What can fans do?

What if anything can we as Clemson fans do to expedite change I. Our baseball and basketball programs? Asking seriously so please offer something real. We as fans deserve an administration that at least pursues our best is the standard motto. Both of these coaches have had significant time to establish winning programs. Changing constantly is bad, but so is excepting mediocre at best!

Think you meant "ACCEPTING" instead of excepting.
Hope that is a correct understanding of your post.

Yep. You got me and you can spell it Sux or Sucks, which either spelling describes Clemson baseball and basketball right now.

You are powerless. Are you so myopic that you think the administrators at Clemson are unaware that the programs and not achieving and that fans are disenchanted? Of course they are aware. But, unlike most of the fans, they have a plethora of agenda to be considered and weighed and, especially in academia, the dismissal of an employee is often quite complicated. Especially if they, or other administrators, wisely, at the time, but unwisely, in hindsight, signed a contract that guaranteed the employee a "golden parachute." Funds that, post-pandemic, may not be as accessible as previously. And, even previously, paying someone to go away, is like putting your money in a furnace and burning it. You might do it under duress, but it sure stinks and it surely limits (or negates) facility improvements, supporting athletes and teams, and perhaps even starting up new sports. Further, people in power make decisions and depart the institution, leaving their replacement to deal with the outcomes, good and bad. It's complicated.

D-Rad was a financial guy. Whoever hired him to be the AD depending on him to be able to hire successful coaches missed the mark and should take a salary decrease. Can you just let Dabo hire all future coaches? He seems to be the only one we have with that skill set.??

My wife redirected our Iptay money to a academic scholarship fund last year. We saw this lack of accountable last season and were uncomfortable with it. It's one donation, but it is the principle of it to us. We gave up our baseball season tickets and have stopped attending both sports until Clemson shows tbat it matters to them. That is where we are as a household right now.

Enjoy what they give u. Poor attendance at the baseball games shows what folks think of the program. Unfortunately, a lot of the folks who do not understand what Clemson baseball used to be are 2015< + fans . Make no mistake,there are plenty of gamecocks on here who will tell u that basketball and baseball are just fine ,
The administration believes, if football money is rolling in, u will accept what they give u in baseball and basketball

Fans cheer for their teams good or bad. Teams win and teams lose and that is life because college sports are not T Ball.

1) Be a fan and support the team
2a) do not post negative crap on a public message board as opposing teams use this to recruit against the team you claim to support
2b) contact the ADs office directly and express your thoughts
3) Support a group funded NIL
4) TD trolls like nctigs and old row

Lol. Go read any high major program fan site forums. They all criticize. Like you expect Clemson to be different? They call them fan forums for a reason...
How come ACC coaches rated Clemson 10th in basketball when you have them dead last?

yes, nctig. I DO expect Clemson (true) fans to be different. have you ever read "there's something in these hills"? Being different, rising above the crowd, is what being a "clemson gentleman" is all about. It's like Dabo said when he was hired (and I'm paraphrasing here)... it's not what programs do we want to be like. We want other programs to look at Clemson and say can we be like them.
And by the way, a lot of us are still waiting on your answer to repeated questions about your relationship with Clemson. all we know is that you claim to be "a big fan who watches a lot of basketball on TV."

Honest question, do you think any coach in history has ever said, “don’t go to Clemson, have you read what’s being posted on tigernet”.?
Support a group funded nil? I’d support a supposed homeless person at the corner of wal-mart before I’d support a nil. My jobs to get my kid through Clemson debt free , not to give deandre money for 24 inch wheels for his nil funded Escalade

Other coaches absolutely reference and share fans reactions to coaches in building the narrative saying why go to Clemson when they are about to fire the coach.
The OP asked what can fans do to improve the program. I don’t care what you do as you quit whining when you have done nothing to help
