As you know by now, Marion Hobby has decided to leave the Clemson Tigers and go coach for Jacksonville Jaguars. I’m here to discuss recruiting implications and where Clemson might turn for its next defensive line coach.
First, why don’t we get this out of the way. Chris Rumph was never going to be a part of Clemson’s staff. Rumph burned bridges when he left and has continued to douse that fire with kerosene on the recruiting trail. Never ever was going to happen. My assumption is that Rumph’s agent threw it out there to get him a raise (or to try and stick it to Clemson—there is no love loss between the two parties).
