At Bama being a plus for the Tide at this time. What a spot to put a new guy into. Hope the Tigers can take advantage of this move.

Exactly what I'm thinking, It will be an excuse if they lose. And the people will say that we beat a wounded Bama. People need to keep in mine that this was Saban's choice. Saban don't want it known that Dabo's Clemson team beat his bad A$S Bama team.

Is all about blocking and tackling. Is that going to change with this move? No!

it can be a problem for us. coaches gonna have to study washington and usc tapes for sarks tendencies. sark will be asking 4 and 5 stars with tons of talent to run his plan. we know how to plan for kiffin. sark is an x factor

bet Venables assessment is we play 'Clemson D' against whatever they throw at us... Sark gets to play "Savior"...

Only the play calling in certain situations will change with a new coordinator. Do you think Bama is going to change their approach to this game in one week? No way. They will be the same as they have been in almost all situations. A new coach taking over isn't going to suddenly make Hurt a Heisman kind of QB in a few days. Football is all about getting in a rhythm and doing the things that you do best. The thing that I like best about CLEMSON football is the stability of our staff. We win because of that. Perhaps we have the winning advantage there.

Kiffin had a good feel for the game, he knew when to hit you with the lethal play action deep ball.

is almost impossible. Venables is always changing it up--not many set tendencies.

You're right. See Tony Elliott & Jeff Scott vs OU with Cole Stout at the helm. This could very well be a big deal

In this situation you are NOT changing players. Clemson will be asked to prepare and play against a team they should be familiar with. Just a different coach on the sidelines. Saban is not foolish enough to make major changes. He is sure his team can block and tackle better than The Tigers. IF they can do that.... they have a real good chance to win. VB and co. Ain't gonna allow that!

We also had a month to prepare for that Oklahoma game and not a week. They are going to run the same thing schematically. Maybe different tendencies in certain situations but that is it. Sark and Kiffin coached at USC together and run the same offense. I expect the play calling to be very similar to what Alabama has run all year

Honestly it scares me a little bit,Sark may put in a few wrinkles to catch us off guard.

I can see asking a team in one week to play differently than they are accustomed to playing could be very confusing. IF Hurt was a veteran QB with the poise and experience of DW I would be more concerned. As it is, he will be asked to carry an even bigger load now that this change is made. Perhaps he can do it. I know my man can!

He has not been involved with coaching on the field. He's not coming from inside the on field offensive staff. He has no rapport with these players. He has been watching film and helping the offensive staff.

the game by themselves.
It also shows how much he despised Kiffin and couldn't wait another day to get rid of him.
