Who put Clemson in a time out, if they are actually in one, the NCAA, the Mother, Clemson and if they are in a time out what did they actually do to get put in a time out?
IF Kimrey actually did this or tell Burch something like that I would think that would not set well with Burch or his Mother and they would tell Kimrey and USC to take a hike or lay off for a while. Much like it seems Clemson has been to told to lay off for a while.
Which is sad. One close friend of mine was the HC for a huge 5 star WR Clemson landed back under Bowden. My friend's Dad made sure that both in state schools got visits. He told me that he did it because there will come a time when you may need a job and if you burned bridges with a school then you could hurt yourself finding a job. If Kimrey is doing this what he is really hurting is if he has a kid play for him that is a Clemson fan and could play at Clemson then Clemson may pass on him just to not have to deal with Kimery. A high school coach is not supposed to push a kid towards any school. Help them sort through the process but let them decide.
so after the football season and when the HC isnt as in the picture Clemson should have less former HC presence to deal with
Randy marsh....I thought this was America
Same and I agree. Played all 3 sports w him in high school at DF. I spoke w Erik at a MS event he was speaking at a few months ago. He got a text during our conversation that Jim Harbaugh was at the school.
Erik is a good guy. His Dad, is not.
Remember that Erik was real close to being the QB coach before ole Bentley got the job. I think Muschamp missed the part that a lot of HS coaches in SC hated Bentley. Is Erik salty, no, but I assume this ticked him off at least a little.
I dont think Erik would steer a talent one way or another even one this talented. He also had great things to say about Burch as a person and a player.
I have no intel but I could certainly see him not wanting to stir up a bunch of shit between him and his coaches, friends and teammates. Every time he visits a place where the mascot isn’t a chicken he comes home to a shit storm of questions and people trying to tell him what to do. If I was him I would want to limit that nonsense as much as possible. Same for his parents.
I definitely respect your knowledge and opinion AC. I did not get that vibe speaking to Erik, but you probably have solid info.
Do you think Muschamp passing on Erik helps, hurts or doesnt matter? What has SC done so great for him and his career? Even if he didnt play at SC he could have gotten the job he has now after growing up a coaches son. Plus Erik is way better w people than his Dad, Bud Kilmer.
Good point. Extra heat on this one though because of the extra cootland pressure and the unfavorable returns from Burch's mom, relative to that of Ross and Carmen.
Like I said in another post, though, I'm going to sit back, pour an arnie palmer, appreciate this d-line class for what it is, and let the coaches do their jobs.
This is stupid.......what the heck is Kimrey gonna threaten........ any coach stupid enough to threaten a high school players would lose his job
I feel this thread has a lot of conspiracy theory level misinformation.
Paul's silence is telling, I am just not sure what he is telling. My guesses are either something went down that either soured our staff about him, or something we did bothered him, OR we are in better than Gamecocks think and in order to keep the young man from being bombarded they are keeping a lid on it. I hope it is the latter but silence means something.
He may be a good guy but I’m not aware of any other HS head coaches in this state, let alone the country, that run a podcast dedicated to covering a university’s football program like he does South Carolina. I’m sure there’s more to it but on the surface it appears to resonate a conflict of interests.
I still go back to the rumor that he was a Clemson fan growing up. If true, and with Clemson's success and history with DEs going into the NFL - Clemson would have an advantage.
Could that advantage be overcome by a concern of depth/playing time or "hook or crook"
YES - IT IS RECRUITING!

Everyone has an opinion and a certain body orifice.
He's on the radio a couple times a week in Columbia. He is definitely pro UofSC. I have no idea how hard he is pushing, but I would assume at least a little.
My Friend you do not understand Recruiting! CU today, tomorrow & beyond will recruit a kid regardless of the obstacles. If this is the worst Coaches have to deal with to get a kid, they would be happy. Just relax & trust the CU Coaches to do what they do! High School Coaches, has biases...Yep!
If the kid is a borderline recruit they may not want to deal with the HC. That was my point. Clemson will always go full bore on a stud national recruit. I just do not think a high school coach should burn bridges with an in state school. It can cause issues down the road.
Fandom is different than the profession of sports. He may want Burch to go to SC, but he isnt going to go all fanboy to get it done. His podcast is ok and it gives him a chance to speak to a larger audience.
He also knows Jeff Scott very well and has for a very long time. He knows Tony. It's a small community. A guy like Erik is smart enough not to go crazy fanboy coach for a recruit. That's not a good long term plan for him.
I played at Clemson. My Dad played at SC. It's not like the venom that comes from fans. There is respect once we grow a little older and a little wiser. Have I had to fight a idiot cousin or two, sure. I made a choice and my Dad respected and was proud of it. Larry William's has no trouble writing for the Tigers. Chris Rumph has coached on both staffs. Brad Scott. Miles Aldridge. Rick Stockstill.
Think about it, with all the high school coaches moving up to college these days, would a private school coach put himself in a position to ONLY coach at SC if he ever wanted to move up? Forcing a kid to go to a school he Walked On at is not a good plan for advancement.
I don’t doubt that you know Kimrey well, but you don’t seem to have a great grasp on what he will or won’t do in regards to pushing Burch to USCe.
And this is certainly no disrespect to you.
Again, never said he wasn’t going about it the right way. Just the fact that a high school head football coach is running a podcast focused on South Carolina football is quite different. Would say the same if someone was doing it for Clemson or any other program for that matter.
I tend to take the stance of just letting things play out and not worry about it. Like Paul says... it’s not who you don’t get, it’s who you do get. I’d say we got some pretty good ones. If he goes to USC oh well.
My point was that reporting a rumor you got from the internet does nothing to further a discussion. It just takes the discussion from from actual facts.
Idk why we’re still talking about him he big gone
The more time he spends in that shithole, the better our chances.
I believe he’s there with his team for 7 on 7 tourney.
Kid's got to be under a lot of pressure to go to sc. The longer it goes the better for us.
If Burch’s mom is so pro USC...and everyone around him so pro USC...
He must not want to go there then.
Mack Brown doing work.
As great and true as you feel about this.... i don’t think it’s good he spends that much time there
