I think what Dabo might not understand….


Sep 26, 2021, 9:43 AM

Is many fans don’t expect an ACC championship every year or a playoff appearance every year. Those things are icing on the cake, and yes, we have become quite spoiled.

However, we should expect consistency. Elite programs should never look this bad. We have recruited way too well for this. Either the problem is coaching, the wrong players are playing, or both.

It’s the highly paid professionals that are causing the problem, not the “amateur “ college student athletes.
Getting beat is one thing, it sucks but hey we got beat.
Losing is another altogether

Most fans I don't know don't mind getting beat by better teams. It happens.

This is a level of disorganization, zero preparedness, and flat out embarrassment that we could get with a coaching staff at an eighth of the price. IRDGAF what you did 3 years ago when this is how we look on any given Saturday.

This staff deserves every bit of criticism for this ####. And I hope more people pile it on bc it's horrible.

Obed® Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling very vindicated here as of late. I don’t need to be correct at the expense of Clemson losses, but let’s just say I’m not the least bit surprised at how this season is going. Buckle up, because it’s going to get worse. Shipley and Bresee may well be done for the season. 5 is a bust. We may well end up 8-4.

The way forward now is:

- get out in front of the rest of the teams and go get your new OC now, not in December
- New OC can “decide whether to retain staff,” but really they all need to go
- wake up to the reality of college football now and start recruiting other teams to use transfers to reinforce the roster

Not be a total victory dancing doosher right now but it’s tempered by the fact that it’s my team losing. Would feel better if we’d predicted the demise of Alabama coming or something.

Bottom line is 75% of the fans are wise to the issues now. There wasn’t enough critical mass before to force Dabo’s hand, even though some tough moves 3+ years ago (that yes, Saban would have made) would have had us in contention again this year instead of looking like Tommy’s final year.

I really don’t know if he’ll learn from this. Nice guy loyalty to a fault is his Achilles heel and the nepotism involves with our scholarship decisions and coaching hires has been shameless.

And here’s the other thing I honestly don’t know……


Sep 26, 2021, 10:19 AM [ in reply to Re: I think what Dabo might not understand…. ]

Early on Dabo had his hands in every aspect of the team, sometimes too much. That’s dropped off a bit, necessarily, but has he delegated responsibility to TE to the point that he was seriously not expecting us to be this bad, or did he see it coming all along and hoped for the best?

Frustrating part…


Sep 26, 2021, 11:18 AM

Is EVERYBODY sees it…how are they watching the film and not seeing it? You would have to be functionally retarded.

Seeing no changes in four weeks that led to this loss (which I was about 90% sure would happen).

If it shows up another week, Dabo needs a little outside pressure.

I’d sign up for 8-4 right now.

I don’t see 6 more wins on the schedule.

The Ted Lasso positivity stuff is nice and fun, but when the offense is this big of a dumpster fire, don’t pee on our leg and tell us it’s raining. It’s insulting and turns people off.

I watched he and Tony’s interviews from last night. Elliott has no answers. Former players are going off talking about our archaic offense and high school route trees, and he’s got no answer to any of that.

Dabo on the other hand, I get the sense he’s telling us he knows we’re bad. “This is where we are right now.” We’re bad on offense, 5 ain’t it, and we have nothing on the roster to fix it right now. He is basically telling us to buckle up.

Every non-scoring drive was the same


Sep 26, 2021, 11:05 AM

First and Second Down: inside run and WR screen in some order.

Third down: low percentage intermediate pass with no prayer of completion.

If that's "who we are" then find players on the roster who can do that. If we don't have players who can do that, call different plays.

2021: Bama, Ohio State, OK, UGA, and us.

Bama and UGA have kept on rolling.
OSU and OK have both struggled some but nowhere close to the low level of our struggles, unless OK did last night against WVU. Didn't watch.

A rebuilding year was foreseeable and foreseen. I thought that meant dropping a few games and losing to UNC (lol) in Charlotte. But to look this bad against inferior talent is not something I expected. To get worse as the season progresses is inexcusable.

If they fix one thing per week, assuming there’s anybody left to play defense, come November they might just get by UofSCar.
