Swinney: No rift in Clemson camp

Swinney: No rift in Clemson camp

The alleged scrap between Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier has been, if not laid to rest, at least explained in better detail. Full Story »

so in other words there was an incident...


Oct 13, 2009, 6:50 PM

but dabo and billy are down playing it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

so in napier's words...


Oct 13, 2009, 6:53 PM

Napier said that what happened was simply business as usual for a college football team.

"Obviously when you've got the band at practice, rumors are going to fly. Just a normal, intense practice with intense, competitive guys. Hopefully we'll have more like that."

I think the band members didn't realize that football.....


Oct 13, 2009, 6:54 PM

practices is not a bowl full of cherries. Clemson was working on some plays and they were not getting done correctly. So Dabo got on Billy.

GEEZE that is part of football. the girls in the band did not realize that this happens in football from time to time. IT WAS BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The rumor didn't come from the band


Oct 13, 2009, 6:57 PM

It came from the AOC blog

And what makes the AOC blog a legitimate source of info?


Oct 13, 2009, 6:59 PM

It is a blog full of conspiracies about our coaches, university administrators, etc. Sounds like that blog's author has his or her own misinformed agenda to push. People go to great lengths to attain notoriety.

Dabo does not need our help to look stupid.His offensive hires along with his offensive schemes show me how much lack of judgment that he has and why he is not head coaching material.

Re: Translation::


Oct 13, 2009, 7:07 PM

Rift or no rift,both Dabo and Billy are totally incompetent on an offensive game plan.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Which is why they need to let Brad Scott help.


Oct 13, 2009, 7:13 PM

Like him or not, he has experience calling plays on the offensive side of the ball (see "The Finish" of 2003).

What does that have to do with anything?


Oct 13, 2009, 11:26 PM

For the third time in this thread, the band didn't report it, AOC did. It's not like the band's website says "DABO SWINNEY GETS INTO FIGHT ON PRACTICE FIELD." Yeah rumors sometimes get started but thats just how people are.

Coaches, please,for Gods sake, SHUT UP and COACH!!!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So if the coaches are asked a question about a possible rift


Oct 14, 2009, 5:17 AM

they are supposed to stop the press conference and say, "Sorry, I can't answer that, I need to go coach now?" Sure, that'll put any rumors to rest!

Plus, you do realize that there is a specified time for practice (which is limited to a certain number of hours by NCAA rules), as well as a designated time for a weekly press conference, right? This was during the weekly press conference, so I don't know why you would expect him to be "coaching" during this time instead.

Re: Swinney: No rift in Clemson camp


Oct 14, 2009, 9:44 AM

Some people on here doesn't know the difference between a coach that doesn't do anything during practice (TB) and a coach that is mean and gets in players/coaches faces when they need to. What do you want, a coach that goes around patting them on the backs and saying "its okay" after losing to Maryland?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No, I want a coach that knows how to run a program


Oct 14, 2009, 10:06 AM

and knows how to manage people. I want a coach who doesn't put his assistants' jobs on the line by mismicromanaging them. I want a coach who knows the offense well enough to not call the wrong protection scheme when he signals in plays. I want a coach that's smart enough to know when you invite outsiders to practice, there's a chance that stuff will get out, even if it's stuff that normally isn't at all a big deal.

I want a coach that knows how to run a program. At least we had that with TB. There's plenty of blame to go around for our 2-3 start. But problem #1 right now is Dabo's management style. Period. And we don't really have time to wait for him to figure it out.

As long as they get it done on Saturday... They can have a knock down drag out fight if they want as long as Clemson beats Wake on Saturday. I'm glad they are getting mad. He better be mad! They all better be mad, angry, and ready to beat up on the deacs this weekend!!!!
