For you coot lurkers on discipline...

Let's compare Dabo's discipline of players vs Spurrier's discipline of players.

Under Spurrier, SCU has 45 player related arrests. Only players that were ever suspended any games were 3rd and 4th string players. All starters and 2nd stringers, either got suspended from the team when zero team activities were going on and then reinstated within a week or suspended from meaningless workouts. Stephen Garcia, the most notorious coot jail bird, was only suspended from a few off season work outs. Steve Spurrier did not suspend Stephen Garcia a single game. And when Garcia was kicked off the team, he wasn't kicked off the team by Steve Spurrier, he wasn't kicked off the team by the athletic department, he was kicked off the team by the University administration.

Under Dabo, 3 Clemson players have been arrested. Jamie Cumbie was arrested for fighting and got kicked off the team. Joe Craig was arrested for fighting with his girlfriend and kicked off the team. Sammy Watkins got arrested for having pot and was suspended two games, including an important game against Auburn.

So let's recap this coots, none of your significant (starters and 2nd stringers) players have ever been suspended for a game under Spurrier, much less an important game. When it comes to discipline, you shamecock fans have no place to talk about any other schools disciplinary issues. Your team has had a very, very long history of players getting arrested and suffering no punishment. Your school has a very, very long history of football players not going to class and academic fraud to keep players eligible. Your football team's graduation rate is 39%, worst by far out of ACC/SEC teams. Many of your former players go on to be jailbirds, drug users, and drug dealers. Let's start with Boo Williams, Demetrius Summers, Derek Watson, and Troy Hambrick just to name a few of your former players that have gone into the drug dealing business.
