Personal letter to the TigerNet community from Coach Dabo Swinney.
Dec 1, 2022, 2:12 PM

Dear TigerNet community,
I’d like to start by thanking you for being part of this dynamic, for-profit forum. Although many of you have no connection or investment in Clemson University, your passionate input has been a lighthouse beacon guiding me thru the darkness during this tumultuous time.
I’d want to take this opportunity to share with you the changes I’m enacting to return our broken program to the lofty top of the mountain you as true fans have earned and deserve. Best is the standard, and that means winning.
Effective immediately I have fired every person on my coaching staff with less than 15-yrs experience in their role. That is everyone. For the remainder of the season I will call all plays on offense using TCU’s playbook, and Ben Boulware will run the defense until I can put a new staff in place this off-season. I attempted to contact Buddy Ryan to fill the DC gap but was unable to reach him because he is dead.
This morning I informed our players that their position AND their scholarships are not secure, and they are but a bad play away from being dismissed from the team.
I’d like to send a message to all transfer portal players and/or ones thinking of transferring: Clemson is open for business and is prepared to accept you. If you’re a better player, you will start here immediately, and we will rid ourselves of the underperformers. As told my son Drew when his grades dipped, you either shape up or get out of my house. Our only commitment here now is to winning.
Cade will now be our starting QB, but I’ve made it clear to him that if he misses more than two passes, one of the Hunters is in. I’ve told DJ that he’s terrible and needs to go now to avoid further embarrassing you. For the same reason, we will decline any future CFP or New Year/6 invites until we are ready to play to the standard.
Going forward and following each game, I will have a 4-hr Q&A session on Tigernet, only I will ask you questions as to what we should do next ensuring your message is clear, so that I properly carry out your wishes in the next game.
Again, I’m so sorry the team and I haven’t lived up your expectations. I know that with your help, we’ll get the compass recalibrated, and return to our rightful place as the best college football has to offer.
Humbly. Your obedient servant,
Dabo Swinney

Can you let him know that Danny Ford
Dec 1, 2022, 2:33 PM
|

has at least 15 years OL coaching experience and proved himself an adept play caller in his tenure here.
Also, since he lacks 15 years head coaching experience, he must also fire himself and find a suitable replacement, like Paul Johnson, who would work very well with Danny

Draines letter to Dabo Sweeney
Dec 1, 2022, 2:36 PM

Dear Mr. Dabo,
My name is Ddraines, and I am a poster on Tigernet. I am a proud defender of any and all of your decisions, regardless of the result, because I believe you are all-knowing.
Last year I finally finished moving out the old Tommy Bowden stuff and renovated the spare room in my house as a shrine to you and your staff.
Please continue to promote within, and do not worry about offensive production or beating any other team other than the likes of Boston College or Louisville. I don't care what anyone says, Streeter is one heck of an offensive coordinator, and DJ is a fantastic QB. Cade can wait his turn because throwing isn't everything.
You won two natties at Clemson, and I don't care if, in a few years, we only win 6 games as long as we can qualify for the Belk Bowl. You've done your part!
Say hi to Spiller and tell him that stars are overrated and can't wait for Keith Adams to prove all those dumpers on TNET wrong in a couple of years!
I promise you that this proud pumper will continue to use every spare second I have defending every decision you and your staff make, replying to EVERY SINGLE negative criticism of your program on TNET because they are all unwarranted!
I found a mannequin who looks like Wes Goodwin and wrote the manager of Dillons to ask for it once they are done with it (still on the lookout for one that looks like you and Street).
Well, that's all, Mr. Dabo. I won't take more of your time; I know you and Streeter are busy working on designing more first-down running plays up the middle for Saturday's ACC Championship!
Go Tigers!!
Love,
Ddaines

I left the Tommy Bowden stuff in place of course and dedicated another entire room to Dabo! The wife can leave the car in the driveway.

We need some perspective on TNet like yours to keep us from slitting our wrists.
Still not quite over that Chicken game!

Haha. This guy thinks we'll win only 6 games if Dabo doesn't listen to him. Ya'll continue to embarrass yourselves.

Just wait till Dabo leaves and tells the media he got tired of the spoiled entitled fake "fans."

Let's summarize ddraines:
-Yes Man
-Unquestioning loyalty to Swinney
-Unqualified to be a coach
Sounds like the ideal man for Dabo's Swinney's coaching staff. Someone send this to Dabo to hook ddraines up with a job.

He was going to replace Tommy Bowden and do great things.

He left out a couple of things, but generally got it correct! He should make Wes and Brandon watch the fight between Buddy Ryan and Kevin Gilbride to illustrate how offense and defense play complementary football!

But what about those secretaries aka admin assistants? They are seemingly not all in yet. Dabo is said to be very disappointed in their commitment towards DJ.
