DJ throwing Clemson coaching staff under the bus

Unbelievable.
DJ Uiagalelei says in this article he felt like Clemson's coaching staff didn't trust him and they were calling plays "scared." Also felt Clemson's scheme was "very basic" and wasn't developed as he would have liked.

He’s right. Streeter was not good and he got fired.

Going to lead any football teams anywhere
I’m surprised Dabo didn’t cam Grisham as well…
And Streeter might have saved his job had he insisted on Cade playing sooner

He probably would have, but he hadn't had enough time with Cade to screw his mechanics up!!!

Streeter coached two NFL first round draft QB picks, and 2 national championships. So they went backwards under Streeter? Whats wrong with you?

This is a stupid take (Also, 2,000 posts in 3 months, really?). Streeter did not coach Watson. Watson wouldn't let Streeter coach him, and hired a private coach (just like Cade did). Trevor was coached by Streeter, but his fundamentals as a pure passer did degrade. It was so bad that the new Jacksonville coach commented that they had to rebuild his fundamentals. I posted all the articles on here not that long ago. Trevor had to start from scratch in the NFL because of Streeter. But Trevor was talked about as the first pick while he was in high school. And our other QBs became better passers after they got away from Streeter. I would say even Bryant's passing mechanics, while still terrible, got better at Mizzou.

Talking about stupid takes... Amazing that Trevor's mechanics degraded but his stats all improved every year. That's got to be a first. Every college quarterback works with private coaches. The team coaches are only allowed 20 hours per week with the players and only during certain times of the year. College QBs spend more time with their private coaches working on mechanics than they do the college coaches. This hilarious idea that street messed up Trevor's mechanics is hilarious and there is literally nothing back it up.

Private coaches are not allowed at practices or team meetings. They are all over the country helping everyone? No job skills...it's all they can do! Baseball the same way! Texas booted a private coach off campus last year for screwing with Ewers and confusing him! If most of the private coaches knew anything they would still be playing or have a real coaching position...know what is said about opinions!

In the second game, without a month of practice with the starters, he threw for 300 yards against the #6 team in the country. Get a clue.

Over 20 runs and 50 passes in his first start! Not smart against UT. Give Ship the ball? Dumb play calling after we crossed the 50 all night against Tennessee….. That is what cost Streeter his job.
DJ graduated, so we can all move on…… Go Tigers, Beat Dook!

He had very few reps with the firstteam all year...DJ had 2 years and still looked lost...DJ might have great physical talent but the vacuum between his ears is a no go...he needs to consult the California Psychics!

DJ was danged lucky to win as many games as he did...he didnot win any...the D did...his stats were close to the bottom in the nation and he was little better his second year...can't throw with touch..cannot read progressions...makes poor choices in the pocket...has feet as slow as a coffee table...and others...not Grisham or Streeter or Tony could save DJ...that was Dabos choice...can't make a prize pig out of a goat...not even Dabo...we still won lots of games...yes we are spoiled with DJ we were soiled!

His stats were better under Streeter than with Tony Elliot. But I think Tony was good at one time but other teams figured him out and he didn't change.

He actually wrong he just sucked as QB here. Yes play calling was terrible but he couldn’t hit wide open receivers. But also WRs didn’t help cause they dropped easy balls but they also caught bad throws.

Seems to me is stating the obvious. Offense was vanilla for two straight years. Part no trust in him and part offensive scheme was not very good.

Guys who think the issue was scheme and not physical limitations have no earthly idea how football is played in real life.
DJ is not a good QB. Obviously. For someone to say they watched him and didn't see struggles with basic QB fundamentals, they really have no clue what they're talking about.

Thats also where most of his passes ended up. Under thrown. At least he can throw shade because he can't complete a pass to save his life.

Was a DJ fan but F him. Doesn’t matter who the coach is when he’s skipping rocks. He’s no Kelly Bryant, much less Tajh, DW4, or TL16.
Now that he’s away from Clemson I guess he’s going to start acting like his POS dad.

It’s the first chink in his “such a great guy” armor. His argument doesn’t even make sense. They made it too easy so I purposely played like crap? That’s a guy you want in locker room. The offense was dumbed down over time because he clearly couldn’t handle it. The first pass of his last game he threw the ball in the dirt 8 feet in front of his receiver on a screen with no pressure on either of them. It was so egregiously bad I’ll never be 100% convinced it wasn’t deliberate and a plea to please take me out of this game.

He played like ####, so we dumbed things down. We dumbed things down, he got nervous since he knew why, and played even worse. It was a downhill spiral all the way to the ACC game 2 years later. He was significantly improved year-over-year, and still ended in the middle of the pack in just our conference. He was downright #### the first year.
DJ was a Clemson Man, through and through, and I appreciate that he kept his aplomb throughout the time he was here. But performance wins, or loses, the job. So I wish him the best (unless we somehow play him).

duty. We all expected big things as a result. Something happened between then and next season. Personal/family problems, nagging injuries, the pressure of extremely high expectations, etc.. Last year expectations were once again high, and for whatever reason(s), he was inconsistent and failed to live up to expectations again. It's worth noting that the offensive coordinator was fired after that one season, and while Dabo is not infallible, I still have tremendous trust in the guy who literally built the program, won two national championships and has been a regular in the playoff.
DJ's struggles over the last two years are undeniable; he was terrible at times. Still, it's obvious that our problems on offense went beyond DJ, and it's crazy to suggest that that did not affect him and his performance. I think there's a chance the 2020 DJ could reemerge in the right situation, as long as he's healthy and his head is clear. I guess we'll see.

More time with Streeter is what happen to him. Streeter is not a developer of QB talent, and just bc he was a QB, and a decent one, it doesn't mean he knew how to coach up another QB!!!

Overly simple play calling does not explain why so many of DJ's throws were just plain bad. Like WR's having to play 2nd base on a one-hopper screen pass. How many of DJU's screens were thrown in the dirt? And how many more were caught below the WR's knees?

Play calling could have been better but same offense that had the number 1 pick in the draft and probably made play calling easier but some of DJ's throws were really bad. Streeter and Elliot are pretty much the same guy. Hopefully he gets his feet and between the ears right and has a great year.

They had to run “basic schemes” .. the simpleton effect. He would have been more effective as a punter.

I disagree, with his height, he would have been really good at holding up the play signs!!!

Re: West Coast media bias

West Coast media sees DJ as more evidence of West Coast superiority over the South. (Particularly the Christianized South).
California kid, highly rated and successful, goes South and fails to succeed because they run too simple of an offense and don't trust him. So he returns West and has instant credibility, without accomplishing anything, because he says what the interviewer wants to write re his experience down South.
More media with an agenda. It sells. To the writer, DJ is nothing more than a bullet point in the accumulation of anecdotal evidence. To Dabo, he is a young man with whom he still has a relationship.
I choose Dabo every time. And so should DJ.

The West Coast stinks! Agree with your post. We moved away, and it has only gotten worse!

To do more. But he could not hit swing passes. Hard to be more than basic - when the QB can’t do the basics.

were all TRUSTED TO run the offense, DJ like anyone else wanting to blame others, doesn't realize what he's REALLY saying with his statements LOL There's a REASON the O was SIMPLIFIED with him.

Tigernet also spent most of 2021-2022 throwing Clemson's offensive coaches under the bus.
I mean DJ's not wrong. He was part of the problem but he wasn't the only problem. Clearly Dabo recognized the same thing otherwise Streeter would still have a job.

DJ was a JOKE, couldn't throw the ball so why would play calling be scared. Klubnik should have come in NLT game 3 as QB1. Look at the first 5 min of ACC Championship game, case closed.

Yeah, the basic offense was watered down because of him, yet he still couldn’t grasp it. I’m not sure playing in a more complex NFL style offense is going to help him. To be honest, I will be surprised if he even gets that much playing time this season….let alone start

Talk about having no self-awareness!!! This guy is a deluded moron. He doesn’t have the athletic skills or the mind needed to be a winning QB. Trust? Why should anybody trust you DJ? You proved that you couldn’t consistently execute the SIMPLEST of plays… why would anyone consider asking more??? That would be even more disastrous.
He confirmed all the criticism and utter lack of confidence amongst Clemson fans. His two seasons starting here were a total waste… a disaster for Clemson football. Dabo’s biggest blunder.

I hope the best for his life, but he also ran like he was in quicksand. Not much pocket presence. He's the one that played scared. Just my 2 cents.

I mean seriously, how can anyone who watched DJ struggle for two years say the decrease in offensive production? It was the QB, period.

It was, but also it was a HS coaching staff and an untalented group of receivers. But yea DJ was historically pathetic. Just god awful.

You guys crack me up! You guys are so offended because DJ had some bad things to say about the playcalling. The funny thing is that you guys were also complaining on here over the past couple of years. AND to top things off, Dabo fires the old off/coord and brought in Riley! So, is DJ making this up? If DJ is the problem, why get rid of the old off/Coord? Think about it. You guys love to throw hate at people.

If DJ was the problem, Dabo wouldn't have fired Streeter - especially considering that it was Streeter's first year on the job.
Dabo would've stuck with Streeter, knowing that Streeter was limited by DJ's capabilities. But that didn't happen.

I played football for 14 years and was coached by excellent tacticians of the game I still love. I am now Old and slower, but even my wife who endures Saturdays with me, knows where DJ is going with the ball. He's Blessed that he was at Clemson when Dabo literally had No other options. Will confidently bet that if DJ manages to start in Oregon his TD:INT ratio will be at least 2:1 maybe a little worse. Think about Spring 22 and DJ tosses a Pick 6 losing the Spring Game, to a DB who 3 months earlier was in High School? DJ is well thought of, maybe he should be Quiet and let his Play do the talking🤔

I believe that's true. I always thought that about Elliott, Scott, and Streeter. That's on the OC and/or HC.
When they didn't fully trust a QB, they did tend to omit the vertical and middle field passing games. I'd say it appeared to be calling it "scared" to me and only compounded the problem IMO and made us even more predictable and impotent.
Play like you trust it. Play to win instead of not to lose. Let 'em sink or swim. Perform or ride the pine.
Just my 2 cents.

Ok. They didn't trust him . Why should they? Offense was basic. Basic Because he could not handle anything more advanced. He would have liked a more complicated scheme. Coaches would have liked to had a QB capable of running one.

It is unbelievable to me that a player that still has time left in college to kick back manure on the institution they are leaving. Normal protocol is for a student athlete to try to at least put a good face even if there was a less than happy parting of ways.
It doesn't show well for D.J., or his new school.
