PASADENA, Calif. – After Clemson shut out Ohio State in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, embarrassing the Buckeyes with a 31-0 show of dominance, Urban Meyer made a declaration, he made changes, then he got results.
"We will become a good passing team, we will. Next year,” Meyer said after the loss.
So, he replaced Tim Beck and Ed Warinner with Kevin Wilson, a former Oklahoma offensive coordinator and Indiana head coach, and Ryan Day, an up-and-coming offensive mind who had most recently worked as Chip Kelly’s offensive coordinator in the NFL. Meyer hoped Wilson and Day could revolutionize an offense with a seemingly floundering passing attack.
