Summary
Team-Specific Podcast Notes
- Clemson offensive coordinator friction: Garrett Riley showed discomfort under Dabo Swinney's involvement in play-calling; slow-developing, overcomplicated plays (e.g., Cade Klubnik running sideways instead of 3-yard downhill gains) and red-zone inefficiency suggested lack of clear communication between coordinator and head coach.
- Chad Morris hire rationale: Clemson chose familiar/comfortable option again under Dabo, following pattern of playing it safe; Morris emphasizes run game with improved running back room for first time in couple years, but Chip Patterson cautious on outlook.
- Clemson Football: Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator relationship improving under Chad Morris vs. friction with Garrett Riley; Riley appeared uncomfortable under Dabo's play-calling oversight, particularly on red zone and third-down situations. Morris hire described as safe/familiar option (pattern for Dabo). Running back room improvement allows Morris to emphasize ground game more than prior years. Cade Klubnik's development under clearer offensive scheme worth monitoring.

Who's the best quarterback to lose in a championship game? Um Looking back at who lost these games. >> 2018 Tua was awesome. That was 14 and 0 Alabama against 14 and 0 Clemson. Both teams were just monsters. We remember Quinnen Williams joining us here on the Cover 3 podcast and just talk about what practice was like for that 2018 team. The problem is the 2018 Crimson Tide team is not celebrated cuz they got dog-walked by Clemson in the title game. So, we kind of forget how good they were leading up to it, but Tua in that season with those wide receivers was something special. You mentioned Trevor the next season. He just went toe-to-toe with Joe Burrow and at the LSU war machine, but Trevor at that time had won 29 straight games. Or No, he was not a part of all 29. Clemson had won 29 straight games. Trevor, I think the starter for like 25 of them or something like that. Um I'm not sure who Who else would be on that conversation? I mean, Bryce Young was the number one overall pick.
