If Rosey is posting it the info is probably a day behind. I’m very hopeful we are all in on Austin Armstrong.Quote:

I like Austin but it's definitely a shift from being all in on an established DC and former HC who's called plays off and on since 2002 to Austin who's called plays for 4 years.
Obviously either one is more experienced that Hutzler when we hired him, but there's a definite experience gap from Candidate A to Candidate B.
On another note, Damn KB.....they really like to talk about us over on On3. I think they call that #RentFree over there.
To me, Armstrong is the young star who is on the upswing. I also think it is more likely that you add McPhee and maybe Chaney by hiring him.
Ha! I don?t go there, so I wouldn?t know. I know that neither Robbie nor Paul like me, and a lot of those posters who left 247 don?t like me. Oh well!Quote:

They're still recovering from Barbay Bombs.Quote:

It's his defense and he calls itQuote:

Now that that is settled, who gets the DC job? Will we be turned down enough times that Hutzler has to Ruin It Back???
I think Coleman is done regardless. Eventually I would think this thing gets to a point where we just get tired and overpay for someone if we get turned down a couple of times.Quote:

Have you heard Wes Goodwin's name mentioned any?Quote:

Wes scoring defenses were 22, 30 and 49th nationally at Clemson. Better than most think because Clemson under achieved from not playing the talent game required.Quote:
