I am not on the Chadwell bandwagon, at all. But I would also support just so we know, once and for all.
I vacillate on this. Is the goal to win 9-10 games or win the SEC? If history is any indication, running that style of offense won't get you a SEC ring. But the guy has done well everywhere, and it would be exciting to watch at least most of the time.
To be fair we haven't ever won a SEC title, so I think we need to get back to 9-10 wins a year first. Granted the ring is always the goal.
You don't have to look any further than Jon Sumrall of Troy.... a clone of Kirby Smart and only 41.
The jury is still out on Beamer. He is getting mileage right now on the Clemson and Tennessee wins last year and the UNC game the year before. But some forget we were lucky to beat East Carolina and Vandy in Year One. And the Jax State score does not indicate how fortunate we were the other week . If Beamer does not pan out in the next year or two, we might be that P5 school.
I like Chadwell too. I don't understand why the hiring authorities @ USC did not hire him when they had a chance. Other than that, he'd be my obvious choice before Sumrall.
I suspect the phone would go dead on Tanner's end.
I say let's cross the 9-10 wins a year bridge first, and then decision about the next level.
It is not only South Carolina. Louisville, Purdue, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech and Duke has passed on Chadwell the last few seasons..
I certainly understand that. BUT, he is a WINNER. Schools, including South Carolina, passed on Hugh Freeze, too. Auburn did not. In fact looking at the Auburn board, I get the sense they are happy to have him with one asking, "Is Freeze to Texas A&M a risk we are underestimating?". I suspect that just like Freeze, Chadwell will be leaving Liberty in the next couple of years for a P5 Head Coaching job.
Yes, they did., just like they did Hugh Freeze. But, like Freeze, I suspect he will leave Liberty in the next couple of years for a P5 job. Chadwell has won big EVERYWHERE he has been. But that train has left us. Maybe Sumrall IF Beamer does not work out.
I am sure he will get a chance. If Tony Elliott has another terrible record next season with the Cavaliers, Chadwell could be the coach at Virginia. Freeze was a different story.
Of course. There's always a different reason for passing on one coach from another. But both Freeze and Chadwell definitely have one thing in common: They win. I suspect some P5 school somewhere will hire Chadwell in the next couple of years. And like everywhere he has been, he will win big. Hopefully, Beamer will work out for us.
Damaged goods and inviting volatility isn't the same as hoping the spread-option hasn't passed by the P5 on the whole, and would never have worked against SEC fronts.
Agree. I think Freeze is dramatically overrated. And for one reason or another, he will be gone in 4 years.
I feel fairly certain that Clawson would be at another school within 2 years.
