I believe Southern Cal offered him. Norm Chow knows a few things about quarterbacks. You can blame Sanders for recruiting Jon Crompton, but there were plenty of coaches that felt he'd be a good college QB.

So Sanders/Cut/Clawson couldn't turn him into a decent SEC QB and all 3 are labeled by the coaching community as great QB coaches.

Crompton has loads and loads of raw talent.

Yeah, acting as a RB does you really well when you get stood up by a Florida DB and made to look like a fool. Crompton's legacy is going to be the run against LSU where he ran over Landry and got the 1st down. I wish and hope that I can be wrong on that statement but at this point I don't see Crompton getting much better.

I think Cut would have went with Coleman. Fulmer would have had more confidence in Cut's decision than he would Clawson's. No fault to Dave on that one, he may have wanted to go with someone else early (which i am sure that he did). Daves short fall came when no one believed in his system, it is evident that the players didnt buy in and that is the reason he failed so miserably.

He has the arm and better than average mobility. You're the one talking about taking risks on players with raw talent. That sounds like Jon Crompton and Nick Stephens to me.

So, by that statement it would be 100% the players fault. The thing is the same thing was said by Richmond fans and the next season when players started believing in the system they prospered in every way on offense.

I just don't think the man can coach at this level. To me, he looks like a DII coach.

So both of those players are under Cut and learned about being a SEC QB but yet have yet to show anything resembling what they learned under Cut. Looks like Cut was riding that Ainge wagon into the sunset. He knew what was coming and Clawson came into the mess and has ever since been wading in the sewage of this downward spiraling program.

Ainge looked just as bad as these two without Cutcliffe's tutelage. I don't think he could have turned Crompton around, but I think he could have found a guy that could lead a few scoring drives every game.

I have a question that I have been pondering on for a couple of weeks.

What has Clawson shown you that he could be successful at this level?

I know that as a unit the offensive coaches don't work well together from what I have seen, but that doesn't fall on Clawson that falls on Fulmer. Clawson was also handed an offense that didn't have a QB worth a crap and that has to do with recruiting prior to him arriving here. There were too many problems here before Clawson arrived to lay this failure completely on his doorstep. He deservers some blame, but no where near as much as the man who hired him and the other offensive coaches especially Adkins.

BJ Coleman would be a breath of fresh air right now just to see how things could look next season.

I expect little from him. Playing Crompton is essentially a forfeit.

I agree, and what bites my ass even more is that Clawson is basically just gonna have to sit there as Fulmer helps ruing his resume even more. Fulmer won't even try and let Clawson try to run anything for fear of being made to look worse even more than he looks right now making this boneheaded decision to start Crompton.

I'm not really sure I buy that excuse. It's pretty likely that Coleman just isn't ready to line up. Evidently this offense is just complicated and it's not likely to have a lot of success its first season. I think Clawson's first season at Fordham only had one win. The first at Richmond had 3 wins. Maybe his offense just takes awhile to implement.

It's kinda like the Tootsie Pop commercial, the world may never know.
