You talking about as a prospective NFL coach?

No. But I did read that the Panthers had some interest when they were searching for Ruhle. That sort of surprised me. 
 

   It’s for Auburn. I think it’s the job he’s looking for and I think he’s the coach they need to take a step forward much like Clemson has done over the last decade.

    Recently was part of a conversation about potential HC candidates available and Tony Elliott was a very impressive choice on paper. Any insight into him would be appreciated. TIA. 

Tony Elliott would be a great HC, IMO.

A lot of Clempson fans NOW were fans of a different college team 5 years ago. Doubt they even know who you are talking about. 
 

one Clempson coach to keep an eye on is DC Brent Venables. He will be the HC at UNC once Mack retires, pending, or course, he does not take over for Dabum once he leaves for Bama.

I think Venables is by far the best coordinator in Clemson.  He schemes up tremendous game plans and situational stuff.   

This is actually Elliot's first year being the lone OC.  He's definitely good.  But it has always been a mystery in Clemson IMO about how good the OCs are.  During this run of the last several years it was a shared job and not exclusively Elliot's.   How much of it is just a system that elite talent thrives in?   

but I think Venables is the BEST DC in college football.  Elliot is one of the best OCs.  Elliot just is harder to judge given how Clemson has run their offense the last several years with co-coordinators.  Plus, the Clemson OCs outside of one year w/ Kelly Bryant have had the luxury of having the best QB in college football in their laps (Watson/Lawerence).  Which is pretty absurd to go from Watson to Lawrence to.....DJ.  That makes life pretty easy on an OC.

War Eagle, my friend. 

I think the Tigers would be well served to look at the same route the basketball team recently took with Bruce Pearl. He was a guy who had all kinds of NCAA troubles, rehabilitated his career and now has the Auburn basketball team in a better place than it's ever been. There's a guy we could look at it with a very similar back story.

  That is exactly the questions I had about Elliot. But if he keeps getting elite talent, and it keeps working, I’m good. That’s probably the slight edge I give to Elliott. Recruiting. He could keep Chad Morris to help with the offense. 

  The problem at AU is the huge buyouts on Malzahn and other coaches. Around 25M. I would be happy to have either one over being stuck in neutral another year. 
 

Thanks for help

Yeah, there's a reason why Venables is the highest paid assistant coach in college football.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
