our NCs. He's a helluva recruiter. He just does not appear to be head coaching material.

I can't see Lee leaving C of C. He's turned down a couple great jobs to stay there. The best thing for USC is that CJL staying at Clemson for as long as possible. He's got no credibility in the Charleston area. He's an outstanding recruiter and knows how to sell you on a visit, but as a coach he's blowing it more and more each day.
