to a season, why doesn’t Clemson fire Dabo? This is just for conversation. Not saying I want Dabo fired in anyway shape or form. I want him to prove to everyone that he still has what it takes and will adjust to get it done.

It would be dumb to even consider it. Winning multiple National Championships and winning the league almost every year for the past 10 years, to even consider firing a legendary coach because the team is having a bad year is insane to me. The team hasn't lived up to expectations this year, I get it, I'm disappointed by it, everyone is. Here's a couple of historical examples for you to consider though:

Woody Hayes won NC in '54, '57 and '61, then had a 6-3 season in '62, 5-3-1 in '63, 4-5 in '66 and 6-3 in '67. Goes on to win 2 more NCs in '68 and '70

John Mckay won NC in '62 and '67, had a 6-4-1 season in '70 and '71, then won NCs in '72 and '74

Bear Bryant won NC in '61, '64, '65, had a 6-5 season in '69 and 6-5-1 in '70, then won NCs in '73, '78, '79.

Joe Paterno won NC in '82, had a 6-5 season in '84, then won another NC in '86

All legendary coaches, all of them had bad seasons, none of them got fired for it, all of them went on to win another National Championship.

In addition to that, no capable coach is going to want to come to a place that is willing to fire a head coach that has won 2 nattys and 9 conference championships just because he had a 3-3 start to a season. That is absurd. If that's the stance taken, then we are going to be in buyout #### for a long time and we would deserve every second of it.

Also, before anyone throws up how much money coaches make these days and still wants our coach fired at least prove how much of that money you are personally donating every year. If little or none of that money is actually coming out of your pocket you really shouldn't use that as an argument.

Re: So if PSU can fire Franklin after a bad start

Will publicly eat crow if he does get us back to legit top 10 Status ??? Preseason polls are useless. It helps sports media sources like ESPN aka promoter for the SEC, pay the bills and hire incompetent announcers aka anal-ysts. Who get right less than many on Tigernet.

I will publicly eat my well done crow if he does not.

How many’s years have you been at your job ?? If it’s been 10 years or longer how many of those years would you say your work production declined for a number of possible reasons, many beyond your control. A change in the economic environment, new laws, government policies or regulations etc.., what if everyone started evaluating you job daily and on social media, the radio, TV and more sources. Could you withstand the enormous pressure ????????? ??

Outside factors have affected some success at Clemson. Yet we still made it to the CFP last year. It this preseason hype has been bad for sports. That’s why we play the games. I am “ All In “ with our Current Head Coach Dabo Swinney 🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅 🐅🐅

NIL, the TP and Revenue Sharing have impacted many successful programs. And I don’t feel like Dabo as our HC has let the program decline. I would say 10 or more wins is pretty successful. How about you ?? After 17 years of sustained success Dabo has an off year start to the season yet Clemson could still win 10 games.

During Tommy Bowdens tenure at Clemson all fans wanted was 10 wins and an ACC title. Well Dabo won 10 games or more most every year, 2 NC’s 9 ACC titles. Now some fans are ready to toss away the most successful HC in Clemson History.

Before the late 1970’s Clemson was an average to occasionally above average program. Danny Ford won out First National Championship in 1981. We did not play for another until 2016 ( National Championship) 2017 NC game 2018 ( National Championship) 2018 National Championship game loss to LSU

2016 Alabama Crimson Tide L 45-40
2017 Alabama Crimson Tide W 35-31
2019 Alabama Crimson Tide W 44-16
2020 LSU Tigers L 42-25

Dabo has won 9 ACC titles and lead Clemson to the CFP’s 5 times and to 4 consecutive NC games winning 2 of 4 best Nick Saban twice.

And you hope he resigns soon. We have some very unappreciative fans. Penn State may find out what a mistake they made and will be reminded of it over $50 million times. !!!

A positive fan base and positive post could lead to better recruiting results. You just never, it could that one negative comment that cost Clemson a recruit.

ESPN will ride a coach until fans are brainwashed by their BS and fire a coach because it creates more news for ESecpn and Finebaum something to talk about to cover ESPN , ESPN.+, ESPN ++ etc..,

I guess I was taught positive thinking lead to more success 😁
