Clawson Resigns from Wake Forest

[zjscuse]

Monken? I think Wake needs a gimmick to compete. If Ga Tech could do it for a while, why not them?

Say what you want the paul Johnson days were so fun to watch unless it was the 50 something to whatever shafer days drubbing.

On a rainy day.

The only SU game that I've ever walked out of... back to our tailgate, mid 3rd quarter when it was apparent that things were not going to get better

FWIW, Clawson played high school football with Moose Johnston. I believe they are good friends to this day. I remember when Clawson was mentioned in our coaching searches when DM or SS were hired. Wish we got him instead of SS.

Clawson’s amped up sideline demeanor during our games seemed to indicate, to me at least, he was still annoyed he wasn’t recruited out of high school by coach Mac and wasn’t seriously considered for head coach by AD Gross. He seemed to be way more animated when his teams were playing us

I hate to be conspiratorial, but we’d kicked NCSU’s azz the week before in Raleigh. It seemed obvious that we had to be taken down a peg. GTech somehow committed only one penalty (which was declined), despite taking out big Jon Raymon on a chop block from their center and committing several more uncalled illegal chop blocks, calling a dubious roughing the passer penalty on us while not reciprocating when Terrel Hunt received a similar if not worse blow to the head, and a halo infraction on a punt return gunner that wasn’t warranted. No googling, no searches, this is just off the top of my head ten years later, the anger I felt for such an obvious hatchet job by the ACC refs

That's the night the light went out in Georgia. Raymon was such a good guy too and to have that happen really stunk.

Good for Wake making a hire so quickly. I guess it was true Currie was ready to act if Clawson decided to step down.

So poor Washington State has lost their conference, all their rivals but one, most of their starters, their head coach, their OC, their DC and even their star QB.

I do not expect a lot of their fans to show in San Diego. My heart goes out to them. Their program was at or close to its apex, and then everything fell apart.

I blame the B1G.

Dickert has a nice resume but as far as I can tell, he has no background in the East or the South. We Syracuse fans hvae learned it can be tough for a head coach in the ACC who has no ties to the NE or the South.

Good luck to Jake. I think he needs to make some really good choices with his staff to have a chance here.

Slowmesh was awful to watch. I hope to never have to watch that crap again.

I don't understand why not sending a line backer on a Bobby Boucher blitz every play to blow it up wouldn't have worked.
