You have got to be kidding me with this picture... Everybody on this forum is so quick to bash all of the coaches and players when all YOU do is show up in the stands or watch on tv a game of football. Half of you have never played football in your entire LIFE and want to talk about or make fun of coaches who have played and coached their entire life.... I think Coach Swinney and Coach Steele and the rest of the tiger coaches need to come to YOUR job and tell all of you how sorry you are at your job.... Give me a break folks a real fan admits we got beat by a better USC team Saturday night. Real teammates and fans don't point fingers at everbody ,,,instead they do what they can do pick them up... Thank goodness some of you don't coach and play or we would be in REAL trouble....Go tigers!!!!

I tell you what, you can come to my job and tell me how I am doing. If I am not performing like I should, then you can fire me without any questions asked. If I consistently give sub-par performances year in and year out, you can let me go. If I digress on my job over the course of the year and am not meeting quotas, sales, whatever the measure might be, you can let me go. If I have all the talent in the world but don't know what to do with it, you can let me go. I am not saying the coaches aren't trying, but they sure are getting worked over the last half of the year. They seem to be out of their league. There is too much youth on the coaching staff to turn it around, and we have seen that the last 4 games.
And for the record, I haven't called for anyone to be fired after this year or over the course of this year (well, other than Joey Batson). Also, USC isn't 21 points better than us for sure. I would call that game a toss-up. Last year? Yes. This year? He!! no.

And, "we played great for 42 plays or so, but those 6 that they scored on, well, dang that killed us. We will get it fixed though. We are only a couple of plays away...."

but I beg to differ with "they were prepared and they were ready to go". Maybe that's the problem.

some coaches that have a clue!!
Guess what Chad!! (Dabo too!) Seems everybody (but you two) has seen we've had problems since the Ga Tech game!! As well as indications before that!
Turn the page indeed. Get a freakin' CLUE!

ones that cannot be corrected overnight. You seem to think they are just sitting on their hands and not working to correct them?
This is obviously a bigger deal then we all thought.

we could see it coming. As long as the line held up or the defense let Tajh throw, all was well. But we could see this coming earlier in the year. We have been fortunate to win some of those 8 games prior to Ga Tech. Fortune is a fickle lady and eventually it catches up to us.
The coaches are not stupid, they know what problems we have and talent is the only way to fix it combined with good coaching (coaching up) of the players. This is the manifestation of that poor recruiting class when Dabo took over. It has caught up to us. It will take a year or two more to catch up.
I am more concerned about the energy that I have not seen since VT. USuC was ready to play and played with intensity. We looked dull and slow and dazed. That's about all the coaches can correct in a week.

How about starting the new page by telling the players on both offense and defense to stop showboating after a single good play when you are behind by >10 points!

we still have a chance to win the ACC and go to a BCS bowl, and win more games than we have in a while. I was as mad as anybody saturday night, but now that I've had a couple days to think about it and look at the big picture this team has had a good year and is young and we have a lot to look forward to.

We're not young...we have four seniors on our offensive line, which seems to be our biggest problem right now. The fact that younger guys aren't playing tells me that they aren't better than the ones that can't it done in front of them. What makes you think that we're going to have a better offensive line next year starting inexperienced underclassmen that couldn't beat out the pitiful starters?

Im all for this if im making gobs of money to lead a group of qualified individuals to success. Fact is they make the money to win and if you arent winning its part of the job to take criticism. On the offense i do not understand why chad has become so much more pass happy. He hasnt run many jet sweeps, gone undercenter to get the short yards, used the diamond backfield formation as much as he has when clemson won 8 games. Get back to what was working it almost felt like the last few weeks when clemson got down chad was looking for the.big play in a desperate way. Im guessing he doesnt have faith in the ol to help the run game. I think morris will get the offense straightened up. As for coach steele im no longer on his side and i believe clemson screwed up when they let chris rumph leave last yeae.

Has anyone asked him why he won't run the #### ball? Ellington looked good Saturday and we don't give him a chance? Or how about keep someone in to help the line block? It was obvious they can't protect.

How about sitting Boyd for a series or two during the game?? Can it get any worse than seeing him look like KP did last year 4 games in a row? Had we let Boyd play when we stunk it up last year maybe he would have his "experience".
