Head coach? He hasn't even proven himself as offensive coordinator. If he turns it around and does that, then we can discuss other possibilities

I was thinking the same thing. What a boneheaded article. It must be silly season. I know I'm already starved for sports until Thursday... but maybe some good in depth analysis and articles concerning our upcoming camps.

Or go interview Hester and Byrd on their historic run and ask them what the future plans are and how are we going to compete for nil money for our guys and gals.

Certainly there's better content than writing Garrett's head coach potential. Better be more concerned with the D coaches getting poached. Rant over, sorry.

He’s rarely available for interviews. Dabo seems to be of the mindset lately that assistants are largely off-limits.

Not yet he hasn't, but with a totally healthy Williams, Randal, and others plus the true freshman WRs along with one more TE that could possibly be the threat that Briningstool adds across the middle in Bentancur once he learns the playbook. With those guys in mind, Riley will have enough weapon to make our Clemson offense into the best offense in college FB. That is what I'm hoping for if Garrett Riley is worth the money that he's being paid...

I have been impressed with his performance as an OC, not sure why anyone thinks he'd be a good head coach. After the way his TCU team got curb stomped by UGA and his subpar season as Clemson OC, I haven't figured out what the big hype is all about. Maybe this season will be better.

Well he had success but it is also when he had ties to Sonny Dykes which is an offensive guru. GR definitely has something to prove without Dykes before he is D1 coaching material. GR is young but he does have some good tutelage so I think he has a good shot at being good OC. I'm sure it was major learning curve for him and the offense last year, I expect big improvements this year.

I have been saying the exact same thing.

I have super-High hopes that G. Riley is "that guy"! I hope he can get the offense to be in the top 10 in the Nation and hopefully, an already strong Defense gets even stronger as they have to defend less snaps because the offense holds on to the football(literally and figuratively). And puts pressure on other teams by putting points up in bunches.

I have my doubts though. Besides being Lincoln Riley's brother what else can we say about him "that is not tied to Sonny Dykes in college ball"?

You could mention last season at Clemson; and that's about it. Unless you count his time as WR Coach and a G.A.

I hope he picks Chad Morris's brain at least! Not to get his plays or style; but just maybe concepts. Because when Chad was here the one thing we typically had was an explosive offense.

I want to be shown this season he can do it without Sonny Dykes in a big way. I think he has it in him(based off what he has said in interviews and who he has around him and who he has worked with). But, he has to do it first.

Then, sure, a HC job will be next for certain. If for no other reason, to set up a Riley Bowl game for marketing purposes($$$).

I personally don't believe that the TCU team that went against UGA should have been in the championship game that their record got them into while playing against lesser competition than what UGA plays on their yearly playing schedule. Plus, the big 12 teams has been known for not having a very good defense that faced a Garrett Riley high octane offense that he learned from one that was said to be The Mad Scientist of Football, and as having brilliant football mind.

It has been said of Riley that his play sheet was like a Mike Leach's play sheet, it was described as Leach's offense stressed perfecting fewer than 20 plays and running them to Swiss precision. His call sheet looked more like an airline snack box menu, a weekly mockery of the schematic gurus sleeping in their offices looking for an edge. IMO, his offense works so well bc of fewer plays, and those are the plays that the players can do very well as I hope that Garrett has our offense only doing what they do the best with...

If Garrett can get the type of players that is recruited to Clemson to play 20 plays that can run like a Swiss precision. That type of offense run with the players we have at Clemson, it will be really hard to stop. It reminds me of what Tony Elliott said a long time back, our opponents has to stop the plays that we do well, they will have to defend them better than we can play them...

I would think that part of Riley’s success this year will be tied to any success rate from Matt Luke. If the receiver corp doesn’t show any progress then this will be a major down fall and the next pink slip will be issued.

Yes, but his talent is what kept him winning, just as it has with the Jags. IMO, TL16 talent is as good as any that has played the game, and with a capable OL with the Jags Trevor would be unstoppable!!!

What's the old saying ? You can't make a silk purse from a son's ear.

That's basically what Riley inherited.

He did win the Broyles Award as the nation's best coordinator, so there's that. We were let down yes , but that's testimony to how much work there is to do at Clemson.

For starters CK is still a work in progress. Whether he improves or not this year can be used as a metric to gage Riley. That's fair

I think you can go out on a limb and state the OL will be noticeably better. I would be shocked if that unit doesn't improve.

It's at WR that I'm eager to see perform.
We have playmakers now folks.

Ya got to have playmakers to make this offense go. We need a speed merchant at RB to give us that change of pace to really make the offense more dynamic. I think that person will emerge ( Haynes , EZ ).

In short , we will be better.

We may well be talking about whether or not we can hang on to Riley at season's end

If Cade gets better protection and our WRs get some separation and limit the drops, this offense could definitely be markedly improved.

I forget the exact numbers, so this is ballpark but last season Clemson was around the top 10 for getting to the Redzone (meaning they move the ball well), but were like 100 (or so) in actual scoring offense. Correct the latter and Clemson should be fine (a lot of the missed points were due to turnovers).

If Clemson becomes a Top 15 offense for 2 seasons, then Riley will likely get recruited as an HC for respectable FBS schools. If Clemson becomes a Top 5 offense this season then Riley will likely get recruited as an HC after this season.

I think it will take more than one season of doing well at Clemson. TCU's offense was totally unproductive against Georgia in the championship game. They looked like a cup cake team. In fact if he is unproductive yet again they might want to start looking at him as a coordinator on the hotseat list to lose his job.

TCU was thoroughly outmanned by UGA. TCU was 13-1 heading into the NCG, having just beat Michigan 51-45 in the semifinal. Pretty impressive for a 1st year OC.

Not buying the “reins” theory.
You don’t pay someone $2m to change offense and not see change.
While I agree on Cade - the offense should not be dependent on a great Heisman quality QB. Lots of teams have very good to great offense without generational QBs. Bo Nix at Oregon - a few at UGA - ole miss - etc.
