Don't forget during the Clemson glory years they actualy had an offense that took heat off the defense. Since Lawrence left their offense has sucked and has put a ton more pressure on the defense. Bottom line Venables defenses rally never had to carry Clemson and after Lawrence they do. If anything the Clemson defesne is possibly playing better now than they ever did in those years Venables was coaching at Clemson...and counting the won loss record of Venables at Clemson is assinine. After all he was just the DC not the HC...
Saying Clemson hasn't been the same since he left is as well. It attributes the state of the program to the dc. Of course saying he's the second best coach in America is as well. Which is where this all started.
Java waving the white flag so he has to create a new argument.
Let's try this a 3rd time:
Venables leaving "obviously had a major impact" - Java.
An impact can be positive or negative.
Whe you say Venables leaving "had a major impact" are you saying it was a positive one or a negative one on Clemson?
Also, when I posted "Clemson hasn't been the same since Venables left." Please show where I said Oklahoma had a good record last season or mentioned Oklahoma at all in that statement.
I believe "Clemson hasn't been the same since Venebles left" and "Brent Venebles is the second best coach in America" is what started it.
Why won't you defend what you said?
No is crying. But no one is also apparently interested in joining this thread. My guess is they're all too smart to waste an evening on an ovbious point.
Using your logic clay helton is a better coach than Lincoln Riley. How long have you felt that way?
My argument is:
Clemson 2022 immediately after Venebles left? Almost exactly the same as just before he left. The Clemson slide started in 2021 you dolt. With Venebles.
Oklahoma? 2022? Immediately upon venebakes arrival and Riley's departure? Disaster.
USC? 2022? Immediately upon Riley's arrival? One of the best turnarounds in the sports history.
Let's score this at home.
No impact
Disastrous impact
Dramatically positive impact.
Remember. You hate Riley and usc so your judgment here is clouded. It's ok Art. It's not the first time you've been nutty about something
Citing a national ranking after one game where the Duke offense got 4 free shots at the Clemson d to finish the game is sheer stupidity and intellectual dishonesty
"Help me guys!" Poor Java.
That Venables defense. 49-0:

Tough call
Can I have a few minutes to think about it?
