New Coaching Staff

Not at all. People who complained that june hired buddies were being lazy and using that as a catch all complaint. The problem was not that they were his buddies, the problems were that they were not good recruiters (and in some cases not good coaches either). Lots of coaches hire their buddies, which is fine if they are the right people for the job.

Heard from a reliable source that Hank Carter will be on campus for an interview this weekend

Donny was a back up walk on QB at Clemson. Smart kid from what I've heard. Will definitely know the O and serve in the way that Craddock did for CM here most likely. Good cohesive hire for Chad.

June hired buddies, but he hired old buddies who didn't recruit. Morris is hiring guys with careers in front of them, not behind them.
