And he blames it on everyone but the one who made the most mistakes and played worse than 98% of true freshman QBs, 9 of 29 passes completed with an Int, and several sacks!!! And you're right, he got paid about a $1,000,000 bucks for standing on the sidelines of that game with the power to make changes and didn't, he refuse to try his freshman QB after we've seen him pull better QBs than DJ will ever be bc he believed that freshman could get him a big bonus by winning a NC. I guess this tells when a HC is making too much money!!!

Sometimes I wonder if the way the KB fiasco played out didn’t mess with Dabos head. It was the right call and we won the natty, but it seems like it doesn’t sit well with Dabo and his brain is stuck on it. Who knows why he’s got tunnel vision when it comes to DJ and I’m guessing no one will until he writes his biography years after retirement.

I wouldn't expect anything but delusional rationalization in that autobiography. He's never gonna write, "Now that I think back on it, I screwed up by remaining loyal to DJ, despite his obvious limitations. I shoulda started Klubnik. I shoulda hired proven coordinators. I should have spent my scholarships on talented WRs instead of wasting them on my sons."

It's really simple, Dabo can care about the confidence of one player or the confidence of the whole team. If Dabo doesn't want to make hard decisions in order to win, he doesn't need to be here anymore. Thank you, I am grateful for a decade of dominance, but if Dabo is not going to make changes and bench players when they actually deserve it (and not for a false start) then he needs to go.

There's a word for Dabo's critics on this board. "Quitter". God help me we don't need you frontrunners out there bad mouthing the coaches, the program, the university. We played lousy. we coached lousy, we fanned lousy. And a day later you quitters are spreading out to swear you had nothing to do with the losing. Winning is a different proposition though.

We got what we deserved Saturday. I don't know about the frontrunning quitters on the board, but I am stepping up for UNC and the ACC championship.

I hope you quitters stay away before you poison the team. Like you did in grammar and high school.

The part that hurts the most is Dabo continues to refuse to address the situation with DJ. I get it, he wants him to do well, and he sees potential, but at the end of the day when he continues to perform the way he does, you have to address it. It's not an easy decision for any coach to make, but it is something he HAS to do. I know I am not a coach, and I know he has done a lot for this program, and I know we are not 10-2 without DJ. But we have 2 losses that are on DJ, and I know 1 of them that we had the potential to turn into a win with Cade, and that one was today.

Nov 26, 2022, 6:11 PM

The fact Ship only had 15 touches and was unstoppable and DJ couldn’t throw it in the same area as a WR and we continue to try and pass the ball with the worst QB in college football should show you we were more than “a few plays away”. We were a whole coaching staff, and gameplan away from winning that game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: WATCH: Dabo Swinney reacts to loss to South Carolina


Nov 26, 2022, 6:18 PM

Almost nine yards a carry and DJ throws it twice as often as the leader of this offense touches the ball.. this is all on Dabo, Streeter and DJ. Can’t blame DJ as much because he’s not the one sending himself out and calling pass plays. They keep on we will lose Cade and I wouldn’t be surprised if Shipley transferred. He can go anywhere and be in the hunt for a championship. When the games on the line put it in his hand. I’d be ticked if I was him even more than Cade should be because Shipley is proven and they just took him out the game pretty much at the end

You would think that the coaches would at least give Shipley a chance to be a part of the passing game. I was sure I would see that it todays game but I don’t believe that we tried.
Last year Ship even had a TD pass near the end zone.

We didn’t use the two back set today but a couple of times. All three of the RBs played well today .

Quarterback who can’t throw or make decisions. Wide receivers who can’t catch a cold. Defensive backs who showboat on good plays but can’t defend the long ball. There are three position coaches who need to be called on the carpet immediately. We lost because of coaching. End of story. OC owes Clemson a refund.

I dare say that the direction Dabo is running this team...he does NOT want the fans and IPTAY calling for his removal. Contract or no contract.

DJ started off ok, but by the 3rd quarter, he was done and should have been taken out. Dabo hates it for the fans??? The fans have been telling him for 2 years now to get DJ out. Come ON!

If Dabo let's DJ start the ACC game, I'm not going to watch it, because I know it will be a disaster. USC was a winnable game, by all means we should have trounced them, but in an increased effort to blow sunshine where the sun don't shine, for a QB who chokes, here we are. Loss at HOME and kiss the CFP away, we look like a joke.

Like everyone else, I just don't get it. This game and this season is not about what we've done on the past. As great as it's been, our players are playing NOW and they're being robbed by miserable coaching. Any other coach would have pulled a QB that played that bad. Better talent is on the bench or being robbed of their potential on the field. Dabo"s going to lose our best talent.

Dabo has used an analogy in the recent past …


Nov 26, 2022, 10:17 PM

About kids learning not to touch a hot stove. Unfortunately, in this context, the hot stove is fumbling the ball and following it up with an interception.

I thought DJ had gotten over last year’s woes and he played well to start the year.

However, in each of the last 5 games, he has had a fumble followed up by an interception. It happened again today, but we were lucky not to lose the ball on the fumble… but we did on the interception.

We were lucky to have overcome the turnovers in prior games, but not so lucky in two of them.

No doubt DJ is a great kid and everyone loves him, and I love Dabo and believe in him, but Dabo has also said when someone is not performing, it’s next man up.

So DJ has burned his hand on the hot stove 5 games in a row … and if a kid can’t stop burning his hand, you keep him out of the kitchen!!

Step up Cade … you’re next!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Is it possible that Dabo steps away?


Nov 27, 2022, 12:05 AM

I don’t want him to. He has really looked tired and frustrated to me. Spurrier did it twice. Stoops did it. NIL, portal, likely player contracts soon, ACC falling further, failed internal hires (more than OCDC) - If he stays, Does he have it in him to blow this up and rebuild with the new reality? Smart (now) to the west and Beamer(eventually) to the south draining recruits. Did Venables and Elliott see the handwriting on the wall? I don’t recall seeing anyone in the recruit pipeline that will change the offense. The defense will lose a lot of alleged star power. Klubnik could be better than DJ, but he is not DW or TL, and God knows the receiver corps is pedestrian. Someone tell me this is a really stupid fear.

Nov 27, 2022, 1:01 AM

Good hires made Dabo good, but the new college football rules have changed that. After the WV beat down in the orange bowl he got Chad Morris and Brent Venables. After Chad left you had Jeff Scott with Tony and still had Venables. Now he has no coordinator capable of doing the job and QB1 is terrible and doesn't use the portal. Need some receivers that can get separation and the Tight End does exist but need to throw to them.DJ is not a QB to lead a team if he was as Dabo says then he would bench himself, he doesn't have the mindset to win. The defense has no extra edge as when Jimmy Green Beans was there, no extra firepower or motivation. Streeter is terrible as a play caller, at QB he was not good either but better than DJ. Streeter is Tommy Bowden Junior. Really hate it for the DJ but he is not a QB. Keep playing around with him then Cade is in the portal. Dabo pulled KB the following year after Alabama smoked us and put Trevor in to win the Natty. He had no issue then so now why the hesitation for over 2 years to pull DJ. The Tigers belong to the players, the Alumni, the fans, and Clemson University, not Dabo. He is responsible for their success and failure. When someone is guaranteed money then maybe they think different. If he believes in Team then he better rethink, today it looked like a lot of division. Go Tigers.

Re: TNET: WATCH: Dabo Swinney reacts to loss to South Carolina


Nov 27, 2022, 1:24 AM

The fundamental issue for Coach Swinney is a decision on two paths. One is to continue as before, emphasis on in-house players in a family friendly environment. The other is to become engaged in the transfer portal to pick up needed talent.

That would undoubtedly change the family atmosphere to the extent that teammates won't all be the guys who came in as Freshmen. USC (Southern California) has shown that you can go quickly from the middle of the pack up towards the top with the portal. USC has done it with 19 or 20 portal players, which is extreme, but it is possible to get into the portal selectively. Joe Burrow and Justin Fields were portal pickups, so the Clemson football fortunes could be changed with judicious portal use.

One significance of this mediocre season is that recruits will be considering Clemson differently than heretofore. Our record is good but the odor is not. They are smelling decline. No dominance and two years of garbage offense. We shall see if any, or how many recruits yet to set foot on the Clemson campus renege on their commitment and consider other options.

Shouldn't come down to a few plays with big talent advantage


Nov 27, 2022, 2:51 AM

Dabo's excuse is that it was a close game that came down to a few plays (like Tommy Bowden used to say). But Clemson has so much more player-talent than SCAR that it shouldn't have come down to a few plays!!! We were heavy favorites. We should have beaten the crap out of SCAR on a neutral field, let alone in Death Valley. It came down to a few plays because Clemson was out-coached. Dabo's hubris and blind loyalty to DJ, Streeter, & Goodwin is maddening. Hubris.

I fear that we are witnessing the Bobby Bowden-esque demise of Clemson greatness. Hubris and yes-men abound. I fear that the game has passed him by.

However, just like 2-week old milk, steak, collar greens, and apple pie sitting inside of the refrigerator, eventually all those items will begin to stink and turn into garbage.

Knowing that the Tigers were running the ball so well (averaging 6.4 yds/carry), why did Streeter start calling pass plays when DJU was clearly struggling to hit his targets? Late in the game (like 6 minutes left) we could have run it down their throats and won! It's not always the glamorous plays that win ball games!!

Losing to a better team is OK. Losing because of hubris is not. Dabo makes more $ than all the people combined who are reading this post. That is what makes this entire process obscene! This is an example of what is getting so rotten in the capitalist system. Football coaches making 7-10 X more than the presidents of the same universities. This whole paradigm stinks, and it must be torn-down and rebuilt in a more equitable fashion. Dabo used to rail how NIL was bad, and he couldn’t embrace it, while he was making $35,000/ day. What a sick MF he was to say that. Starve the poor kids and their parents that made his salary, but then justify his yearly raises. What a pitiful hypocrit!
