Love this hire. Wish we had never let him leave.

What could have been done differently in 2008?……think he would have turned down the chance to run his own program?

 

[muscleknight]

He was a failure at clemson. He should at least have dropped their program to muschamp level and ideally to Brad scott level

You can bet the house this is a Tanner decision more than a Kingston decision. Kingston might want to be exploring his options.

100%. Anyone who thinks CMK made this decision on his own is not being honest with themselves about the state of the program.

It is a smart hire for Kingston. He might just be the one who helps him keep his job

 

[CWW]

Why not Powell? He said he would take any position on the staff!

 

[Forkcock]

Lee is not coming here to help Kingston keep his job.

If so, he might be willing to work with ML if Kingston doesn't work out.
Batgirl's previous reply on the hire seems logical.

Hopefully Lee is here to build player relationships and remain when Powell comes in next year to save us.

 

[Kitchenlabs]

I have seen comments from former players who are very much in favor of this hire.

 

[HillsToSea]

Lee is not coming here to help Kingston keep his job.

Then why is he coming?

 

[BoldCock3]

Then why is he coming?

He’s likely to be our next head coach.

 

[Carolina Doc]

I'm a little concerned about possible "chemistry" issues between the coaches. I hope my concerns are unfounded. Maybe they are good buddies, I don't know.

 

[Forkcock]

Then why is he coming?

I think Lee sees it as a pretty good gamble to be our head coach in short order.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

Someone needs to.

Geography? We also need to consider that Lee would prefer to stay in SC.

Oh, I believe that. In fact, I think it was a smart hire. What I don’t get is why Kingston would bring in “his “ grim reaper. According to some RT made this move so ML could take over. That doesn’t make sense to me
