That became Clemson fans in 2015, or you delusional old timers that never played and think our “brand” supersedes everything…. Watch what happens if we fire Dabo. I can’t wait for y’all to experience Tommy west like years. I will hate it and want no part of that, but you fools will not know what hit you. If you need a reference point, we will become Auburn aka irrelevant and be under .500 most years.

Re: Lol some of you 20 and 30 somethings


Aug 31, 2024, 9:06 PM

Under Coach Swinney, we’ve only had one season below .500. That was in 2010 when the team finished 6-7 after losing to South Florida in Charlotte. However, the next season, things started to look up with Boyd taking over at QB, and the rest is history. Right now, many of us just want to see a spark that gives us confidence we’re heading in the right direction again.

And some of us don’t want just a “spark” Dabo is one the highest paid coaches in any sport in all of the United States. If he can’t get us back to a competitive team at the highest level, they’re plenty of great coaches who would love to make $11 million a year and have the resources available at Clemson. Getting blown out in openers year after year is unacceptable. This notion that Dabo is irreplaceable does not make any sense

Re: Lol some of you 20 and 30 somethings


Sep 12, 2024, 2:33 PM

The pay is not an argument. Even if you contribute to IPTAY, they don't pay his salary so get over the salary winning. Maybe the overall ~$20 million for Dabo and the other coaches is paid by TV revenue from ESecPN and the ACC. Dabo does get about $345,000 of his salary from the state while the state pays the Chicken Coaches, Beamer and Staley over $1 million each. Only one Clemson employee made the top 10 highest paid state employees and it wasn't Dabo, Neff or Clemens but there were 6 UofSC coaches and their AD.

I respectfully disagree. Since the addition of a garbage game for every team, winning eight or nine games is nothing special. Unless you win 10 or more games, you are just middle of the Pack team. Clemson football is not a “middle of the pack program.” We are top 25 all-time for the AP era of football. Being satisfied with nine wins is just a loser mentality, because two wins are usually gimmies and we have South Carolina who we’ve always dominated. I’m not insinuating that Clemson must win 10 every season, but I would say Clemson football should have the expectation to have 10 wins seasons most of the time.

If that's the player we're going for, I don't think we'll get another championship. And if that's the case, we don't need an $11 million dollar coach.

So how long exactly are we supposed to silf eliminate ourselves from contention while hoping for regulations? If that's 5 years from now who's to say Dabo will stay around long enough to coach past their implementation. Handicapping yourself now, with the hope of being proven right just to say "I told you so" reeks of arrogance. College football is borderline unwatchable right, and I agree it's untenable in the long term. Why stick with a methodology that is proven to not work though? Why not play by the same rules as everyone as and be competitive? Why choose the path of failure hoping to be proven right? Can't he adapt now, then say I told you so later?

Dabo built the success to then build the resources..

He built his vision..

Does his vision need to be adjusted and improved, yes.

But I see this as coaching and development problem.

I question the hire of some coaches who are learning on the job: Spiller, Grisham, maybe some of High School guys,

Goodwin seems to be pretty good. No Brent V but there is only one Brent V..I think Defense coaches are solid.

The offense side is the issue. And Dabo brought in Coach Matt. He brought in a talented OC.

But our WRs need better coaching and developing. The QB position needs something immediate and needs better recruits or transfers next year.

The OC must step back and create a game plan based on what we have and build on its strengths or weaknesses. Time to bring it all out. If we have to gimmick our way to wins, so be it.

We will see what happens.

I don’t think anyone should or are discrediting Dabo and his many achievements. This also isn’t some new thing the fans are in an uproar about. This has been getting worse every year for the last 4 years. Some pointed it out then and were crucified for it. They saw it early. 4 years later and they were right. Who can disagree after yesterday that we don’t belong at the top?

As someone else said, our program is a 9-10 win expectation in a very bad ACC. Possibly an ACC championship here and there. That’s our current ceiling. Sticking to our “morals” as subjective as they are are more important than adaptions to the many changes taking place in NCAA Football and we may as well say that part out loud.

Clemson’s new goal is to play decent football and play the players we made promises to. End of story now deal with it

Here’s your rebuttal. If Danny was fired in 1980 how did he win a national championship in the 1981 season? You are the one that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. When Danny was fired it was because of a major disagreement with University Administration over facilities for athletes. Dabo has the full support of the University Administration.

Were you in the room for the negotiations on Dabo’s contract? If he was paid with the expectation to continue to be elite, why would he get bonuses for championships instead of getting deductions for not winning championships? Those aren’t in any coach’s contracts. He’s being paid for his talent, just like players getting NIL pay. Is anyone asking for that back if they don’t play well?

I’m in my forties, a Clemson graduate, married to a Clemson grad, and my daughter is a Clemson grad. I’m an IPTAY member, and go to as many football, basketball, and baseball games as I can afford. My uncle was in the last military class at Clemson College. I remember the day Coach Ford was fired, the Hatfield years, the West years, and the Bowden years. We’ve been blessed to have gone to the top with Dabo two times. But now what? You say that we will become irrelevant. We already are. Clemson is now being laughed at throughout college football. Because Dabo is doing things “his way”. This program has been going backwards for almost 4 seasons.
I don’t want him fired but this is all on him. His refusal to adapt like other top programs has cost us. We are now years behind other schools like Bama, UGA, Ohio St., Michigan, etc. Clemson didn’t capitalize on its position when it should have. I was here at Clemson long before Dabo could find it on the map, and good Lord willing, I will be here after he’s made his millions and retired to Florida to play golf.

I agree. The issue is bigger than the head coach. It’s the era that we are in. Clemson is not built for it. Our salary cap is much less than the elite teams. Hard to get free agents to sign when you can’t provide the best offer.

It’s similar to baseball teams building through the draft and farm system. That’s what the lower market teams have to do to have a chance and that’s what we have to do in recruiting.

Also we can’t throw around big checks at positions such as oline that is one of the hardest areas to project a recruit ala David Sanders.

The difference was we paid Tommy West $150,000 a year. We pay Dabo $11 million. If we are willing to pay that money on a coach, we can get a top 5 coach in the country. You don't want to be sub-.500 and are content with 8-4 mediocre seasons. That's fine if that's what you're happy with, but we shouldn't be paying top-flight salaries for mediocre results.

I wasn’t around or old enough to see or understand Coach Howard’s decline but that is probably the closest parallel to what we are seeing now. The Ford era was ended for reasons other than wins and losses so you can’t compare that situation.

After seeing what happened to programs like Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and Nebraska after losing legendary coaches, any change at the top is likely to make for some tough years.

Until we get the conference situation worked out, any change to the HC position might be a major roll of the dice. I don’t see us pulling a coach from a high level program in the SEC or BIG until that is worked out.

Dabo is the Goat at Clemson. Hope he can get this headed in the right direction.
