After our first four games of tikiΓÇÖs last season we had lost by a combined score of 202-6

Over our next six games, we lost three by a combined score of 144-20.

That was historically bad and reflects what a great job CM has done turning this program around.

Dabo had the only losing season at Clemson in about 20 years after his 3rd season. His first shared year they were also 7-6-Dabo was 4-3. After his 3rd season Clemson was a mediocre 19-15. There were definitely rumblings that the job was too big for him-I personally remember them well. Without Chad installing his Offense and getting Deshaun Watson to run it- Clemson doesn't win a National Championship

Tajh Boyd led them to an acc championship in 2011, though they lost big in orange bowl. Went 11-2 I think next year as well

The English to Arkansas translation is slowing things up.

Didn't realize today was Morris' birthday.

Not surprising but Fulmer has a list of his top candidates and wants to make a decision by tomorrow. Morris is one of the names mentioned.

Done deal they want him to coach the bowl game too


Not so fast my friend.

"UCF: Kevin Sumlin is ΓÇ£officially out of the runningΓÇ¥ to become the new head coach at UCF, per a tweet from Brandon Helwig. Sources tell us that Toledo head coach Jason Candle is very interested in the job." -footballscoop

With Sumlin in play at Arkansas we just might be able to keep Chad. Sumlin would be a home run hire for Arkansas. Can recruit Texas and knows the SEC and what it takes to win. Zero learning curve.
