For those who remember Larry VanDerHeyden


Jul 8, 2011, 4:01 PM

This post is in honor of the Leamon commit.

Some days I don't even know why I log in and read some of the crap that comes up on this board because I don't live in Clemson anymore and I'm light years from my glory days as a Shrine Bowler at Daniel but here's something for all you naysayer's...Robbie Caldwell and Danny Pearman are going to coach the best offensive lines, this year and the next several years to come, since Larry VanDerHeyden coached the offensive line at Clemson. Coach VanDerHeyden was hardcore, just like Danny, and if you weren't ready to strap it on, then you could just leave the field. I personally knew guys who quit playing for Coach VanDerHeyden because they couldn't take being held to his standards of excellence. Pearman and Caldwell aren't playing Tommy Bowden soft and that's why Dabo put them there.

Now, as for Dabo, I love this guy. Hell, if you think he's got problems, you don't know anything about all the crap Clemson's been through since the mid 60's. Yes, Danny was THE COACH, but he was more green than Shrek (you young dumbins' get that metaphor don't you?) his first couple of years. Here's something for you...if you ever spent time around Coach Howard or Coach Ford, then you you've got to be pulling for Dabo. Who the hell were Howard and Ford before their success at Clemson? I'm not a prognosticator but I'm hoping this is Dabo's time. Regardless, I like watching the drama and I like pulling for the guy.

One more thing while I'm at it...Gary Patterson wasn't coming to Clemson...neither was Chip Kelly or Rich Rod (careful what you ask for) or Will Muschamp. Clemson is NOT Texas, or Michigan, or even Florida. If your dumb ### has ever been out of Pickens County then you would know this. People who can retire to Palm Beach don't pick Lake Keowee, even if it's the prettiest thing you've ever seen (and it is beautiful)...trust me.

So man up, quit your whining, and start pulling for Dabo and the Tigers, with all the gusto someone like Coach VerDerHeyden would have expected. Things are finally coming around in Tigertown...
