Muschamp's replacement.

Sorry, I missed the thread on it a few days ago. Would like to chime in mwith my two cents worth.
1. Above all else, no one at Clemson should be worried or even concerned over who the next coach will be. As someone rightly pointed out, Clemson will be just fine, regardless of who goes to Columbia.
2. No "big name coach" would consider USC at this point. Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, lIncoln Riley, Kirby Smart, Tom Herman, or anyone else with name recognition would consider it.
3. There is no Steve Spurrier (former succesful college coach who is getting run out of the NFL) out there.
4. USC, when they go 4-8 this year will have to decide, "Do we keep Will around another year and hope, or do we cut ties with him and go hire some "young and hopefully up and coming coach" who is either an untested assistant or a HC at a non Power Five school?"
I have no diea what they are going to do. But, if I were in there situation, I would have already called Josh Huepel's agent and asked if he would be interested, "just in case." (I don't think he would be interested. I think he is Lincoln Riley's replacement when Riley heads to NFL (Dallas?).
Other than that they may decide to go the Herm Edwars / Mack Brown route and hire some 60+ year old ESPN analyst.

the "Hot" name. How many teams are breathing a sigh of relief that they did not get stuck with Muscoot? How many lists was Dabo on when we hired him?

Full disclosure: When Dabo was hired...

I didn't have a clue who he was! Not. One.
After I researched...I was hopeful. Aside from, perhaps, Patterson, there wasn't anyone on the horizon that looked attractive. I'm fine with hiring from elsewhere, so long as there's a track record of substance. But...unlike the 'Hen-house' in the mid-state, I'm not one for retreads...I don't care how many Natty's they had one...in the years prior.

I don't think there is a single person at Clemson whether coach, player, staff or fan that is worried about who the next coot coach will be. It sure is fun to bask in their misery though.

Nobody is going to want Harbaugh, either. Riley, Smart,

and Herman are in the best situation they could hope for, now. Not sure I see Meyer coaching again, but he may. Regardless, it won't be SCar. The best they could hope for is finding the next young non-P5/FCS coach. The question will be, who will take that job, much like their last search.
Like you said, though, as a Clemson guy I ain't worried about who it is. We have a better situation than anyone even ever dreamed about 10 years ago.

They are going to have trouble (again) finding anyone...

willing to take the job.
If they want an experienced coach, guys like Art Briles, Hugh Freeze, Bobby Petrino or Butch Jones may be their only real options.

With Briles being the exception because his issues were not football related, I will accept their choosing of another failed head coach because I'm not sure that the scar job is any easier than any other previous job.
Also of note, if anyone at this point hires: Art Briles, Petrino, or Freeze (Liberty included) then they are selling out any idea of morals or positive atmosphere for the program.

uof5c hired Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier so morals, character and integrity went out the window years ago.
Frankly, they are so desperate for football success, if those deluded inbreds though for one second that doing so would lead to more wins, they would knowingly, willingly and gladly compromise what little is left of their morals, character and integrity and hire one of those clowns.

their fans will revolt. I know that sounds strange, but I just believe they would after the botched search by Tanner and what they've been through with Muschump. I don't see the new prez going that route for some reason. A few years ago they would have. Tanner needs to go too. They need a clean slate. They got a new prez and he's going to want his own people in place, especially given the failure that the cash cow is right now.

Actually, I was thinking that even DJ Durkin might be on that list. Interesting since he was a muscoot product.
What ever happen to the interim UMD guy Canada? He actually looked like he pulled a really fragmented team together from a absolute mess.

from uof5c fans.
He is a career NFL guy and has never coached or recruited at the collegiate level.
Furthermore, he's making $4 million annually working as an NFL analyst for ESPN.
He's not giving that up to go to Columbia and take-over a perennial doormat.
