JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dabo Swinney suggested Wednesday that if Clemson gets in a scoring match with Nebraska, it’s probably going to be a long day for the Tigers. “That probably wouldn’t be very good, based on what’s happened this season,†Swinney said. Based on what’s happened this season, I wonder if that’s not the ONLY [...]
Former Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis is off the radar for Clemson’s coordinator vacancy. A source informed me this morning that it appeared Chavis would accept the LSU coordinator job, and now it is being reported as a done deal by numerous media outlets. So with Chavis’ name scratched off the list, all eyes turn [...]
Thought the most interesting nugget from Sunday’s practice and interviews was that Dabo Swinney said he sat down with junior running back C.J. Spiller to discuss Spiller’s NFL future before the team broke for Christmas. Spiller maintains he will sit down with family in the days/weeks after Thursday’s Gator Bowl to weigh his options, specifically [...]
HOTEL ROOM IN JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Greetings from the Gator Bowl. My apologies for the long dateline. But if I actually in Jacksonville, I’d be out in the sunshine and wonderful 80-degree weather right now. Thus, I don’t plan to make the mistake of sitting in front of a laptop any longer than necessary! Clemson [...]
Clemson junior reserve safety Sadat Chambers was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged for driving with a suspended license. But he wasn’t cited for having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. Two Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office officials had said Tuesday morning that Chambers was also arrested for possessing an open container. But the [...]
Clemson junior reserve safety Sadat Chambers was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged for driving under suspension and possessing an open container of alcohol in his vehicle. Chambers, who turned 22 Tuesday as well, was still being held at Chesterfield County Detention Center as of late in the morning. Jail officials declined to provide further [...]
A quick note about junior defensive end Ricky Sapp, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Virginia game. Sapp was said to have suffered a partially torn ACL, but doctors went ahead and performed a full reconstructive surgery on the ligament. Thus Sapp won’t participate in spring practice and is scheduled to be cleared [...]
Former/fired Clemson offensive coordinator Rob Spence has been hired by Syracuse, the school announced Thursday. I find this particularly interesting because, as I’ve written ad nausem, I felt Spence’s strengths might play better in the NFL — and he wound up being hired by new Orange coach Doug Marrone, most recently the offensive line coach [...]
Don’t think there’s any doubt the unanimous star of Clemson’s scout team this year was freshman running back Andre Ellington, who figures to play a prominent role in the 2009 offense along with fellow frosh power back Jamie Harper. Dabo Swinney was asked about Ellington after Wednesday’s practice, and it’s worth noting that Tommy Bowden [...]
Couple of notes on a dreary Monday: Second-string kicker Richard Jackson has been ruled academically ineligible for the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl against Nebraska, coach Dabo Swinney said after practice. Man, things just have never come together for Jackson since he’s been at Clemson. The bar was set high by his record-breaking field goal while [...]
