Doubt you want to hear this..but some perspective..

Clemson won it's first ACC title in over a decade and then promptly went out and had the worst bowl loss in history, having 70 points hung on us in a BCS bowl. Many thought Dabo would wear that millstone the rest of his life, bearing permanent injury that Clemson could not recover from under his tenure. Our message boards read a lot like yours now.

Dabo lost 5 in a rows to our rival, while no previous 4 coaches had ever even lost back to back to the Gamecocks. Having South Carolina as a rival, we had always counted our blessings, since we dominated the series previously. While we had good overall records, many thought that Dabo just wasn't the man to get us over the hump. As I said, Our message boards read a lot like yours now, with irrational posts lamenting the ability of our head coach.

Like I said, just some perspective.

Great perspective -- and on point. Richt clearly sees this too, given his comments last night. He knows we don't have the stable full yet and won't really compete until we do.

One issue is money.. Clemson shells out a lot to keep a large talented staff together.. most ACC schools get poached. Miami saved a lot of money having a HC also be the OC... Pretty clear Right is a great manager and leader of the program... but he seems way past his prime as a play caller. Could Miami pay big money to add an innovative OC???

Great coordinators aren’t readily available. They all become head coaches. That’s why I’m skeptical about Richt and why I want nothing of Diaz as a head coach. You want an offense? Get an good offensive mind as head coach.

That's why I would like to take a shot on art briles, readily available and we don't have to break the bank for him and Richt has enough moral respect to overcome his reputation. First game we have 500 yards of offense and 40+ points you would never hear about what happened on his watch and all you would hear is how Richt made such an impressive move for a guy looking to get back into the game.
