It is hard to save for college when my 1 year old's daycare costs 4x what I paid for law school tuition. :-)

I'm thinking Riley ends up at Tulsa-good match-but he'll get a big raise this year somewhere. His play calling wasn't a problem in any of those games

I think Dabo had to make this move with Scott, or risk losing him to join Morris at SMU. I thought for sure it would be Riley, as did the Clemson booster I spoke with.

The mismatch I was thinking of is that they run different offenses. Air Raid v Spread

gotcha.

What do you think about Spavital to Tulsa? I had heard on other boards from Tulsa people that they were circling in on Butch Davis, believe it or not.

I don't think Spivatal has done near as much as Riley. It would help Riley to get some P5 experience. Ideally, they are both a couple of years away. But Tulsa is a stepping stone so that may be the type they hire. Also think Air Raid offense hasn't won a bunch of Championship and I think most schools would prefer a Spread offense Coach

Lots of rumors with this one. FAR from a done deal it sounds like!
