maybe we can get a good cheerleader type coach like Dabo.

and the coach doesn't dig the hole...the linemen dig the hole.
At least our coach doesnt give the same 3 "coach speak" rehearsed answers to every damn question.

despite his many flaws....not many college coaches have a resume as good as that of Steve Spurrier.

Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins has run-in with NCAA - NCAA Football - Sporting News
lets see what the NCAA thinks
How ironic.
Dwight Jones’ ’1st annual’ birthday party nixes his last game at North Carolina - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF Blog - Yahoo! Sports
As reported on Monday, the NCAA has gotten wind of the flier North Carolina receiver Dwight Jones posted on his Facebook page over the weekend — the one touting the "1st Annual Dwight Jones New Years Birthday Celebration," and featuring $20 bills falling into the frame from untold heights — and incredibly, it doesn't like what it sees. Which means Dwight Jones may be spending his last college game chilling on the bench:
The University of North Carolina on Tuesday declared Dwight Jones, the Tar Heels leading receiver, ineligible for the Independence Bowl after Jones allowed his name and image to be used to promote a party in Burlington, his hometown.
NCAA rules prohibit athletes from allowing their name or image to be used to promote an off-campus business or for-profit entity. Jones committed a secondary NCAA violation when he allowed his name and image to promote a birthday party in his honor on New Year's Eve.
UNC has applied to the NCAA for Jones' reinstatement. Jones apologized in a statement and said the party has been canceled.
Dwight Jones’ ’1st annual’ birthday party nixes his last game at North CarolinaThe flier — featuring not only Jones' name but also his picture in a UNC uniform, both potential NCAA violations — promises free admission to the "first 24 ladies" at the door, plus "24 free shots every hour on the hour" and a $500 cash giveaway for "some lucky ladies in the building," all courtesy of D. Jones. (Admission starts at $10, if you're interested, or $20 for VIP. Dress code is "sexxxy casual.") It also touts Jones as a "2012 NFL Projected Top Draft Pick," which should end any hopes for his senior season even if he's still allowed to have one.
Time will tell if the soiree has actually been cancelled or merely "cancelled": Considering it's scheduled for five days after the Tar Heels' appearance in the Independence Bowl — Jones' final game in a North Carolina uniform, if he gets to play — the party will have no bearing on his future eligibility. As a senior, he doesn't have any future eligibility.
But the point here from North Carolina's perspective isn't whether its star receiver attends a party or violates a thousand NCAA rules when he won't be setting foot on a college field again. The point is that North Carolina is making a token effort to stay kosher while Jones is still under its roof. As of Dec. 27, he's free to declare for the draft, hire an agent, bathe in a waterfall made of cash and tell the NCAA to take its moldering amateurism rules and shove 'em. As long as UNC put its foot down when it had the chance — and it has — Jones' post-Independence Bowl social life isn't on the compliance department anymore.
That's a good thing, because North Carolina is still awaiting its fate from the NCAA on a litany of major violations, including "failure to monitor social media" in the wake of former defensive lineman Marvin Austin's tweet heard 'round the world last May. UNC has already fired its head coach and athletic director, vacated 16 wins from the 2008-09 seasons and put itself on two years' probation. The last thing it needs is another excuse for the Infractions Committee to add to the pain.

How is that Ironic.....your guy is sponsoring the bash and promoting it himself.
The one with sammy they used his name without permission, and it has since been removed. Thus Sammy will play
quit trying to compare our student atheletes to your student thugs
*edit* wasn't this the same idoit wide reciever of yours that was talking trash and claiming to be the "best" in the ACC before the Clemson/UNC game, I believe he left DV with one catch and Sammy had 200+ all purpose yards

It's ironic that I ragged on your guy only to have my team have the same issue a couple weeks later.

it is ironic how slow I am
Not sure "ironic" is the right word. "Self-evident" fit's better I think

Looks like UNC is going to have the whole Southern Miss coaching staff.
University of Illinois defensive coordinator and interim head coach Vic Koenning joins a list of three Southern Miss assistants that have gained NCAA approval to recruit for UNC. Also on the list from Fedora’s Golden Eagles staff are defensive line coach Deke Adams, defensive coordinator and secondary coach Dan Disch and offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Chris Kapilovic.

Btw, it should go the same way that it went for Watkins and the UNC receiver, caught it early enough, no issue. Good luck, though.
Former Clemson staff member, probably the best hire they have made in football in years.
