Thank God we didn't hire Deion.

Yes, and also thankful we didn't hire Chadwell. Fritz would have likely done a good job, IMPO, just don't know how much longer he would coach.

Fritz would have been a placeholder, but doubt he would have turned us completely around.

Here's hoping Key is more GOL and none of Collins. Collins managed to cash in his chips, good for him, at our expense. He really was miscast as a coach. Collins should never be nothing but a recruiting coordinator, at best. Maybe the rah rah stuff works there.

We need better S&C and GOL style coaching and discipline. Better make sure you block, OL, or you may get put in at QB in practice with no blocking to experience what it feels like to be a QB. GOL was a ööööing hell of a coach.
 
I read a great line about Ukelele and Dumbo on ESPN.

The author said that Dumbo screwed Clemson's playoff chances this year by "spite-starting" Uiagalelei. I think that's right! It's been so obvious for two years that Ukelele sucks, even Dumbo must have known that. And I understand that Clemson fans have been screaming for Dumbo to replace him. He won Natties with the Massage King and with Sunshine, and I'm thinking that he wanted to prove that he could win even with a ööööty QB. A big "you don't like Ukelele? Well, öööö you, watch me win anyway."

Well, he couldn''t.

So I guess Dumbo finaly gave up in the ACC Championship. And now Ukelele has hit the portal. He should draw a lot of interest from a variety of FCS schools.

I don't think the recruitniks were terribly wrong, DJ just never progressed and couldn't make the transition to P5 football. Not unlike Sims who has the tools but can't seem to make the transition. In both cases the head coach stuck with them for too long for only God knows why.

Sims NEVER had the most important tools. He lacks the same tools as Ukelele. ACCURACY and decision making. Can't consistently find the open men, and when they do, their passes are often off-target and sometimes wildly off target.

Maybe Clemson hasn't had a better replacement until Klubnik came along. My point on recruitniks is that nobody knows how a player will pan out in the end. There are way to make factors that influence the outcome to boil it down to a number, especially not with the granularity of 4 decimal places. Yet we want to hire and fire due to whether or not a group of players are "rated" cumulative .86xx or a .88xx.

Whether you accept it or not, recruiting rankings are an accurate barometer for a team’s general station.

Recruiting Matters: Why the rankings get it right

Another year, another reminder that recruiting sites remain our most useful resource for evaluating new talent and forming baseline expectations.

On signing day, Georgia cleans up and Georgia Tech stays afloat

By the end of the day Wednesday, the first day of college football's early signing period, the people who follow recruiting closely declared Georgia's class second-best in the country. UGA's reign as recruiting champ lasted for one cycle. Alabama is back on top, as usual.

It’s also why we stopped being competitive with them after Smart arrived, even with the God of Option coaching. He didn’t become a better coach than PJ after one season. Coaching only gets you so far and we can cover more ground properly evaluating and recruiting from 83’s and 11th in the ACC in 2018 than praying for another gimmick god to descend

For the first 10-12 teams who annually get the easily distinguishable "men among boys" on the HS fields. Yes. Beyond those teams, you'll have a hard time showing correlation between rankings and success. Success rides heavily on development of those players and that differs school to school. You even heard CBK speak to that today if you listened to the presser.

ETA: Also, recruiting absolutely matters. It's the splitting hairs that is ludicrous. I'm good with 4 buckets: 1) Can't miss "men among boys," 2) Very good players who should be very good college players, 3) Good HS players who can, with proper S&C and development, become good college players, 4) HS players who will not play major college football.

So, looking back at the class of 2020, using 3* as the highest category, if we gave #1 above a 3*, #2 a 2*, #3 a 1*, and #4 a 0*, our class would be four 2*, ten 1*, and two 0*. That's 8+10+0=18, and 18/15 = 1.2* average. By comparison, Clemson's 2022 class would be one 3*, nine 2*, eight 1*, and two 0*. That's 3+18+8+0=29, and 29/20=1.5* average. For further comparison, UGA's 2022 class would be five 3*, sixteen 2*, eight 1*, and one 0*. That's 15+32+8+0=55; and 55/30=1.8* average. IOW, UGAg class average is 1.5x what ours is and there are 30 of those players compared to our 15. You can still see how recruiting matters this way, especially for the perennial top teams.

If they did something like this, though, it would have more validity, IMPO, but you'd have a bunch of teams clumped in the middle. That's how it really is... but... that wouldn't sell as many subscriptions, so they don't do it.

George Harrison liked the ukulele. He was always talking about ukuleles and would give fellow musicians ukuleles when they visited him.

That's cool. Did he include it on any of his hit songs?

The only rock song I can think of which featured Dabo's QB is:
