Get a Grip !

I completely disagree! The gamecocks earned the win and completely outplayed and out coached us. I am very disappointed in the play of most of the team. Shipley played great and should have been used more in the second half. On defense, Trotter played pretty well. The oline didn't open hardly any holes. Shipley gained most of his yardage on his own. The dline, which should have been dominant, just wasn't. Some of the defensive backs played OK, but when we had to play freshmen because of injury or ejection, we suffered the consequences.

I love Dabo to death, but he is going to have to use the transfer portal! I know he doesn't want to, but we are going to have to get some immediate proven FAST, STUD receivers and some defensive back help, or we will be in this shape again next year. He will most certainly have to make some coaching changes too. I know both of those things will be difficult for him.

The receiver for the ##### ( I don't know his name or number), who played for James Madison and transferred to usc, is a great example of what we need to find. Someone proven on the college level, maybe someone Dabo recruited before that went to another school and showed out, or one who didn't chose to come here quick enough, and their position was filled, so had to go somewhere else, but proved that we should have originally taken them. Becoming WRU again is extremely important. As much as I hate to say it, the only wide receiver we have now that will be drafted high is Antonio Williams.

I trust Dabo to get things going in the right direction again.
GO TIGERS!!!

Exactly right, people do need to get a grip. No matter what a disgruntled fan might think sometimes you lose games you think you shouldn't. People on here talking about firing Dabo and pulling DJ's scholarships are being foolish. No program wins the national championship every year. No program beats their rival every year no matter how optimistic or blind to reality their fans may be. Star ratings are educated opinions not absolute guarantees of success. So, yeah, those assuming you should win because you have more players with a higher star rating is an indication that they don't need to be making coaching decisions. Oh, by the way, DJ's numbers were worse in last years South Carolina game and we won 30-0. Not saying he was great but there might be other factors at play here folks.

Hey, look, coaches get paid a lot of money to take the heat so I don't really feel bad for them taking criticism for this game. However, I am also glad the vast majority of those commenting don't have a say so in CU athletic department decisions because I don't want to go back to the days of Ken Hatfield or the Tommy twins. Dabo has built a culture and a pipeline that is difficult to replicate and sustain and when a guy like that leaves a program the success rarely continues. And make no mistake, even these last two years Clemson has been successful. Yes, Dabo is loyal and that may cost us at times but all of you would love it if he was your boss or coach and was loyal to you. And while he may have to change his ways a bit in the future so far his loyalty and stubbornness has brought us 2 national championships and 7 ACC championships since 2011. I think I'll give the team and the staff another chance before deciding their fate.
