New Story: Swinney on Winston situation: An asterisk okay as long as Tigers win

Swinney on Winston situation: An asterisk okay as long as Tigers win

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said Wednesday that if Clemson manages to pull off the upset Saturday night at top-ranked Florida St., he doesn’t care if the record keepers put an asterisk next to the win….as long as the Tigers win. Full Story »

I knew deep down in his heart Dabo wanted the Big 12 thing.

I'll take a W* over an L any day. But no asterisk deserved.


Sep 17, 2014, 8:24 PM

If you recruit low character guys because they're great athletes, then you get both the benefits and the problems. It's a package deal. So no asterisk needed. You reap what you sow.

Much to Clemson's credit, it seems that Bowden & Dabo have tended to recruit higher character guys, eschewing some lower character stars that other coaches are happy to accept. There's an occasional character evaluation miss (like Joe Craig or Mike Bellamy) but Dabo tends to rein them in or boot them out.

That's one of the standards set over the Danny issue.


Sep 17, 2014, 8:44 PM

Not that Danny recruited trash as did FSU and most of the SEC but since then our quality of character has seemed to improve year after year.

I think we're nearly there.

I think that sums it up nicely.

I liked our chances even with Winston. Other than Chad Morris play calling that killed the defense late in the fourth quarter this young team is a lot better than people think. The good thing about these young talented 4 and 5 star players are they have never lost to Florida State or the Gamecocks and with proper coaching they won't start now. Go Tigers!

The 1 thing that stands out to me has nothing to do with JW


Sep 17, 2014, 10:39 PM

Maybe it's just me but Dabo needs to tone it down just a bit when he speaks of the opponent. Maybe I am being just a tad bit overcritical because Dabo's strength is his ability to speak.

Still, he sometimes comes across as almost defeated before the game. FSU isn't the 49ers.

We got players too. They need to be as confident as their leader sounds. Anything can happen in college football when you have confidence and anywhere near the same talent. And despite what most people think here, we do.

Go Tigers!

He also must have missed all of Danny Ford. Every game -


Sep 17, 2014, 11:08 PM

EVERY GAME .... the team we were playing was nearly as good as the 1968 Green Bay Packers and our youngsters were going to be lucky to get out alive.

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

Sep 17, 2014, 11:44 PM [ in reply to The 1 thing that stands out to me has nothing to do with JW ]

Man, what are you thinking? Dabo handles that part of interviews very well. Raise them up high so that they think they win this game with no problem. It will hurt them worse when they fall. Start saying my team is as good as theirs, and it pisses them off.

Eh, to each his own.

I didn't see the other interview though. I liked it much better.

2 years ago backup QB Thompson came to DV and beat us. Asterisk or not, beat FSU and USC! Getting tired of not. Dang go play!
