Another question that I have not seen asked...would Clemson be where they are today if they hired a different coach not named Saban or Meyer in 2013 after they were embarrassingly blow out at home by FSU? Maybe. Or maybe the disruption caused by a new regime sets them back years.

As well as keeping him for as long as they have. If Brent were at Miami, he would have taken a HC job within two years. At Clemson, he seems locked in at DC for decades to come.

Again, like to use Texas as an example as I've been around it now for twenty years: 1999 - Chris Simms (5 stars)....okay career. Could not supplant Applewhite at the start of his career 2000 - Chance Mock (5 stars)....so, so career 2001 - Matt Nordgren...never started 2002 - Vince Young (5...

Many of them are. It's kind of a chicken/egg argument. We need consistency in order to build - which is what Clemson has. But we've made such poor decisions in the past that we've had to make changes. Which disrupts consistency. Each head coach and accompanying coordinators have their own ideal...

It's a good theoretical roadmap to look at. It doesn't mean that Miami or any other school can follow it. But a successful head coach who can recruit and gradually build up the talent level might, provided they can bring in a strong quarterback. Regarding Miami's 6-7 season, it's easily 9-4 or...

Yes. Shannon was put on an austere budget just as college football spending ramped up, particularly in the SEC. Golden had more resources, but not that much more. He was still struggling to get a proper nutrition program funded through much of his tenure. Richt was probably the first head...

Great p oint Great point! You can use the same points with Mack Brown. He had a 1st round QB in VY and a third round QB with Colt McCoy, back to back. Texas went to two NC games from 2005-2009 with those quarterbacks. After Colt left, Texas regressed. Before VY arrived, Texas was a 9-10 win...
