Swinney said that "We aren't on the mountain top but we can see it."
And this is why he should talk less. the 5 out of 10 remark versus FSU and 0-5 versus the coots and then this gem today.

ummmm...what are you talking about...?

where are you trying to go with that comment anyways? a "gem" of a comment...?
i think it's a great comment & testament to our program... ALL our players are academically correct & bowl eligible!!!
not many programs can claim that! it affected us last year (Bryant)...but won't this year! With our receivers this OB shouldn't even be close...step up D & stuff the QB run gaps!!! that's all we need & an A-game from Tajh!!!
tiger74: you're obviously a Dabo hater...
2 more wins this year over our top-ranked rivals & we're in the Nat'l Championship!!!

I like Dabo. Im an 0-5 versus the coots hater. A tanking to FSU hater. trying to pass a good season off as a great one with those two glaring failures is just snake oil sales and I dont like that.
He needs to coach more and talk less

I don't think you are interpreting his comments correctly
Dec 27, 2013, 4:07 PM
|
|
"we're not on the mountaintop" - we're not great "we're looking at it" - we have the possibility to get better and be great
Couldn't agree more.
Even if we had beaten the coots I could not have said we were great. I hate losing to them to but our time will return.

People that dislike Dabo always interpert his comments
Dec 27, 2013, 4:35 PM

incorrectly. Regardless of what he says, it is wrong just like when Bowden was here. I think they all lived for the press conferences so they could nitpik every comment.

or read his words at all. I don't expect a lot from any coaches' public statements. Dabo is always talking in hyperbole and euphemisms. And he always gets behind his team and each player when interviewed (5 out of 10 for example). So he's corny. Not such a big deal.
We'll see how much he grows (he's only 44!) as a HC or if he's at his peak in the next year or two.

Dabo is 1-5 against them as a head coach.
Also, here's a nice little tidbit for you:
Our beloved coach Frank Howard was 13-15-2 against SC. This includes a stretch from 1946-1954 where he was 1-7-1.

When you consider the fact that it's not too far from Clemson to Columbia, I'd hardly call that "homefield advantage"

considering not all Clemson fans live in Clemson, it could be a long way to travel especially since there was not interstate. I-26 was not completed until 1969. At that time people that had cars thought 20 miles was a long trip

until the late '50's/early '60's, it was a several hour trip to get from Clemson to Columbia. And despite the fact there was only around 20,000 people in attendance, the vast majority were chickenfans.

What about Clemson fans that lived in the area? And what about SC fans that didnt live around? You can use hthe logic of "easy travel" either way.
Even so, arent we splitting hairs a bit? If you were to put SO MUCH emphasis on homefield advantage, wouldnt more of our fans be not so worried about losing the last 3 trips to Columbia? Not to mention, back then most teams were run heavy so Im not so sure the crowd noise would have that much of an effect.

Frank Howard was never my beloved Coach...He was average at best ..but much like Dabo ..He was quite the baby kisser and healer of all men... He knew what to say to keep his bosses happy ... A shrewd man no doubt..

I noted the error, too. That statement may be what Dabo actually said, or it could be a miss quote by Mickey or one of the staff. That does happen, too, and if you read lots of the reports on here there are many grammatical errors. This isn't a board for English Majors.

looking at our past record against FSU, home & away...

[ in reply to Re: Football Update: Quick notes from Dabo Swinney after practice ] |

we basically flip-flopped wins over the last decade until they beat us the last 2 times...
how can you say that his 5 of 10 comment isn't legit???
If we hadn't thrown them 4 pics, we probably would've beaten FSU this year!
without even 3 of our 6 gift-INTs against the coots...WE WIN that too, definitely!
2 wins away from undefeated season...YES WE CAN SEE THE MOUNTAINTOP!!! take off the garnet colored glasses off brother...we're doing OK!
GO TIGERS!!!

big-time games on a major stage or we'll never beat the stigma of "clemsoning".
i personally see us going in the right direction if we can continue to improve & win those huge games more consistently...(always preferably!!!)

When we once again start whipping the coots it may be a streak of epic proportions. Their little run is about to be history. It should have ended this year. Recruiting will take care of the streak

It isn't a bad thing. And it probably is a good thing. There is no doubt his personality is attractive to recruits and coaches our we wouldn't be where we are from a personnel standpoint.

it's better to be a pumper than poor-mouther. Just think of Loose Holtz when he was coaching. He acted like he was playing the Nat'l Champ every week. Another thing is that Dabo doesn't throw his players under the bus. Let him put a positive spin on things. Nothing to be gained by negative talk.

What do you mean coach more and talk less? It's his freakn nightly presser after every practice. He does this nightly. You need to get over the losses and move fwd to bowl game.
