Seemed like Shelton Felton had some good GA recruiting connections. In all of Bowden's years, I only remember one coach moving on to better opportunities - Terrell Buckley (Louisville). That's because they'd already reached the pinnacle in coaching- being on the staff of a Bowden. Quote
zippy5 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Shelton Felton is the best name ever and I'm sad he's gone Quote

One thing that many successful football teams have in common is consistency in the coaching staff. These guys are like rats jumping from a sinking ship. Quote

All these guys who have moved on have done so because their expertise has catapulted them to bigger roles at bigger schools or the NFL. What is this rat nonsense about? 2 Quote

This shows me Arth is bringing in good people on his staff. Now he needs more good players and hopefully we will have something to root for here. 1 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 Some people just see what they want to see. Sometimes consistency= mediocrity (see Rob Senderoff). Consistency can also mean you spend your entire life making the fries. Moving on often means you've done well and are sought by others for the quality of your work. 2 Quote

Arth gave a presentation in Tommy Evans last night. From what I saw hes focusing on quality young men. Also, GPA is up .8 points. His assts have a recruiting chart that looks to to weed out partiers, tardiness, medical issues, academic problems, etc. Although, I'm sure they are compromising on a few. Quote

I saw him "working" the JAR. Very personable guy. He certainly has the team going in the right direction off the field. Let's hope on the field is next. Quote

At the start of last season the 6 returning assistant coaches at Tosu had a combined 18 years at Tosu. Clemson is pretty good. At the start of last season the 10 returning assistant coaches there had a combined 62 years at Clemson. Two of them had longer tenure than the head coach. Quote

72 Roo Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Zipmeister, you must live to think of ways you can attack the football program. Arth is our coach, get used to it. Direct all other communication to Larry Williams and leave us out of it. ? Quote

Change my earlier reply from all to most successful programs see assistants leave for coordinator or head coaching jobs elsewhere as they climb the ladder and move on. Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Funny he mentioned Clemson retaining their staff because last I checked nobody still wants their unpaid intern ?. Even I-Coach was good enough to land a position coach job after his disaster at Akron. Edited March 11, 2020 by kreed5120 1 Quote

LZIp Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Looks like we have hired former Coventry HC, Ed Egan, to be Director of recruiting/high school relations. This position was previously held by Alex Kline. Looking at his twitter, he still appears to be involved with the program, so curious to what his new role will be if he is. Quote
