Keep whining and you might get more than you can wish for. I would not be surprised if he showed interest in that job, if they could afford it. Might be a big if. My main point is I'd settle down and let the season play out. The Tigers win a couple straight and they are right back to get their confidence back up to make a good run. Go Tigers!

I think a team can also be affected by a negative fan base.

IMO I think Dabo, his coaches and players are playing and coaching so up tight due to some of Clemson’s fans that you make careless mistakes because you are trying for perfection.

I know from personal experiences as I climbed the levels of the sport I played the pressure I put on myself and if the coach added to that pressure my confidence and performance dropped.

All of who have a boss and or supervisor people think about what I just said. I the higher ups came down on you then you may have tendency to come down on those under you.

Just because it’s a job nobody said you could not have fun and enjoy working. When I watched TB in his last couple of years I could see it in him, his coaches and players that it was a chore just to be out there. They knew a loss would bring a negative response from fans.

It even affects 10 year old little girls who play soccer. My daughter was the HC and I helped her. One day just before a game I ask them if they could pick one thing that would make playing soccer more fun, everyone of them without hesitation said “ we would like it if our parents could not come to their games “.

Every game the parents were yelling and screaming at their kid to hustle, get the ball and on and on to where the negative comments from the parents had taken away the enjoyment of the game from 10 year old kids.

Now we have college kids getting paid so they know more is expected of them. Dabo and the players just do not look like they are enjoying the games. So they are not living up to their talent level.

This is what I have noticed since 2020. I credit Dabo and his energetic personality with keeping Clemson in the mix with so much negativity from the fans and now the need for NIL 💰💰.

We can be disappointed we lost but you don’t have lose your mind and continue to beat down the coaches or the players.

Social media is the worst thing to be created. I think people abuse it and use it to cause pain for others.
