From Desman, Ft Jackson, SC

What is the hardest part for this team trying to get through all the injurys each week, loseing the HC, or trying to keep the recruits from backing out from there commitments.

by Desman on Nov 1, 2008 8:56 AM EDT reply actions  

Wow! I'm still zeroed in on Tech....

Do you think we have a plausible shot at any of your decommitments? (just kidding)

What “high profile” coach do you think will actually be interested….since you just fired tommy mid-season? (he, he, sorry I’ll stop now)

REAL QUESTION:
what is different shcematically about your offense since “the change” and what should our coaches look out for most now?

by truecolors on Nov 1, 2008 9:36 AM EDT reply actions  

Couple of Questions...

1) With a much needed win over Boston College, what direction do you see the rest of the season going? Is a bowl game possible?
2) What can you learn from the way GTech moved the ball on us?
3) Do the recent coaching changes take anything away from the Clemson-FSU rivalry? Was all about Bowden Bowl or is a true rivalry between the two schools?
4) Who would you like to see in the coaching position next year?

Thanks TC

I hope to God that they do not figure out a bunch from the Clemson game.

Questions from Ohio

1. What can you tell us about backup QB Willy Korn if anything? I know he got injured during the GT game but do you expect to see him utilized more during the latter half of the season? What does he bring to the table that Harper doesn’t?
2. How have the fans responded to this disappointing season as compared to expectations (i.e. lack of support, poor attendance)?
3. I’ve always wondered, what the hell is the significance of Howard’s Rock??

Thanks

Thanks, R11

I’m glad to see we have lots of participation this week!

If I have to hear one more thing about that stupid rock...

I’m going to absolutely lose it. Please do not include that question. They explain it every week on ESPN when Clemson has a home game. I wish South Carolina would steal it and smash it.

by Weasie on Nov 4, 2008 10:11 AM EST up reply actions  

so what's the significance of it then?

where did it come from? why do they have it outside their stadium?

by Renegade11 on Nov 4, 2008 10:47 AM EST up reply actions  

I will post a summary on the rock.

R11 will get his answer, AND

Weasie doesn’t have to feel that we are subbing the question at the expense of another.

I typically try to do this in any case, so we don’t send them 50 questions.

by Bud Elliott on Nov 4, 2008 10:56 AM EST up reply actions  

Questions

1) Clemson was the undisputed king of the ACC hill for many years pre-expansion. Is there resentment toward FSU for usurping that throne? Where does FSU fit in the pecking order of ACC rivals for Clemson in football?
2) Given how GT ate up the FSU defense with the triple option, what can you tell us about the amount of option that Clemson has run this year? Is Harper capable of running the option consistently or are there packages for Korn?
3) How has the offense changed since T. Bowdel left?

by Fsued on Nov 4, 2008 9:35 AM EST reply actions  

Questions I will answer

3. I’ve always wondered, what the hell is the significance of Howard’s Rock??

by Bud Elliott on Nov 5, 2008 1:48 AM EST reply actions  

These questions made the cut

I’ve watched LSU over the last 5 years nearly every week, so I’m familiar with
Jimbo Fisher’s offense. But tell us what you see fundamentally different between
his offense and Jeff Bowdens?

Do you think they made the right choice in naming Jimbo the heir-apparent?

What would you say is the biggest cause for FSU’s slide over the last 8 seasons? Do you believe FSU has fallen off, or that the ACC caught up?

Did you think, after FSU fell off the mountain, that it was time for Bobby to
hang it up?
 

Are FSU fans worried about Mickey Andrews coming retirement? Does he get the
blame for your losses this year?

What about ST coach Jody Allen? Is the Special teams play the most disappointing
thing about this season?

Why has no FSU QB stepped up since the long 90’s line of good QBs ended with Weinke?

How well has Trickett repaired the OL problems you faced over the last few
years?

Florida State always has one or two great athletes, a la Peter Warrick, who seem
to kill Clemson, who do we need to be worried about this year? Carr? Antone Smith?

Do FSU fans believe they will win the Division this year, what with the
persistent inconsistency from the other teams in the Atlantic?

Compare, in your eyes, the level of Clemson’s talent to FSU’s over the last 4
years.

Can I trade my last 3 girlfriends for Jenn Sterger?

by Bud Elliott on Nov 5, 2008 1:48 AM EST reply actions  

I asked him these:

Strategy

What is different schematically about your offense since “the change” and what should our coaches look out for most now?

What can you learn from the way GTech moved the ball on us? Also, what can you tell us about the amount of option that Clemson has run this year? Is Harper capable of running the option consistently or are there packages for Korn? How many option principles does Clemson use?

What is Clemson running on defense? 4-3, 4-2-5, 3-3-5? Are you guys primarily cover-2 zone, cover-2 Man (man under), cover-3 zone, cover-1, etc? How blitz heavy are you? Do you run-blitz a lot (early downs)?

Personnel

What can you tell us about backup QB Willy Korn if anything? I know he got injured during the GT game but do you expect to see him utilized more during the latter half of the season? What does he bring to the table that Harper doesn’t?

Will Clemson benefit from the healthy return of any starters for this game? Are any likely to miss this game?

Rivalry

Clemson was the undisputed king of the ACC hill for many years pre-expansion. Is there resentment toward FSU for usurping that throne? Where does FSU fit in the pecking order of ACC rivals for Clemson in football?

Do the recent coaching changes take anything away from the Clemson-FSU rivalry? Was all about Bowden Bowl or is a true rivalry between the two schools?

Program
From Desman, Ft Jackson, SC
What is the hardest issue for this program: trying to get through all the injures each week: losing the HC or trying to keep the recruits from backing out from their commitments?
How have the fans responded to this disappointing season as compared to expectations (i.e. lack of support, poor attendance)?

With a much needed win over Boston College, what direction do you see the rest of the season going? Is a bowl game possible?

Who would you like to see in the coaching position next year?

Fun Question:

A Clemson “10” is probably an FSU “10”, since Tens are usually 10’s. What is a Clemson 6 though, an FSU 2, 3, 4???

Is Daboe trying too hard? Are some of the the antics over the top?
