The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

No. They are not the same. Wilcox is a good coach. Embree has never even been a successful coordinator.

And yet the situations are much the same. A bunch of former players putting heavy pressure on the AD to hire "their" guy, a Buff/Duck 4 Life. Wilcox is a proven .500 HC that has been a successful DC at the P5 level. As an opponent of UO, I would feel quite a bit less nervous about UO with Wilcox at the helm instead of Lanning.

Yeah, it's easy to win at Cal. No need to look at the actual situation.
 
So Clemson is just promoting from within for both OC and DC. Would not be surprised if Clemson slides back to 9-3/8-4 type territory going forward.

Losing Veneables is a huge blow for them. OU's D wasn't the same without him when he left for Clemson.

Clemson being good is good for college football.

I hope you are wrong, but I think you are right.

I agree about Clemson. Not because there's anything special about that school. But because they showed that a mid-revenue P5 that has to go out-of-state to recruit can still go on a dominant run. We don't need "Clemson" but the sport desperately needs "a Clemson".

They’re also very close to a couple huge recruiting territories in GA and FL

......or 2 or 3.

Clemson is also very committed to their football program and they have tremendous support, unlike most of their ACC competition. So they are far more than just a mid-revenue P5 program.

It will be interesting to see how the next few years go for them


Dabo was a WR coach promoted from within. So I think he's got a soft spot for giving a guy he knows a chance. The problem here, of course, is that he's not an offensive or defensive guru so he needs to have great coordinators to be successful.

In other words, if your resume running an offense is lighter than Karl Dorrell's then you better not be making Chev & Wilson types your coordinators.

Why? Until Dabo, it’d been decades since they were relevant. Didn’t need them then. Don’t need them now.
I think FSU/ Miami/UT/USC being good is better.
