Ya know, I'm kinda tired of that too. Just because Dabo is qualified doesn't mean every single decision he's ever made is perfect. Our defense is not as good as it has been in years past, and that's specifically because Wes isn't as aggressive. Dabo is like the second highest paid head coach and we are making excuses for him taking 4 and 5 star talent and needing 2 OTs to beat Wake Forest with 3 and 4 star talent. I'm a Dabo fan, but this idea that he's untouchable and zero criticism is ever warranted is insane. Go watch Tennessee and tell me you don't miss Clemsons old offense. Super fast paced, attacking all over the field, WRs making plays, it's explosive. When Beau is your best WR, as good as he is, you aren't what you used to be. Beau wouldn't have started on a lot of our Clemson offenses in the past, and he's the best we have. Offensive line, despite better recruiting, also is sucking. Sure, they looked a little better each week. We aren't playing anyone. Imagine playing an actually good defensive front. If you wanna say well you shouldn't expect to manhandle Bama or Georgia on the line, yes, yes I do. That's the expectation. Celebrating beating Wake forest in 2 OTs when literally every single play a DB got beat, I will not do. I can't stand Saban but Saban wouldn't have called this win character building and really proud of our guys.....sure you won and that's great. We've got MAJOR issues. They won't be fixed overnight either.

I agree with you on Dabo, he's never above criticism, the man isn't perfect. Having said that, he knows what he's doing way more than any of us do.

With Goodwin, he's learning and will get it figured out. Sometimes players make plays, sometimes they don't. At times, it's that simple.

UTs offense is less about personnel and more about mentality and scheme. Their entire team is geared around that offense, their defense is not very good and doubt it ever will be under Heupel... Just my opinion.

Beaux Collins isn't chopped liver

Lastly, our fanbase and myself included have become incredibly entitled and spoiled as a result of our run for the past decade plus. What did us in more was the downfall of the ACC recently coupled with our elite teams with TL... Every game was a dang joke in this conference.

At the end of the day, we are just fans and should be able to enjoy what we get to watch week in and week out. We are 4-0, ranked top 5 in the country with a prime time matchup this week's and college gameday in town.

What else could you ask for as a college football fan?
