and he has winless season on his record. He is not a bad coach nothing special as far as I can tell as a HC.

that was his 1st season there and he had them at 10-3, league champs and in the playoffs in 3 years. Don't know much about him but that doesn't scare me off.

I live in Richmond and he is the 2 time coach of the year at least in the CAA which is the top conference in the FCS despite ASU winning the whole thing twice. They get 3-4 teams in the tournament regularly

Anyways, I remeber mostly a one-back offense with a productive rb. If he didn't have a good rb he let the qb scramble a lot. Pretty basic offense from what I've seen but not really a drastic change in our current philosophy.

If we want to go to this level I think the guy at Delaware is more innovative.

We are the Vols not BC we can do better. Although, after coming down from splash hopes he is better than Adkins or Fulmer. But, we can do better much better.

The interesting thing to me is that what if Clawson is the guy? He may be the one giving input on the assistants. It's sounding like Dratyon is a done deal and those two worked together at Villanova. :good!:

Imagine a hire of:

OC: Clawson
RB: Drayton
QB: Loeffler
WR: Campbell

That'd be boss.

Too bad we couldn't get Tim Walton to replace Slade. It'd be Christmas in January.

You aren't kidding. From everything floating around out there it sounds now like Slade might be staying.

Did you see the rumor that Walton apparently turned down Ok. State for Memphis?

He was winless in 1999, his first season as Fordham HC. Three years later they were 10-3. I call that evidence he is a good coach, not evidence he is a bad one. It means he took over an awful team and built the program into one good enough to make the final eight of the 1-AA playoffs in three seasons.

He wouldn't be a sexy choice, but if the staff is what's being listed here, we're definitely getting new ideas on offense and people with loads of experience in other programs and systems. More than anything else, that's what I wanted to see. This is still a winning program, but something's gone stale. What we don't need is the program "incest" that got Alabama Mike DuBose and Mike Shula.
