I assume BV believes he can help Wes and perhaps the combo will work …. Who knows but he will definitely need BV to be hands on and very involved

I would have thought that BV would have watched the games that we lost and saw how ineffective the Goodwin defense was before putting him on his staff, or he did, and he thinks it's something that he can fix or adjust...

There is a 3rd option and it is the scariest for Clemson, Goodwin was not the problem. I don’t think that’s the case but we as fans don’t know everything that goes on within the confines of the football facility.

Our biggest issue on D this year was the lack of player leadership. Not skill so much, but the leadership and inspiration from a few players that has been a hallmark of our success there. Hard to say whether or not that is on Wes or not - lots of coaches in that room that you'd think would make a difference. We need a few to really step it up in that area next season or we'll just see more of the same no matter who is leading that side.

Maybe the problem at Clemson was individual players not being able to get off blocks, losing individual matchups, missed tackles, being in the right defense, but failing to set the edge or simply getting pushed off the ball.
We all saw that happen a lot. There are defensive calls that can help put another hat where it needs to be, but at some point, the players have to make the plays. All the teams we play against have 85 division one scholarships as well. We love our players, but sometimes they just aren’t the best players on the field.
During the great run we had Austin Bryant and Clelin Ferrell who were big strong bodies setting the edge. We had Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence in the interior who nobody could push around. Kendall. Joseph was never going to play in the NFL, but he was never going to miss a tackle either.

Y'all are probably both right. Could be they're just better complements to each other than other mixes. I kinda hope so because if this hire doesn't work out well they're both in hot water come next season's end.

No it's talent. Our defensive front is getting physically manhandled. That's why we're not able to stop the run. When you say lesser teams, you're going by their name and reputation, not the abilities of the actual players on the field at this moment.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Talent and coaching go hand in hand. You cannot have a competitive program without either. Talent has been less compared to other Clemson Ds, yes. But the poor tackling, no in game adjustments, lack of development, making average QBs look like Heisman candidates, that’s coaching.

Actually, no it's not. They make adjustments. The adjustments just don't work.
I'll ask the question I keep asking. If your front 7 gets blown off the ball, what's your adjustment?

Wes was playing the right scheme against USuCk in the first half with three linebackers. In the second half, he adjusted and played with two, pulling Sammy Brown out. That proved a big mistake and Wes never corrected it though we were getting gashed. That’s all coaching.

That goes to my point. He did make adjustments, they just didn't work. I also have to say I don't agree that pulling Sammy Brown was the problem. I simply don't believe that Sammy Brown beats sellers one-on-one.

Somebody brought up the 77 yard run against Texas the other day. People were trying to say that Sammy Brown was out of position or or some other excuse. If you go watch that play, the truth is, the three down lineman didn't get any kind of penetration at all. The defensive end and the two linebackers who were up on the line got eaten up by blocks. The tackle for Texas was able to go unlested up to the second level and completely ate up Sammy Brown on block and pushed it back about 10 yards. That's got nothing to do with scheme. That's just their guys up front with our guys up front. And frankly that's been happening a pretty good bit.

Clearly a statement from someone that doesn't know football...simple case in point, even after our loss to UGA to start the year the 'experts' all said we had an equivalent from 7 to UGA, talent wise, and that went across the board, player for player. It's not and hasn't been a talent thing for many many years. That said, our DEs were not, and did not, show out like our DEs have in the past so that certainly hurt a lot, but that's it.

That's pretty rich that you're going to accuse me of not understanding football, but you back up your point by quoting talking head "experts" in the media. It is obvious that we do not have the talent that we had in years past when the defense was elite. It's not because they're at a position all the time. And particular, the down lineman and linebackers are not able to get off blocks and re-establish their line of scrimmage is the defenses in years past were able to do.

Once they hear him speak especially. Brent must just think he can trust Wes to call a similar game plan to what he would with his minimal direction. And that he can lead Wes through the rest. We don't know for sure but you would think what we see from Wes in pressers has to bleed through in his on field coaching and recruiting.

I don't understand why Dabo hired him as DC, nor do I understand why Brent is hiring him as DC.
Goodwin is obviously a brilliant defensive mind, and has impressed great coaches like Dabo and Brent, but that doesn't mean he has what it takes to be a defensive coordinator.
This is major college football. Taking risks like this can literally cost coaches their jobs. I don't see how the risk is worth it when a more experienced and proven DC could be hired.

Yet we only had one DE on the roster who was talented enough to be a starter and only two LBs talented enough to be starters on an elite team. Dabo also confirmed we had two problems as he is replacing the DC and went to the portal for the first time (on a defensive player) to nab an DE. To believe that Wes was our only issue or that talent was our only issue would not be correct based on the facts at hand.

I'm posting it because it's true. You're going by ranking services and not actual physical talent. With the possible exception of Peter woods, none of the Interior alignment anywhere near as good as Christian Wilkins or Dexter lawrence. It's not debatable. With the possible exception of TJ parker, none of the defensive ends are anywhere near is good as Clelin Ferrell or Austin bryant. Again it's not even debatable. With a possible exception of Sammy brown, none of our linebackers are anywhere close to being as good as Dory and O'Daniel

That brings up a couple of points. One is, if Harley any teams ever have that kind of talent, you have to take that in consideration when evaluating Brent venables. The other point would be, that just proves the point that we don't have the talent that we had in years past.

I would guess that Dabo saw that he had a great mind for defense and
Jan 2, 2025, 1:52 PM
[ in reply to Help me make it make sense. ] |

thought he could develop the intangibles associated with being a great DC.
Now I'm assuming that BV knows Wes well and knows what he brings to the table and what he needs to develop, and perhaps thinks that he is the person that can get Wes to bridge that gap. Which I can see...hard to think of someone who embodies the intangibles of Defensive coaching better than BV.
Will be interesting to watch.
As for taking risks...everyone likes to think they are a college football coaching hire expert. But you're not. Neither am I. Proven hires don't always pan out and unproven hires are sometimes homeruns. There are a multitude of intangibles in a fluid playing environment. It's why, when CBB was on the hot seat, I always advocated for a young, hungry coach. Made more sense to me than paying a lot of money for a "proven coach" and seeing where it went. You could get a young coach on the cheap and reward him for winning. I don't really know what I would advocate for now, with the coaching environment being so crazy.

So 2 time national champion and one of the best defensive coordinatiors to ever coach at Clemson believes that the problem Clemson football is certainly not all on Wes Goodwin and he believes that Wes can be managed in a way that makes him more successful
I share in that belief and the people on this board who think firing him are going to solve all of our problems will be in for a rude awakening next season

no one thinks it solves all our problems but Wes was a problem and a big one. Having never played a down of college football he had no idea how to teach fundamentals or run a defense. Venables made him look like he knew what he was doing but the guy was in way over his head. Venables is done after this next year anyway with the schedule he faces but he sure is gambling what little chance he had away. Venables will be the head coach and D coordinator for all practical purposes. Removing your best player for a whole quarter has 0 to do with talent. You are right in that we need more talent but anything will be an improvement over this years defense.

If Brent coaches the LB's and puts Wes in the booth where he belong all along and was where he was when BV was at CU, then he will be very successful. Dabo says he gives all his Coordinators the option of where they want to coach from (Booth or Field) and that was a mistake with WG, because of his stature, looks and weak voice, does not but the fear in the players during the heat of the battle on Gameday.

Yes, BV will put Wes in the box where he belongs and they will be fine. The problem we had is Dabo isn’t a defensive mastermind who his a sixth sense and can coach the fundamentals.

Or it will surely be the last nail in the coffin for Brent Venables as the Oklahoma HC. Imo it's his last nail!!!

How in the world are they going to introduce him? “We’ve just hired the former DC from Clemson University. Every year that he was there, the defensive production consistently fell. Now WE have him.”
Huh?

Wes will ruin OU's defense, and both he and Brent will be out of a job. I feel bad for BV. He is inviting big trouble for the Sooners on defense. It will be the final nail in the coffin for Venables "shaky" status at Oklahoma. Bad, bad move if this happens. Thank God Goodwin won't be at Clemson next year.

Hate it for the sooners, not really, but I’m sure happy that he will not be at Clemson on the sideline this year. He would’ve been better served if he had been up in the box just analyzing and making calls with someone on the ground for him.

WOW!.. the "Good 'Ol boy network won't work here. Goodwin was probably the worst DC in Major College Football this year, other than Miami's.

I feel like BV knows his own self is the best dc in the country. He can bring in wes and work together as they did at Clemson. Wes will watch film and give BV the analytics and gameplan together. Wes will call defense with BV having the option to call it when he wants to. Halftime adjustments will be down together.

Brent is still calling the defense I imagine. Wes will be brought in and serve almost like an analyst with the DC title. My understanding is that is why Zak Alley wanted to make a change too, because he wanted to call plays.

If he’s wise, he will keep Wes in the box upstairs

Wes in the box, BV on the sideline. It will probably work. Wes should not have been on the sideline, that’s not his skill set. I think Dabo tried to replace BV instead of using Wes for what he’s known to be good at, which is watching games and analyzing. I think he will work out pretty well at Oklahoma personally.

He’s gonna go back into the role that allowed Dabo to give him a shot at DC. He’s the numbers guy for Brent. He’s probably telling Brent the probability of a particular play being called and Brent initiates the defensive call to counteract it. We may have screwed up by letting this guy go back to Brent. Brent is the scheme guy. Wes is the brains behind the numbers.

I hope I’m wrong. I really do lol. But maybe that’s why he couldn’t pull the trigger on specific because he’s fighting numbers in his head. Yo! What if????
