Re: Coaching Carousel: Any Clawson rumors

FYI ... Here's an article from the Richmond Times Dispatch on Coach Clawson. Pretty consistent pattern so far...

Re: Coach postgame interview

It's been brought up before, but Clawson has built programs. I'm sure Fordham and Richmond were glad they didn't dump him after his first or second years. And, the 2008 Richmond team won the FCS Championship when his first recruiting class were RS JRs and SRs. Fordham (Year/Overall/Conference/Conf R...

Re: I Heart Coach Clawson - Part II

As a UVa alum it would be great if Clawson could get the job, but I doubt it's likely. His family enjoyed their time in Richmond when he was at UR and his wife graduated from William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA). So if the timing were better he'd probably consider the opportunity if presented, but ...

Re: Latest Bowl Picture

I understand from my sources that the current possibilities are Little Ceasar's (Detroit), International (Toronto), or Humanitarian (Boise). EagleBank is not currently in the picture.

Re: Brandon

Anybody besides me find Brandon's current predicament similar to Clawson's last year at Tennessee? He's the OC for a BCS program with a head coach that is clearly on the way out barring some huge turnaround season and is installing an offense totally dissimilar to what they had been running. I real...

Re: Brandon

I've been following DC's career since he took the head coaching job at Fordham, so I was glad to see that he got the BGSU job after a down year at UT. And, very happy to see that his first game was a "W' Thursday night. At the same time, I'm a UVa alum, so I was also hoping Brandon would breath...

Re: 2-Deep for Troy Game

Looking at our 3 deep at tailback, and how Bullock has moved to fullback, I think it's pretty clear the type of tailback that Clawson favors. Not that it's really a surprise from the head coach that groomed Brian Westbrook. He wants a smaller, fast, and shifty back that can probably contribute in t...

Not only did Mike Elko use to coach for Clawson at Richmond, but so did Russ Huesman who is the new HC at UT-Chat. Coach Huesman was Coach Claw's DC at Richmond and was kept on by current UR HC Mike London. So, Coach Claw "stole" a DC from his former DC who, it was rumored, was being pursu...

If DC (Dave Clawson) recruits the same way he did at Fordham and Richmond, he'll focus on getting "local" players, with an out-of-"state" focus in FL and TX.

New to the BG board and just thought I'd add a little interesting tid-bit...

Levi Brown was one of Coach Clawson's first recruits when he was at Richmond. He transferred to Troy after Eric Ward, who just led UR to the FCS championship, got entrenched as the starter a couple of years ago.
