Plenty of other names for Clemson

Posted by BRAGGonUT on October 14th, 2008 under Football

Now that Tommy Bowden has been fired mutually agreed to step down at Clemson, we can look at potential candidates. Muschamp’s name will surface for every job, but I don’t think this is the one. While traveling the internet, I found these guys as potentials (in my order of likelihood):

Lane Kiffin – the first name in the hopper with Muschamp; he could start now and the AD has ties to Lane’s dad

Dabo Swinney – the guy that holds the interim tag; meet expectations and you never know –ask Stewart at WVA. Swinney is a relative unknown to me, but is supposed to be a stud recruiter.

Skip Holtz – nearby at ECU and was figured to be a candidate for every available job just 1 month ago

Todd Graham – Tulsa coach who is an offensive witch and has been climbing the coaching ranks quickly

Bobby Johnson – the Vandy coach could strike while the iron is hot

Jim Grobe – the Wake coach could strike while the iron is hot

Tommy Tuberville – strange times in Auburn for the last 10 days. why not bolt to a lighter league that is waiting to be dominated?

Mike Gundy – I doubt he leaves his alma mater, but if he swoons like the Cowboys are used to doing, maybe T Boone shows him the way. He has a tie to the Clemson AD.

Dick Rod – I doubt anyone is happy with Year 1 in Ann Arbor.

This list looks like everyone that sniffed the Arkansas job last year. Maybe that is because the Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips is a graduate of Arkansas.

    I hope Rodriguez is on the bottom of your list for a reason. What did you expect him to do with Steven “Double” Threet and Sam “MCGUFFIE!” McGuffie? He’ll take two years to get rolling with the kind of talent that he needs, and then Michigan will be back on track. Michigan isn’t A&M, they’re going to ride this one out for four years at least, and they’ll be rewarded for it.

    The timing of this seems to indicate that they want to hire someone early, rather than be left without a prom date in late winter.

    I can’t get a read on what type of job Muschamp would fit. Didn’t he interview for the Arkie job last season? I think the SEC is in an arms race right now and in order to save face Tenn will need to hire the most expensive coach they can find. So that eliminates that.

    I’ve heard Muschamp has ties to the Washington AD and he is their top choice.

    Four years? No way, too many bridges were firetorched with the mess of his coming from WVA.

    It’s seemed like Tuberville has been on thin ice for a number of years, and that pesky habit of beating Alabama has kept him safe.

    If I were him, I’d listen to anyone who called.

    So says the internet reports.

    One of the advantages of cutting your losses — and coaches — at mid-season is that you get a jump on others for potential hires. Early Recruiting as it were.

    That’s not good, because no matter what, Muschamp will be contacted in some way or another, and that could be a huge distraction as we head into this three-week survival run.

    You forgot Petrino. It’s got to be about time for him to look at another gig. He’s now been at arkansas for about half a year.

    Despite his success, I think the Red McCombs and Joe Jamail’s of the Auburn world hate Tuberville.

    Willie Rodriguez at Georgia is a name that nobody talks about.
