Oh David Hale SMH


Nov 11, 2022, 12:49 PM

He was just on Sirius XM and if he hasn’t already gotten his name permanently removed from Dabo’s Christmas card list this interview will do it. I paraphrase; but he said that he doesn’t think that Dabo will make any changes in the offseason because he always wants to be smarter than everyone else, and that the reason people don’t like Dabo is because he can’t put himself in other people’s shoes and didn’t treat people well when he was on top. It seemed a but personal and unprofessional to be honest with you; but, more importantly, a guy in the media publicly admitted that they don’t like Dabo.

"Dabo is because he can’t put himself in other people’s shoes" who's shoes is he talking about because Dabo is been in more shoes over the course of his life than most people I know...... I can see why some people might not like Dabo but don't understand that angle at all....

Well, at the moment, it looks like Dabo was a bit hasty on attacking people who questioned DJ. That comment probably could've waited for the season to play out.

about players and the program.

He's the 2nd winningest coach in America since being hired in 2009. He's said a lot of "controversial" things, but what's the problem with that when he's built the program he has? Maybe if he starts failing as a head coach then we can rag him about standing up fir his guys?

Dabo is the only one not questioning DJ, at least the majority has. He’s been looking more like he did in 2021. Most thought we were stuck then because we didn’t have another option. This year we did but …

I can’t believe David said that on national radio though?

And it has nothing to do with Dabo wanting to be "smarter than everyone".

He's fired his hires before and will do it again, if needed. Short of the wheels completely falling off and losing the rest of the games, nobody is going anywhere. Why should they?

Re: Nobody will be fired.


Nov 11, 2022, 2:11 PM

Because they are completely unfit to be in the positions they are in? Do you truly believe that Streeter, Richardson, & Spiller have done anything (coaching wise) that warrants running the offense at a T5 program in college?

They were terrible hires and everyone without orange colored glasses can see that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What are you basing that on?


Nov 11, 2022, 2:36 PM

The performance of the team over 1.7 years, where the QB was completed dysfunctional in one season, rose to mediocre in another 6 games, then fell back to mediocre?

Hard to make ANYTHING work when the QB is struggling so badly. Streeter can't call plays when the QB can only run 30% of them.

How has Richardson warranted a firing?

And CJ? What's the best performing group on the offense?

The only judgements that can be made on Streeter is he's somehow 9-1 as OC, with a below average QB.

My glasses are perfectly clear. There's nothing to warrant any firings, although me personally I'd like to new blood in S&C.

Are you one of those dudes who says heads should roll if we 13-1, win a NY6 bowl, and finish in the top 10? ... despite restrictions at the most important position on the field? Surely not?

Nobody is going to get fired.

Nov 11, 2022, 3:02 PM

seems like it has been really bad the last two years.

Bad blocking, bad routes, bad hands..... things that worse players could do better.

Also, recruiting has slacked off from what it was despite the huge pedigree.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I realize we have a lack of data, but WR coaching


Nov 11, 2022, 3:10 PM

I don't buy the recruiting bit. You hit on some kids and others you have to work with. WR coaching may have some merit although again with hit and miss recruiting which all programs have. For instance one highly regarded slot receiver has been out for two years now with injury. A second was injured last year and must be struggling some as he isn't in the lineup much. If I had my guess maybe receivers coach but outside that I don't see many changes either.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've Saud before.. we could start (5) Coope Kupps


Nov 11, 2022, 3:33 PM [ in reply to I realize we have a lack of data, but WR coaching ]

But we still need someone who can't reliably get them the ball. Until we fix that, there's no way to judge WRs under DJ. Under Trevor and the same WR coach we have now, Grisham led us to the most productive receiving group in Clemson history.

That's what I use to say we seem to have a good coach, but we need a QB who can deliver the ball. I maintain - put Trevor, Deshaun, or heck Stetson Bennett or Sam Hartman is our offense today, and a plethora of "concerns" (8-1, #10?) go away.

We have (5) top 10 receivers and a a top 60. That's among every WR coming out of the respective recruiting classes. I don't know of Ngata has a few plays left, but Collins, Williams, and Randle can be studs when someone can reliably get them the ball. EJ Williams still has great skills as well, but he seems to be taking time to get back to form after injury. And then too, he was in 1:1 coverage the other night for a perfect opportunity to make a play - except for the fact the QB didn't even get it in the same area code.

Spector has 13 catches so far, and may end up with significant time before its all said and done. Taylor is coming off injury but showed flashes last year. Stellato is supposed to have national caliber talent, but he's hurt too.

Am I missing anyone? These guys aren't chopped liver. They are very talented players who just need more opportunities to catch the ball. When almost half of our passes have to be force fed on short routes to RBs and TEs, then you know there's a valid concern with the QBs capability to reliability to get it downfield.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You can't get water out of a stone young man.


Nov 11, 2022, 3:42 PM

DJ had the same QB coach when he was breaking records in 2020, and the same coach actually polished that turd of 2021 for 6 games this year. I mean, DJ is not the most gifted QB we've had, but he can be much better.

The guy has been taught and reinforced for evert nuanc of the game, and he even has a personal psychologist. DJs is Deshaun or Trevor, but he can play like he did against Wake, for example. His problem, that has crept back in, is between his ears. It's not a lack of intelligence, it's a lack of mental fortitude. Some guys have and some don't, but you can't force it into anyone. All you can do is give him all the resources possible. They have to take the next step.

Brandon isn't a psychologist. DJ has one of those. Brandon is a proven commodity and bright offensive mind with 20 years of coaching offense along with almost 4 years of OC experience.

What else can you do? Again, insert Deshaun, Trevor, or even Stetson Bennett or Sam Hartman, and the offense takes off.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Streeter can’t get an OC pass on his QB being


Nov 11, 2022, 3:21 PM [ in reply to What are you basing that on? ]

Incapable. He is the one coach in charge of that. He’s had access to the kid for 3 off-seasons and should have better technique than when he got here. If not, one of the QBs on the roster should have better technique than when they got here. If none do, then he’s failed his positional responsibilities. He’s also been the recruiting coordinator. So there are a lot of avenues to accountability that lead to Streeter.

Grisham is due. If he’s not gone then we’re in trouble. Dabo needs that position to outperform our peer institutions. Its a core tenant of our offense (because its like 30% of our run game too).

I don't think any other first-year coaches get fired even if they are underperforming. Dabo is conscious of what that means for their families and thinks everything n be fixed.

Spiller probably won’t ever be fired. I worry there. I think he will be the hill that Dabo dies on if he doesn’t work out. I love having him on staff, but i think he needs to be surrounded with more experience to become successful. Every position coach can’t be <3 years experience in D1.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I disagree with all of that.


Nov 11, 2022, 3:59 PM

Everything you mentioned is a result of a QB who has now regressed for a 2nd time. DJ has a strong arm and some skills, but his issue is between the ears. A coach can show a player every single important thing about his position, maybe you've noticed but there are literally 100's of 4 and 5 star kids who are just not capable of putting it all together.

DJ had been given every single resource. He's been taught (over and over) every nuance to play the position, and he even has weekly sessions with a psychologist.

What else can you do? DJ wss doing better, but now it appears he's back to being his own worst enemy again. Some things can't be fixed by a coach. Sometimes a player is just what you see.

It's lazy to want to fire (9-1 in spite of s challenging QB) Streeter. Until we fix the root cause, nothing would change. There are no magic schemes or playcalls that can fix a mentally broken player. But like I've been saying, insert Deshaun, Trevor, or even Stetson Bennett or Sam Hartman, and the offense explodes.

So again, Streeter won't be fired. No reason.

Grisham was in charge of most prolific receiving season in program history. It's not his fault the QB can't reliably throw passes.

The RBs are the best performing group on the offense. Why in the world would we need to fire him?

Bottom line is - NOBODY IS GETTING FIRED NOR SHOULD THEY. We can reasonably go 13-1 and win a NY6 bowl to finish in the top 10. Do this despite the elephant in the room, and it becomes really silly to suggest heads should roll.

We need a QB. Gaining elite status again depends on that. Not gutting a good staff.

Funny thing is, there's an outside shot at making the playoffs,

I would guess that Dabo Swinney does more for others in any given day than David Hale does in a year. And I don’t just mean “gives money” because obviously that’s not fair. I mean gives his time and shows caring. Thinks of others and makes sure his players do too.

I don’t know much about Hale but hard not to think comments like that (and I didn’t hear the interview so going just on your summary) are indicative of having an ax to grind.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He's right about Dabo probably not making any staff changes


Nov 11, 2022, 12:58 PM

after the season.

However, the reason isn't because Dabo is a bad person or lacks empathy. In fact, Dabo is a great guy and has a big heart.

The reason Dabo won't make any changes after the season is because he's fiercely loyal and also very stubborn. Those attributes, which have certainly contributed to his success, are also part of why he might not be the fastest to adapt when things aren't going as well.

I went back and transcribed his words from the interview


Nov 11, 2022, 2:02 PM

So that you can judge for yourself

About off season changes:
“If Dabo thinks they’re falling behind I think he thinks they just need to work harder at what they’re doing he’s so sold on his own belief system, and I’m not here to criticize him on that because he’s won more games than I ever could, every move he made this offseason was about thumbing his nose at popular opinion and saying I know better.”

About why people don’t like him:

“This has I think gotten a little worse with Dabo, the more people push back the more he pushes back, I think Dabo does not necessarily do a great job of ever putting himself in someone else’s shoes, and so the criticism he gets he takes very personally; and I think that’s part of it. You look at the DJ situation, and look he played pretty well for the first part of the year, and I think that was surprising to a lot of people and a lot of people had questions and those questions were 1000% Justified; but after he plays 5 or 6 good games Dabo is out there saying y’all idiots who wanted him benched who questioned the quarterback are all so dumb, and then he goes out and benches the quarterback in back to back games. This is sort of the problem that is created when you always wanna act like you know something more than everybody else, a lot if times he probably does, and Dabo’s whole career to some extent is based on him proving people wrong more than any other coach in college football he has probably been doubted over the course of his career. I get it I get where it comes from but it helps to have some friends when things aren’t going your way and Dabo did not do a good job of playing nice when he thought he had the upper hand I’ll put it that way”
