Did we not win 2 titles with O coordinators that had been promoted from within the program?
Our Tigers have one season where they fell well below expectations and the keyboard nazis go crazy. We won 10 games.
To say that DJ was under utilized is a silly comment. DJ is too slow and often lucky to escape pressure. He has no touch on his passes. And he has difficulty reading the defenses. Only 9 passing TDs all season says a lot although I admit that is not all on him.
We need some receivers with that killer instinct to emerge next season. 50/50 balls need to become 80/20 balls.
But most important is we need a QB that can complete the easy passes and throw our receivers open. If DJ figures it out in the off-season that will be great. If not DJ then next man up.
We have enough coming back at all levels of the offense and defense to be a very good team. BT Potter coming back is HUGE! If a QB takes over and runs the offense and we can avoid the rash of injuries next season, our Tigers could be an elite team.
In my opinion the coordinator hires are a non-issue. Dabo has hired the guys he believes can take us back to the playoffs so I am satisfied.

So MANY time he had single high safety with one on one outside yet NEVER threw the ball in a 50/50 situation. Ever! DJ has to be the worst D1 Qb I have EVER seen. He was given too long to prove everyone wrong.

Please explain how he was poorly utilized. I’ll grab some popcorn. He should have been pulled game three. Period. He doesn’t read the field. Doesn’t go through progressions-stares down one guy. He is the worst Qb to play the game. Prove me wrong.

It totally looked like it tonight! Just like Will Swinney with 16 yards all season starting over Ngata. Yeah. I totally trust that! For the first time I doubt if the best is the standard. Blind cheerleader. The game plan was fla Ed on both sides of the ball all night. Not one pass attempt to the end zone. Routes are still archaic and simple. If you like 10 win seasons, we are on track! Lanning should have been Dabo’s choice. Why follow convention?! Proven coordinators have only won every championship in history. Since promoting within, we have one championship followed with multiple early exits to playoffs or missing the playoffs. Yeah. Right on track. I pray I’m wrong. I’m not optimistic for the first time in 10 years.

If Clemson loses this game, DJ will be considered the biggest bust in CU history. He’ll be backup to Klubnik next season, and will pull out after four games, saying he was poorly utilized (which he has been).
He had better spend the off-season in the weight room, hopefully dropping 25 pounds.
