Thinking about it: Duke might actually be the best example. They have gone up a tier in recruiting. And that improvement certainly coincides with them putting a little more into the coaching staff and improving facilities (it seems like they still had a track around the field until just a few...

I haven’t really said any “opinion” though. Certain posters are of the opinion that first you win, then the recruits come. I’m simply asking for examples of that. So far I’ve been given Saban at Bama, which is objectively wrong. His first class was top 3 coming off of what amounted to a .500...

Is Clemson an elite program without Watson? Of course. That’s beyond debate. Do they win the NC without him? No, but no team wins the NC without their great players on the team. You’re so lost in the brush with this debate. You now want to argue if they would literally win a particular game...

1. Literally everybody called Clemson a sleeping giant. If you only follow Miami football, I get maybe you never heard that. But Clemson, Texas A&M, UCLA to some extent, etc. we’re programs constantly talked about as sleeping giants. Programs centrally located in talent hubs with the...

Once again, they were in the Top 10 in the 247 Talent Composite in 2016. Their recruiting was starting to take off. There’s a reason people always referred to Clemson has as a “sleeping giant.” They are centrally located in the talent hub of the United States, with enough money to build a...

Clemson was in the 247 Top 10 Team Talent Composite the year they won the NC. The idea that first they won, then they started recruiting at an upper tier level, is just wrong. They were already stacking their roster.

Wut? Saban had a Top 3 Class with his first full recruiting class. This was coming off a 7-6 season that included a loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Clemson recruiting at a pretty decent level. Their elite classes didn’t come from winning, but because they started spending like an SEC program...

Do people really believe this? That if not for Watson, a program centrally located in the heart of the south, that has just spent an ungodly amount of money the last few years on the best recruiters and facilities, would be struggling to bring in top classes?

Can you list all these programs that had to consistently win, and THEN they started recruiting well? People think it works like that without much evidence. “First you win at a 4* level, and then the 4* players come” is more like a dream that every lower tier program has. Go to their message...

But so what? The only reason why we need “grimes” kids are because we get bent over by everybody far too often. I will keep asking: what defensive coach would you be worried about on the trail if you were an opposing fan?

Yet we’re playing around with moving Finley to safety in the spring and are basically penciling in a transfer that hasn’t stepped foot on campus as starter. We aren’t going to get bad players. Even bad recruiters are going to land some 4* players because there are so many in the area, that...

Can't keep both. If people want to defend retaining one, that's fine. But it's impossible to argue both should be on the staff.

He's a horrible recruiter. Corner depth is an absolute joke because every year we say, "We are only going to take studs, and save the scholarship for next time." But next time doesn't come, so we are paper thin at corner. In an area that shouldn't need greater coaching. We are in MIAMI. The...

The nice thing about Diaz keeping the all the defensive coaches, is that it's not really reactionary posts. We have a long enough track record to look at.

Both need to go. It reflects poorly on Diaz as a CEO that, when the team was his, he actually wanted both of them on the staff.
