Wonder if the recruits are excited about the prospect of early playing time, or turned off by yesterday's game
DBs and LBs needed badly.

I really don’t think it’s a talent issue in the secondary.
Dicks, Greer, Gray, etc. (even Taylor) have the physical tools, but their technique is lacking - both in reads and positioning. That’s on coaching.
the “blame the players” faction on this board is definitely among its dumbest factions
we’re undisciplined on defense; we played well with in the past with similarly ranked recruits
coaching matters. accountability matters.
Probably not as dumb as the "I don't understand nuance" faction. That it's 100% this or 100% that - can't be anything in between. Does coaching matter? Absolutely. Does accountability matter? Absolutely. Do players matter? Absolutely. Does experience matter? Unless you bring in mostly ready to play 4 and 5 stars every year, absolutely. It's why teams have depth charts and play some guys more than others. It's why NFL teams have scouts. It's why you are probably going to be more successful with an NFL second rounder playing a position versus someone that was playing on the other side of the ball six months ago. Why you are probably going to have a drop off when a starter gets hurt. Why at a place like Wake, Duke, Vandy, etc. you are probably going to have more success playing a red-shirt junior versus a true freshman.
A big part of coaching is understanding what your strengths and weaknesses are from a personnel standpoint and adjusting to that; playing to your strength and protecting your weaknesses. And based on Clawson's comments, it sounds like that failure weighed into this change. It sounds like he plans on simplifying things going forward and play a bend but don't break style. Actually, it sounds like we were trying to do that against ND but broke anyway.
But hey, on the other hand, look how much better our offense got when we fired the offensive coordinator and OL coach before last season. I mean, that was the only thing different about our offense 3-4 seasons ago and last season, right?
Would Clawson offer Sofian Massoud with Mich Griffis already committed for 2020?

I noticed Massoud's mother on twitter responded affirmatively that the two brothers would like to go to college together.

Everyone still feeling good that we'll hold onto Greene? 22fan?
