"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Clemson defensive backs coach Charlie Harbison has been named co-defensive coordinator by head coach Gus Malzahn.

Looks like Malzahn is wanting his Coordinators to be up in the box.

If it helps us give up less than 20 PPG on defense they can do it from a coma ward for all I care.

So, I didn't see much discussion on this hire.

Thoughts?

Will our DBs suck less? Supposedly a pretty good recruiter, at least.

Saw an article that said Clemson ranked 74th nationally in total defense. Not much improvement over Auburn's 80th ranking. However, Auburn's secondary was 100th in the nation in pass efficiency against, while Clemson was 26th. That's significant, I suppose.

Also:
Quote
At Mississippi State, where Harbison was defensive coordinator and safeties coach, the Bulldogs were seventh in the nation in pass defense and 20th in the nation in pass efficiency defense in 2007.

Which is good.

The article also says:
Quote
Harbison coached the Alabama secondary from 1998-2000 and wide receivers in 2003-06. In 21 years of coaching, Harbison has spent 12 with defensive backs and nine with wide receivers.

I'm not sure that's true.

According to teh wikis (which are never wrong), it looks like he was only a WR coach at Alabama for both of his stints, and has only coached WRs there besides his first year coaching at Gardner–Webb.

Quote
1992-1993    Gardner-Webb (WR)
1994        UTEP (DB)
1995-1997   Clemson (DB)
1998-2000   Alabama (WR)
2001-2002   Louisiana State (DB)
2003-2006   Alabama (WR)
2007-2008   Mississippi State (DC)
2009-2012   Clemson (Co-DC/DB)
2013-present  Auburn (Co-DC/DB)

Thoughts?

I will add that I also think it's interesting that Lashlee will be sort of a "co-offensive coordinator" to Gus, since he's obviously going to be the man running the show offensively, then we get a co-defensive coordinator in Harbison.

Interesting that Harbison has been DB coach under Johnson as DC at three different programs (1995-96 at Clemson, 1998-2000 at Alabama, and 2007 at Mississippi State).

I'm happy that we landed Coach Cheese, he knows Coach Johnson's Defense, plus he's a really good recruiter. He's not as good as Coach Troop, he's more along the lines of Coach Thig.

Well hell. I thought we had landed a really really good recruiter but it looks like we only landed a really good recruiter.
