I am ready for the Garrett Riley experiment to be over.

Maybe time to move on from Riley and put a call out to Jeff Scott and see if he would be interested. If I can call the plays from 100 yards away and tell exactly where you are going, it has to be really easy for a Def Coordinator to always guess right. And the same applies to defense; we were outplayed, outcoached, outschemed, and outworked.

Jeff Scott would be a step in the wrong direction

We’re not firing Riley to bring back Jeff Scott. If Dabo were to make a move, it’s going to be someone who’s currently in the game. My dream is the Ravens continue to struggle and Dabo can convince Monken to come back to college football. Luke and him coached together on the UGA title team so there’s familiarity.

I’d fire him now. Let an interim OC call plays the rest of the year

Bringing back Jeff would get Dabo fired imo

He has no talent to work with Klub is a mental midget, and a pvssy We have no running game at all. OL is garbage. And the WR group is the worst since Terrence Ashe was a starter.

Y'all have forgotten the recruits that Jeff Scott brought in while being a WR coach. • Clemson has been to a bowl game each of his 11 years as a full-time assistant coach, including three national championship berths and two national titles. • Had a big impact in Clemson winning five ACC titles. He has been on the staff of seven ACC Atlantic Division titles in the last 10 years. • Was a finalist for the 2018 Broyles Award as one of the top assistant coaches in the nation. • Named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals and as ACC Recruiter of the Year by 247Sports in 2018. • Helped Hunter Renfrow earn the 2018 Burlsworth Trophy, presented annually to the most outstanding player who started his career as a walk-on. • His receivers helped Clemson produce the fifth 4,000-yard passing season in school history in 2018. The 2018 season joined the 2015 campaign as the only seasons in school history featuring both 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards. • Shattered the school record for total touchdowns in 2018, scoring 90 to break the previous mark of 75 set by the 2016 team. • Coached the 2016 team to record-setting passing yards (5,009) and touchdowns (45), while averaging 503.5 yards per game. • Coached first-team All-ACC wide receiver Mike Williams in 2016. Williams recorded his second 1,000-yard season and a team-leading 11 touchdowns, and was a second-team Walter Camp All-American as well. • Coached wide receiver Artavis Scott to three All-ACC seasons (2014-16). Scott broke Sammy Watkins’ school record with 245 career receptions. • Named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation and ACC Recruiter of the Year in 2015 by Rivals. • Named co-offensive coordinator prior to the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl. • Named one of the top-10 recruiters in the nation by ESPN in 2014, one of the top-14 recruiters in the country by NFL.com in 2014 and one of the top-25 recruiters by Rivals.com in 2012 and 2014. • Coached first-team All-ACC and first-team All-America wide receiver Sammy Watkins in 2013. He had a school-record 101 receptions for a school-record 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also set or tied school career records for receptions (240), receiving yards (3,391) and receiving touchdowns (27). • In 2012, he coached first-round draft pick DeAndre Hopkins to a second-team All-America season. Hopkins had 82 receptions for 1,405 yards and an ACC-record 18 touchdowns, second-most in the nation. • In 2011, he coached one of the top receiving duos in school history in Watkins and Hopkins. Watkins, the national freshman of the year and a first-team All-American, had 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hopkins had 72 receptions for 978 yards, adding five touchdowns. • Helped the Tigers to a top-25 ranking and the ACC Atlantic Division title in his first full season as an assistant coach in 2009. • Took over as Clemson’s recruiting coordinator in December 2008 and the Tigers put together a top-10 signing class in his first season (2009) at the position. Then in both 2011 and 2012, Clemson had top-10 recruiting classes. • Son of former Tiger associate head coach Brad Scott (1999-10), and was thus part of the first full-time, father-son coaching combination in Clemson football history. Brad is an associate athletic director and is still a member of Clemson’s staff since retiring from coaching. • A member of three bowl teams as a player at Clemson during the 2000-02 seasons. He played in the 2001 Gator Bowl, 2001 Humanitarian Bowl and 2002 Tangerine Bowl. • Had his first full-time college job at Presbyterian College in 2007 as wide receivers coach, then came to Clemson as a graduate assistant in 2008. He moved into full-time status when Tommy Bowden resigned at midseason. • Began his coaching career at Blythewood (S.C.) High and won a state title in his first year and the program’s first year. It is believed to be the first time that occurred in South Carolina high school football history.

Everything starts and ends with Dabo. How many different coordinators with no different result. 3? Neff just got an extension so he needs to sit Dabo down and tell him every relative of a university employee will be let go. Every family member will be let go. Every coach who hasn’t coached somewhere else will be let go. He can remain head coach if he follows those parameters. If he does not want to he is free to retire.

I keep hearing more and more analysts and FB people in the know pretty much call Riley’s run blocking schemes garbage.. In fact if I watch another slow counter where we can’t even come close to blocking it or another RB hit the wrong hole when we do block it imma pull my hair out.. Garrett Riley is a fraud period

OC is only as good as the QB. We have no QB therefore we have a bad OC. Clean house minus Luke and let Riley bring in his own staff and a portal QB.

Don't fire Riley - fire Spiller, Richardson, Grisham and maybe Luke (he might be a bad coach but I'd like to see more of the guys he's recruited before making that decision). Let Riley help hire the new guys and run his own system, not the disastrous Clemson offense/dirt raid trash

I was never a fan of the Riley hire. I want him gone. But I don’t want Jeff Scott back I love what he’s done for us in the past … but I want new voices and new leadership that’s not part of the Clemson family tree.

100% this. I’m on Harbaugh’s firing watch. I've posted in the past that my Raven die hard buddies HATE Harbaugh right now. They want him gone. And outlets are reporting they’ll go after Freeman perhaps. But to piper’s post, if that happens, I want Monken!

I think we 100% need to get an NFL guy. I just don’t know realistically who that is. But I think the way college football is trending, you need the NFL level of OC to immediately implement a system for an ever changing roster. Scheming is also more important than ever because rosters are so watered down with the transfer portal.
