What if you were told Nico threw as many picks this year as Crompton did in 2008?

You would be painting incomplete picture and it would be an extremely idiotic comparison:

Crompton (2008) = 86/167, 51.5%, 889 Yards, 4 TDs, 5INTs
Nico (2024) = 199/303, 65.7%, 2512 yards, 19 TDs and 5 INTs

Crompton also led the country in worm homicides and ant farms destroyed in 2008.

It was great to see him turn it around halfway through 2009.

You're the one that said he "threw pick after pick". That's the only thing I addressed. By no means do I think Crompton was better, but you're the one acting like he threw 25 picks that year. He actually threw more in his "good" year.

There's a different realistic level of expectation at Wake. If you have 4-5 losses a year here you're out the door before long. Clawson strung together a half dozen seasons in a row between '16 and '22 where Wake won 7 or more games. Population of Wake coaches to do that, ever? Clawson. You have to go back to WWII and that Peahead Walker guy, when there were nine game seasons and ties, to find a Wake coach who did more.

Edit: I ignored the shortened '20 COVID season in that stretch, where they won 4 games and admittedly didn't get to .500 for the only time in that stretch.

Clawson resigns as Wake coach, becomes advisor

Wake Forest football coach Dave Clawson has resigned after 11 seasons with the Demon Deacons and will remain with the university in an advisory role.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Had the fanbase been more patient and administration more understanding of the changing dynamics of college football, he could have helped Fulmer turn the program around and into what Bama had been; only a decade earlier. Fulmer saw the changing offense landscape and brought in one of the best. Clawsen and the clawfense was not bad nor is it now. Just have to have the right players. Evident Fulmer knew what he was doing with the two QB recruits he had coming in.

Had we survived UCLA, they would have been fine. They had no business losing to 3-9 UCLA in 2008. That was the final straw, IMO, and it haunted that season.

After 2005 someone got in Fulmer’s ass. He lost a bunch of weight and somehow got Cutcliff to come back for a year. 2006 was a good year with a not so great team.

Fulmer came to one of the rec league basketball games to watch his players whip up on me and my team around that time. Those guys were strong.

Two years. Cutcliffe was offensive coordinator here in both 2006 and 2007.

I'm not so sure Fulmer had that vision. His preference to want to hire a coach that was going to install a pro-style offense with a lot of 11 and 21 formations as he did with Pruitt doesn't exactly lend itself to the idea that he was ready for a modern, dynamic offense.

Hamilton hamstrung him with salary aspects of the hire. Make no mistake, Clawson was not the highest commanding OC out there but, Fulmer got the best for the money allowance.

Aside, who was the kid that CLK sent away that turned Clemson around? QB?

So it's Hamilton's fault?

Go back and check out Clawson's comp package and then get back to us
