Oh wow. I always liked DeBord. He proved a lot of fans who called him nothing more than an Olympic pool guy wrong. If Fulmer had only hired him instead of Clawson I think our program is very very different today but the fact that Fulmer was scared of the criticism that he wouldn't change wasn't helped by the fact that the two of them even looked alike, Still I'm glad we had him and Dobbs at the same time and wish him all the best recovering.
LWS said the reason he wasn’t hired was Fulmer wasn’t allowed the required money.
 
Question, are we a better team than last year? I think we look better. Defense attacks a hell of a lot better, d-line gets after it more. Guys like Theo, Tank AT, Banks are certainly playing better. I'd like to see Mcdonald replace Flowers, and Mohan over Page but I have no complaints with the D. Offense is self explanatory with no JG...
We definitely look better coached. I really think we have someone calling plays that runs a modern offense that will be very hard to defend once we get the right guys in to run it. My expectations were very low for the defense coming in, and they have certainly exceeded them. So far Banks looks like he was a great pickup at DC, and of course Garner gives a big assist on that side of the ball. Even special teams is looking better.
 
Prime example of why we are where we are. The AD and administration hasn't liked winning since Dickey. Instead, they've liked being charge and hanging out with boosters.
They still dont. They want a full stadium at 5 star restaurant prices, while paying for Dollar Tree level food.

I'm happy we finally have one of those joystick receivers in Calloway. It only took 8 years..
 
He's good but we desperately need D and O linemen... Oh, and LB's too!

Solve QB/WR and we solve a ton of problems. If we hit those long passes this is a different team. The struggling OL gets a ton better if the QB can hit a few long passes while also being a threat to run. That alone would make us a better team and definitely buy us time for recruiting killer players on the lines and elsewhere. I almost think it's the only path forward for a team working from behind. QB has been the major factor that changed things for Clemson (now they're suffering the lack of it) and it was a major reason we were able to rebuild under Majors as well as what took us to new levels under Fulmer. It was even the major reason Butch was able to be successful with Dobbs making up for a lot of deficiencies all over the field.

The more I think about it the more I'm glad that JH is a former QB. Surely, that will help recruiting the position in the future because I think it's the key.
