I would have liked to seen more variety, especially given most of it had to have come from scratch. But if we had to simplify at the bye to have any success, I guess we just weren't able to get creative. Still wouldn't fire him, unless Mullen or someone wants to OC for us.

Agree on Adkins, wonder if Beamer had a chance with Wolf, especially if he chose Bobo somehow instead.

Meh, who needs stats when you've got balls over walls!

And yet we have won more tourney games than them in the last 20 years ?? It's almost like being in the ACC pays off for them in two sports, even if in different ways.

Currently undefeated as a HBC. Yall need to step your game up.

I'll be happy with beating UGA and/or clemson every year. If we get there, barring a colapse from them, the title situation would be much more attainable.

As for a recruiting class, I haven't seen much on our targets for this next cycle, so I don't know where we will end up. Without even seeing a good target list, I don't know we'll be top 25 this first year, but agree Beamer should be able to maintain our 18-25. Maybe a few good years mixed in if we can get something going.

This was my favorite reading. I was able to follow more on my own a few years ago, but CT always had at least the targets you could pick up and go look into yourself. I can't get hung up on the positivity or negativity of individual posters, but I enjoy seeing people share information.

He does exactly what Dabo does, hire top coordinators and analysts

Dabo hasn't hired a coordinator in five years. I can't name a coach on his staff other than Elliott and Venables. I'm honestly not sure the coaching acumen has much to do with the success. It goes back to keeping it all in the family under the lord's watchful eye. He has consistency, probably more because of illicit activities than for the family bond they share. Regardless, he, as an individual coach could not pick up his family love schtick and move it around like Saban and Urban have. Saban and Urban built their names and will be forever recognized for their ability to install a killer system that will win a championship.

That's not to take away from what clemson is, but to think Dabo could go around and replicate his con anywhere he wanted like Saban or Meyer, I'm not buying it.

No because he’d still be pulling in the same talent, and would have an even larger budget to do exactly what Saban has done
frick even Orgeron in 2019

So again, the whole point here is that his roster is as good as it could reasonably get, and so no matter where he goes, he's peaked in talent, similar to Bama. What would be different is that that peak talent would actually be tested for a whole season, even in Pac-12 or the Bigs, much less the SEC. He's not a good coach, he is an opportunist who lucked out with a good opportunity in a terrible conference.

Also this... when is that going to happen?
We’ve been waiting for this for years now. And nothing

I couldn't tell ya Baw, but you either believe only the teams that get caught are cheating, or that most everyone is cheating and some just do it better. So to repeat my theme of lucky opportunist, he managed to land at a school located in a cult town, where he could get away with a much better cheating system to turn his hick school into the premier landing spot for all the best football players in the country under his gracious guidance. Yet to be exposed Hugh Freeze. The only difference is, you strip Sweeney of his talent, he's not going to UMass and getting them ranked in 2 years.

Which brings me to the next point. Even if Dabo does maintain his talent gap, what the hell is he coaching that makes him great? He wins 1-2 big games a year with usually all his players, that he likely gets to gameplan for all year bc of the ACC schedule. There really aren't a lot of schools he could pick where he could maintain his current roster talent (like anywhere outside the SE) and where that roster talent would be so head and shoulders above the rest of the conference that it really doesn't matter how he coaches.

Obviously Saban doesn't have that problem. He's made his name on an identifiable coaching style, and has even shocked the world by building a team of analysts to evolve his game. Meyer at least made his name as an offensive guru before he made it big. I trust when he moves, he's installing his offensive ideas wherever he goes.

But what is Dabo bringing? Skelator and his 9 man box? His Chad Morris based offense? At best he brings his staff, but what does his staff even know besides how to win against a bunch of highschool talent with an NFL roster?

Originally meant the first, but I'd be interested in your thoughts on either if you think it makes a difference.

This is what I like to see. I don't care what big headed "proven" coach we could have picked up, if they can't hire a bunch of analysts to keep them ahead of the gane, they'll be failing in a few years regardless. Get us some energetic football schemers that love to break down the game, strengths and weaknesses, and develop your game plans based on those studies. Not Jim Bob's gut feeling because that's all he's got for $6M a year.
