I have said it for years.....There is only ONE MAN that can


Oct 23, 2013, 5:24 PM

Change the overall mindset and perception of CLEMSON TIGER FOOTBALL!

ONE MAN that is needed now more than ever on this great Campus so many of us have called home.

I am just fine with DABO being our Head Coach. I wouldnt want it any other way. He has done and continues to do great things here at Clemson. I truly believe he is one of the top 10 coaches in America in regards to building a program.

I do sometimes wonder if all of the players have bought into DABO himself. I think they all respect him and I think they all genuinely like him (how could you not), but I don't think all of them can relate to him.

But there's ONE MAN that I Know for a fact would've found the right words to say on that sideline Saturday Night when that game got to 17-0.

ONE MAN would've had the words, the emotion, the respect and most importantly the fierce look in his eye that would've made our young men run faster, fight longer and hit harder.

This ONE MAN is in Bristol in a three piece suit, in front of a camera,
breaking down game film for the millions of us who think we know what we're talking about.

It's time for this ONE MAN to come back home in whatever way the University, Athletic Department and THE MAN himself sees fit.

YOU WANT TO BE CHAMPIONS??!!!!!

This ONE MAN is BRIAN DAWKINS!

There is no question....

that his leadershipo and his ability to relate to the players would be a tremendous and invaluable asset. However, I have specifically heard him say that he has no desire to leave Denver. In fact, what he really wants to do is help coach his sons high school football team.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

BD Junior is a strong and fast defensive back....


Oct 23, 2013, 6:04 PM

but at only 5'7" (althpough some sites list him at 5'10") alot of Division 1 programs may shy away from him.

I believe he is a Junior now which means he would be part of the 2015 recruiting class.

If he can cover (especially man-to-man), if he play biggger than his size, if he can break on the ball, if he can play the run, and return kicks, somebody will take achance on him.

I was 5'-6" and 140 lbs at the end of my Junior year...

By Christmas of my Senior year I was 6'-2" and 180. Point is, there's plenty of time for him to fill out and mature. To at least not put a bug in his year and a letter in his mailbox may be another Mike Davis-esque mistake.

If Junior is as good a prospect as Senior, then, I am certain we will. I would be willing to offer him anyway, just to get his Dad. Heck we did that for Mark Richt's son, and we offered several of Nkemdiche's pals (who, by the way are going to be pretty great gets for us, IMO). Dawkins would bring a lot of football wisdom to our program. He was a great player for us and as a Pro.

Dawk is #2 on my personal list of Tiger players who you


Oct 23, 2013, 6:14 PM

simply look at and TELL he woke up and drank a cup of give a #### every day. The #1 would be THE JUDGE who i will always write in caps because he remains, to me, the best football player i've ever seen in a Tiger uniform in my lifetime. Rounding out my top 10 would be Levon, MD Perry, Jeff Bryant, Keith Adams, Anthony Simmons, Marvin Sims, Terry Kinard, and Ed McDaniel. These were all defensive guys except Sims, and if you could have just one of them on either side of the ball on your team you'd have more accountability and a lot more fire in their eyes, i guarantee you. Each one of them played the game like they were pissed off all of the time and I truly think that we haven't had someone like that on either side of the ball other than D. Allen since the early '90's when Dawk was patrolling the secondary. I don't live in the past but what i'd do to see Bryant drop someone 3 yards deep in the backfield and make that skull and crossbones again, hear and feel DV shake, and KNOW that we were about to take over the game. Pure attitude....when combined with speed and talent it can be unstoppable.

ABSOLUTELY !!! BRIAN DAWKINS WAS A WARRIOR !!!!! HE WAS A BAD ### !!!! HAD THE PERFECT MIND SET !!! IF HE CAN'T GET OUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS JACKED, THEN ASK FOR TIME OF DEATH, BECAUSE THOSE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING !!! WHEN I WATCHED THE GAME, I SAW FIRE AND DETERMINATION ON ALL THE FLORIDA STATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS !!!
