Is this Clemson's next star QB?
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
Will be interesting to see if he stays healthy. Being that fast at his size* (dammit) is rough on knee ligaments

Are you serious? Force is equal to mass times velocity. Increasing both of those things means that stabilizing ligaments have to do withstand more force every time a huge fast guy cuts.
I assumed that would be when I read a couple of quotes from his parents. They seemed like like the type that would greatly prefer their son be in a community like Clemson rather than one like Eugene.
Hopefully we are going be able to sign enough talent on D to give you a run for your money.
Here is the most interesting next question from this: How and when will the Clemson offensive staff change?
Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott are co-OCs. Brandon Streeter is the QB coach and RC.
Which one leaves first? Will Elliott and Scott receive HC offers? Neither, I think, will leave to be the sole OC at another school. Would Streeter leave to be the OC of another P5?

Maybe, but I doubt it. Streeter has a promising future, but coming to Clemson was a huge promotion for him. It will take the perfect scenario for him to leave
All of our offensive coordinators are Clemson grads. Our coaching staff retention and stability is by design
But they are far too accomplished to stay forever. Stay too long and you get buried there.
What are the odds that all 3 so love Clemson that they are willing to keep doing that job for life?
I assume ADs see Elliott as the most ready to be HC. I've said repeatedly that I think when you hire a coordinator as a first time HC, your best bet is if that new HC has been an originator/original coordinator - the guy who created and innovated and built something, rather than a coordinator who had great success maintaining what somebody else built.
Elliott and West are 'maintaining' coordinators. So as a P5 AD, I would not hire either as HC. But as AD on a lower level? I'd look very carefully at both. Elliott seems to have turned up his nose at trying to be HC of a program like ECU or Troy. But if a lower tier P5 program woos him as HC, would he remain at Clemson?
And if both Elliott and West remain at Clemson, and a P5 offers Streeter the OC job, would he remain at Clemson?
When you turn down jobs, or refuse to explore jobs, that would be steps up (from coordinator to HC), eventually ADs quit looking at you. That's what Charlie Strong did to himself. Early on, his desire to be an SEC HC coach became a sense of entitlement: he DESERVED to be an SEC HC: it was his time to be an SEC HC. And so Strong showed no interest in not merely jobs at places like ECU or Memphis, but apparently even in lower level ACC jobs.
He will be drafted, and high. But he and his dad have said repeatedly that he loves football and will play both sports in college.
You ask a good question and the only answer I can give is that you better believe Dabo already has a plan in place to fill the positions. We've lost very few assistants but when we have lost one Dabo has already known which direction he was heading next. We've got an analyst or two already on staff that I personally believe are being groomed for when we do inevitably need to replace someone.
