This roster is loaded with NFL talent especially the front four. This is COACHING….period. We are out-schemed on both sides of the ball. We are wasting our talent and Klubnick looks like a freshman. He’s lost…can’t handle the pressure. And our coaches are lost. Sad to watch

I agree 100%. Also, here's something that everybody keeps skipping around but too many white guys on the field. Too many white guys on the team. We are slow and weaker than other teams. The Rot runs deep all the way down to the strength and conditioning program and nutrition.

Maybe because they are handcuffed by their leader....why do yall think Dabo will tie one hand behind his back when it comes to NIL and TP , but you think Dabo is not messing with the coordinators? Dabo has been screwing with the offensive playcalling for a while(6yrs at least)...

A) we don’t have guys transferring out, so we have no room.
B) Even if we did have guys transferring out, that doesn’t mean the portal has elite players all over the place that magically transform your team.
There’s zero evidence to support that notion.
And yes I’m aware there have been portal players who have flashed and been part of good teams, but the only reason they are there is because the new team had to replace guys who left the program due to lack of playing time.
The portal has moved the needle for literally nobody.

portal history. There were plenty transferring out. Not tons of starters but plenty off the 2 deep that went on to start at other programs. The only 2 we've brought in were last year. Too little too late.

A. Do you know why there’s no room? Because when we couldn’t fill those classes or had flips and filled those spots with low rated players that had offers form places like Furman. If you want me to name those players I can. There’s a bunch of dead weight on this team. Players that should have never gotten an offer.
B. I can give you examples from almost every team that has successful portal players. The WB that beat us today was a transfer and that’s one of hundreds that I could mention across all of CFB.
The portal has moved the needle for literally no one? We don’t have to look far at all to find teams that portal players changed their outcome. SC isn’t 9-3 last year without the portal. Not even close. They don’t have the year they had in 2022 had it not been for transfer QB and WR.

J also bro… no need to argue or try to explain anything to that dude.
He’s nothing but a troll who loves to hear himself talk and wonders why nobody wants to answer him back. Maybe bc he doesn’t even read the response bc he’s waiting to talk instead of trying to really listen.
Dude has no clue about football or roster management.
When anyone in today’s college football says… “the portal has changed nothing for no one”… that tells you all you need to know about their knowledge and whether they’re worth having a conversation with.
This guy is not worth your time or breath bro. He refuses to see any other way than it’s entirely 1000% all Cade and literally nothing else is wrong.
I’ve seen… “if our 5 star QB played like a 5 star… we’re 4-0 period” so many times on here from him tonight that I’m tired of seeing it.
He’s one that refuses to blame the real culprit which is Dabo and will do or say anything to not put the blame on who deserves it most… no matter how many people try to tell him.

Quite literally our best player this year is Will Heldt, the only legit portal player we’ve ever picked up.
Your argument is stale. It is indisputable that you must utilize the portal this day and age.

Poor portal usage is poor coaching. In this era, players need to be scared that if they don’t earn their keep, coach will portal someone in to fight for the position. The current players have no fight because they have NIL and safe starting jobs

Agree on this completely. Dabo thought he was doing something good by not using the portal. He basically handed highly rated HS recruits tenure. As long as they want to be at Clemson, pledge their loyalty to Clemson, they’ll be here. Unless another high school player is THAT much better. Last time I remember him doing that was TL taking over the starting job from Kelly Bryant. Instead of a culture of meritocracy, he fostered a culture of entitlement.
And what’s worse is when the players look at the coaching staff, they see the same thing. Loyalty to Clemson, I’m good.
I don’t think Dabo realizes what he’s done the past few years. When you surround yourself with yes men, you end up with a lot of blind spots.

I like that your two counters are: a general speculation if we had a player that was “80%” of Deshaun or Trevor how would we do, which is such an incredibly vague and nebulous standard; and then, your second criticism, is saying the person you disagree with is a “menstruating woman.” I’m sure your wife would love to see that, your ex wife’s divorce decision would be confirmed, or, if you’ve never been married, you understand why women wouldn’t want to be with someone you views someone disagreeing with them as “menstruating women”.

transfers.
Again, when you lose 5, 10, even 20+ players to the portal then you are forced to sign nor out of the portal. That doesn’t mean you’re getting better and in fact may mean the sum is less overall talent.
I’ve seen some championship teams with petal guys, but that’s because they had to sign them. It may net out better and might not. Just because a guy is in the portal it doesn’t mean he’s some sort of elite talent that’s replacing bad players. He’s transferring more than likely because he’s not not happy with playing time. That doesn’t mean he’s a better option than the guy who he’s replacing.
I’ve seen some transfer guys pop, but again, the elite have remained the elite, and nobody has moved into the elite due to the portal. Nobody. I can’t even think of a team who has become more relevant due to the portal.
Who are your championship teams that were built with the portal?

We should definitely be playing better. And I agree with a lot that you say . But our recruiting has slipped over the past few years. I don’t think we are as talented as some people think we are.
Also think our strength and conditioning has gone downhill.
This program has multiple issues. Not just one. But agree Coaching is definitely a big issue. And if you don’t think that the portal could’ve helped us more, I just don’t know what to say to you. Look, we don’t need to use it like some teams, but use it like Alabama and Georgia. Use it to fill critical holes like 5 to 7 kids a year.
If you are not going to use the portal like we haven’t up until last year… YOU BETTER BE #### GOOD AT RECRUITING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. ELITE. AND WE ARE NOT. We are literally playing the modern college game with one hand tied behind our back. For what reason? CDS THINK HE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT AND GUYS LIKE DAY, SMART, ETC. ALL THOSE COACHES DON’T GET IT. Sorry for the caps didn’t mean to do that

Okay Ill play your portal game.
Sep 20, 2025, 9:53 PM

1. The portal has transformed nobody. When a team loses players they’re forced to sign players out of the portal. They could be worse than the players who left. It’s a wild misnomer that the portal is transforming anyone. Not one single team can say they’ve become better because they had no choice but to sign portal guys.
2. We have the best talent retention in the country. Are you suggesting we kick guys off the team to make room for portal guys, who are normally leaving their teams because of a lack of playing time?
Again, it doesn’t matter who you have played where, unless the QB executes plays right in front of his it’s all for naught.
The clear and obvious issue facing our program in the last 4 years has been that lack of a great QB. Period. It simply can’t be disputed.

Then why all the bad play from the offensive and defensive line????????
Many teams, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio Ohio State have benefited from portal players. Some of those players have helped them win national championships. Keon Coleman single-handedly beat us a few years ago. Who said anything about kicking anybody off??!? Huh??? Replace the players that leave with better players.
No one is freaking disputing that the quarterback play is subpar. But to ignore all the other issues is beyond beyond simple minded. Look at the the underwhelming performance of other position groups.
It’s that simple.

The most important position on the field.
Unless you have that it doesn’t matter who transfers and who comes in.
Unless you’re taking about signing an elite QB from the portal, it literally can’t fix the elephant in the room.
What simple is - you cannot be great until you have a great QB.
Just for kicks and giggles tho, can you name the players you’d lie to replace with a hit or miss transfer, and how would these players change the most important position on the field?
It’s fun to speculate going to Walmart to get elite guys off the shelf, but that’s not the case in the portal.
Name two teams who are great and don’t have a great QB.

This fool just said nobody has come on the scene bc of the portal. I just gave you 2 historically underachieving programs that made the playoffs last year.
You’re entire argument is crushed by this one observation alone.

If the QB plays better than we are 4-0.
Simple as that, and it’s fully accurate.

I don’t think today’s loss can be blamed on Cade. The defense got absolutely gashed today. I know we only scored 21 but the defense allowed long drive after long drive. Something on that side of the ball is waaaay off.
I may be wrong but I think we’ve gone 4-0 on coin toss this season, deferred every time, and each time have allowed long drives or scoring drives to start the game. There’s no attack mentality on defense. We need to be ready to play at the opening kickoff!
Hopefully a bye week will allow some retooling but I’m just hoping for a Mayo Bowl berth at this point.

Exactly
To say the quarterback is, the only issue is just so beyond the pale. Definitely a big issue, but they are many many big issues going on.
The drop off on defense is very noticeable since BV left.
Strength and conditioning is an issue

But without a great QB you simply cannot be great.
Other than the defense getting gashed much of the day, there really is nothing else to pin it on…
Other than the Senior QB missing game changing plays time and time again.
If he plays great we hit those plays.
Same with GT, and especially the same for LSU.
Again, if we had 80% of a DW or TL, then we’re 4-0 and all this handwringing isn’t happening.

You have absolutely stated literally 100 times on this board for a couple weeks that it’s Cade and Cade slimes fault we’re losing.
Backpedaling? Yep bc you realize how ridiculous you sound after today

Randall’s fumble was the dagger that finished off any hope of a W. Sad because Adam Randall was one of a very few players who really performed well and with heart today. Klubnik played a pretty good game I thought.

I agree. It is sweet how the Dabo apologists keep trying to blame NIL

for players not playing hard and for us losing. But Dabo is not a victim here.
Plenty of teams that supposedly pay players more than we do are doing just fine. Money doesn’t seem to ruin those teams.
This is a coaching problem, just like it has been for five plus years.

Even if it were about the talent on the roster, it still boils down to Dabo. He hires the coaches that evaluate the players to recruit, he sets the NIL/portal philosophy, and he does some evaluation himself. So, no matter how you slice it, buck stops at Dabo. Abject failure on all counts.

Not much from the DBs yesterday. LBs are OK hitting the line but not good

in coverage. And something is wrong on the DL: either effort, scheme, or technique. Hard to believe where we are versus talent and last year.

CU has plenty of talent,but I don't see the fire the tiger defense is known for. I am disappointed with them for sure. I was really excited when they hired Allen, but something is missing. Now on offense riley is in way over his head. He has no clue what to do. His schemes are predictable. The offense never seems to get in any kind of groove. The few times they do they can look good. I think the pressure is getting to the whole team. They don't seem to be loosening up and enjoying the thing they love. As far as Cabe goes he's feeling the pressure and I put all that on Riley, he's not much more than a kid himself. One year at TCU got him here. We all know how that season ended.
