Unless this team can turn it around and go 8-0 from this point, rest assured there will be coaching changes made as soon as our season is over, and they know that!!! Coaches where their position players aren't doing well, they are probably already sending out feelers looking for jobs in 2026...

I agree the end of the year is better to fire someone, but if a coach now he’s gone at the end of the year, what motivation will they have to come up with good game plans?

Chucktown, if a coach, thinking he’s gone at end of this season let’s the ship go ahead and sink, it won’t bode well on his resume. Future employers look at how these guys perform.

Even if he’s known this all along privately, the defensive crap he was spewing a couple of weeks ago publicly certainly didn’t lend any credence to that.

that leads me to believe he fully grasps what ALL the issues are..........coaching failure in-game and preparation is ONE of the issues, but not all............I'm more concerned if he grasps the macro problems, not the micro.

Has the mantra Best Man Plays become a slogan instead of a philosophy?
2
Sep 30, 2025, 9:23 PM
[ in reply to I didn't see anything in the article........... ] |

When the coaches evaluate the players (watch the film), are they doing so with a (I am only presuming this) ‘loyalty to a player who is a great guy’ instead of in a coldly analytical way?
A person must consider their own biases and work very hard to neutralize them if they are to have a hope to correct unproductive behavior / activities.
Does ‘the best man plays’ mean anything … or mean enough?

It is a coaching failure. The coaches do not have these players mentally up to the challenge. Yes it obviously requires the talent. The other side to that equation is mentally up to the challenge and the will to win. Defeat and playing poor is not an option. This team so far does not show that. They've gotten a break this past week with Florida State losing to Virginia. Things can still happen to affect the ACC outcome. Clemson from hereon out has to win.

Ok, 99.9% coaching lol. Dabo is as good as the coaches around him. If it's not coaching then that's like saying this team would be exactly where it is now if we still had Scott, Venables and the position coaches from that tenure.

🎯 Coaching Failure...But NOT The Real Problem🤔 These Current 3rd &4th&5th Year
Players Have Digressed Plain and Simple...
And Refusing To Park These Non Performing "Elite" Future 1st Rounders...😤😤😤
Ask The Coach of The 2024 And Likely 2025 National Champs Coach Ryan Day What He Would Do About Non Performing Players🤔🤔
What IF This So Called "Absolute Coaching Failure" To Start IS NOT COACHING....
But 3 Year Players INABILITY TO EXECUTE WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT🤔🤔🤔
Who's Evaluating The Talent??? Not Many Starters On This Tiger Roster Would NOT Still Be Starting For Anybody Left On Schedule🌞
Including Furman😤😤😤😤😤

If players aren't developing then that is on the coaches. With all these high rated players on this team, there is no way that it's all the players. It's the coaches job to develop and get the max potential out of those players. Everyone we get go backwards after the coaching gets involved. They all look good FR/Soph years, then they start digressing. It's literally everyone. Blake Miller a SR RT even had 3 false starts in a game the other week.

Right before I retired was telling the younger guys how business is done and has been done for the last 40+ years by meeting customers face to face, phone calling and also migrated in some new thoughts and ideas but was told that's not how they do things in the world today. They use email, text, instagram and so forth ignoring to hold onto some of the old tried and true.
Within a couple a couple of years the company is no more and they were out of a job.
Bottom line is there is a fine line between old and new and you have to know how to navigate to keep things going without ending some things that have always worked along with embracing some new.
I believe this will happen and Clemson will be back on top of the mountain again.

You finally own up to the fact that your coaches are not getting the job done and the players are not performing up to "Best is the Standard", but you don't think that changes need to be made??!!
This train of thinking just might be out of a cloud of smoke from the early '70s!

I don't think Dabo has ever made coaching changes mid-season...

you don't fire someone in the middle of the season unless they commit a crime. you'd kill cohesiveness, recruiting, performance - even if the replacement ran the same playbook. He plainly said execution and coaching had to be improved.

Rob Spence committed a crime?
I guess you could argue his offense was criminally bad 🤔

to say throw away the turnovers and we're 3-1? Most of it is taking responsibility for what has happened and pointing out what has not been done right and that's what you cherrypicked? I mean, early in the conference when he started taking his share of the blame, he led off with "Nobody wants to hear a couple of plays here, a couple of plays there..."

They are two peas in a pod that have wasted some incredible talent and are falling behind the game because of poor coaching and hires. He won’t fix jack shat.

Now bench some players and find the ones that want to give their all on the field.

How many other coaches would be this brutaly honest? Not many. I am confident that Dabo will fix it.

Absolutely, and Tyler Grisham has to go! Our wide receivers hasn’t known how to get separation and get open since Jeff Scott left.

We have WR's open on most plays. They aren't getting the ball though. And yes there have been some untimely drops. But if the QB is not seeing the open receivers then it doesn't matter how much separation they have.

Dabo’s repeated reference to the monetary compensation factor with the players makes me wonder about something that was unsaid:
Are Clemson’s coaches (let’s assume that this is subconscious) letting NIL payouts to specific players influence their decision to play those ‘big NIL’ guys more than their performances would justify?
instead of ‘the best man plays’ perhaps there is a subconscious sentiment that ‘the best paid man plays.’
The politics of NIL payouts has got to be enormous. Big booster pays $2,000,000 to get (originally hoped to be big stud) player to commit to Clemson; the booster has a car dealership. Said well paid NIL player gets benched because he’s not the ‘best man’ to play. Car sales are not helped by dealer’s ’his player’ having zero marketing value.
Something to think about.

Good to see him finally admit this and quit talking about success 10 years ago! Let's see what they did over the past 2 weeks. IF they don't destroy a HORRIBLE UNC team then we know it did not improve. This is the time when coaches show they are earning their pay - OR NOT.....Let's roll this week Tigers and start a new winning streak!
