Just talked to my Clemson freshman and he's just wandering aimlessly around campus. Classic.
The problem with Clemson right now is Dabo is a great recruiter and a good enough coach to organize, energize, and get them in the top 5-20 annually. He has lobbied for and has obtained a large staff budget with huge salaries to both Morris and Venebles. But someone has to answer for the level of absolute meltdown of coaching in a game where your team dominated a great team (absent a star QB) on the road. But it won't happen. The admin loves him and they are destined to the very good, but not great, level. Sure they've had some good wins the last few years (Georgia/LSU/OSU), but they've also had some stinkers (WVU/FSU/USC). I've watched this up close and I knew this season was screwed when he announced at the local Clemson banquet this summer that Cole Stoudt wasn't just a good backup the last few years, but a great backup, and that he deserved to start. Start Watson from day 1 and you probably still lose to Georgia, but you don't fuck up that first drive and you win tonight.
So now Deshaun is the starter with the two of the biggest games on your schedule over. Good planning.
