Humility built it, arrogance is destroying it…

First of all I want to say that Coach Swinney has allowed me to experience heights as a Clemson fan that I could only dream about and for that I will always be grateful.

But…

-when I see 81 playing meaningful snaps in both halves of today’s game I question that. No fault of the kid but there are double digit kids playing this weekend in Colombia in the SCHSL State Championships that haven’t sniffed a Clemson offer. That doesn’t help us today but Clemson being one of the premier programs in college football shouldn’t be at that point.

-as another poster mentioned below either Cade is real bad or DS and BS are unwilling to admit at this point they were wrong about 5. Even if, it’s Cade is bad don’t you at least have to give him a fair shot. The only real chances he’s had have been unbelievable pressure cooker situations or early in the season when the kid is amped up I’m sure. If he knew he had a bit of a leash would it be better?

-the play calling on offense if completely unimaginative and I have a hard time trying to figure out what we are trying to do (what is our identity). On the last interception. 0 was WIDE open but he was half running, why is that? My guess is DJ is told where to throw the ball and whether to keep or give on every play. Also, I’m in the camp that Coach Swinney is making a lot of those play calls. He does an awful lot of talking with that Waffle House menu in front of his face when we are on O. Watch other head coaches you want see this. A lot of them don’t even have their mic flipped down. My theory is this why he hires from within because he wants to call the plays and he knows if he brought an outsider in and tried that he would be outed by someone that was a coach and not a friend/coach.

-Lemanski Hall shouldn’t be a coach at Clemson not should Mickey Conn. Clemson needs deserves football coaches not friend coaches. Best is the standard not best friends is the standard.

Again I will be forever grateful to Coach Swinney and in a sense I feel like he built the ship if he wants to run it aground I guess he should do it. It’s just sad to see it happen and today was one of the saddest days as a Clemson fan in a while, I was at ND too and the feeling leaning both doesn’t even compare imo.
