I would not be surprised one bit to find out Bates was...


Jan 3, 2022, 2:41 PM

actually fired by Dabo earlier today. He only played 2 years in the NFL, which is a major red flag, and he wasn't exactly burning it up on the recruiting trail this year. I wish him the best going forward, but if we're being honest with ourselves, we knew this was coming.

Just hope he doesn’t take anyone with him.

Agreed, not shocked or worried about Bates leaving but...


Jan 3, 2022, 2:48 PM

I am a bit concerned about him taking guys with him

Who? His wife and children. Not many folks like poetry. Ask Shaw.

This killed me. You sir, are funny. His poetry came off with a hip hop Dr. Seuss vibe. Still hard to knock him too much for wanting to ensure more success under Brent. We knew he was an up and coming young coach.

Plus he's not a Clemson alum

And we all know that is a requirement to be employed by Clemson football these days. Either that or you have to be a child of one of Dabo's buddies. Or at least that's what I read on www.thetigernet.com.

That would open up the views. Net positive-

What’s the big deal? You lose a D- line coach. You had never heard of him before Dabo brought him to Clemson. There are plenty more guys out there. Watch and wait for the next Big Thing. It’s coming soon.

Not signing a single DL in this class is a pretty egregious

Re: I would not be surprised one bit to find out Bates was...


Jan 3, 2022, 3:14 PM

FM clearly has an understanding on the pulse of something. We knew something was coming.

Another point. Did Bates introduce any recruits at Dabo's signing day program? I do not recall that he did. Another red flag?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I was wondering the same thing...


Jan 3, 2022, 3:16 PM

I don't think he did but I could be wrong.

So if these things we true, then it totally makes sense that Dabo promoted him to assistant head coach. What they call that, the Peter principle?

Jan 3, 2022, 3:23 PM

Dabo was going to fire the guy that he just promoted to assistant head coach?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think you misunderstood...


Jan 3, 2022, 3:28 PM

Dabo DID just fire the guy he promoted to assistant head coach. I would love to see the new buyout for Bates after the promotion. Glad Dabo got out ahead of this and stuck it to OU.

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It's almost never for them.


FM you're funny AH!!!!

Jan 3, 2022, 4:24 PM

Our program it’s not even debatable.

It’s clear Bates and Goodwin aren’t on the same page because they never played together. It’s as simple as that…
