Clawson offered by big school

[jpfalcon09]

I must hear announcers say some BS or something incorrect 10-20 times a game. Does anyone really believe Clawson is/was on the cusp of landing a major job? I don't see it.

After 4 plus seasons he has a losing record, winless in bowl games, only 1 win against our rival and most troubling to me are the consistent ass woopings against BCS teams. Florida game aside BG has looked flat out awful against mediocre BCS teams. VT, WVU and Indiana ran circles around us.

Now I'm not trying to make this a piss on Clawson parade because I think he is an above average MAC coach. I like a lot of the things he has done here. He cleaned up the program and and improved depth across the board. But let's be honest here he hasn't lit the world on fire. Very few major schools are looking for a 4-5 year rebuilding plan. If you're not making waves by year 2 you are going be on the hot seat whether fair or not.

This type of scenario always brings up Turner Gill to me. He rode one good season at Buffalo as MAC Champs into a job at Kansas, but now he's coaching in the FCS ranks. Teams who are struggling will always look for the next best thing, that includes Clawson, but it doesn't mean its going to lead to instant success. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
