Then we will have more rushing yards and fix the OLine.
Good idea ??

I'm sure he probably deserves it, but in this day and age kids leave over stuff like that. They don't like being "disrespected" in public.

B U L L C H I T, the problem with kids these days isn't that they don't like authority, it's bc they don't fear the consequences from disrespecting authority. The very moment that law makers took away the parents right to raise obedient respectful kids from fear of being thrown in jail. That is the problem with todays kids, they know they don't have to listen to their parents bc they will call the police on their parents if they get their butts whipped!!!! Spare the rod, and raise disobedient, disrespectful children that will stand in the face of authority, and tell them to go fk themselves!!!!

I concur 100%! When kids had to have "TimeOuts" vs a stern correction
Sep 11, 2021, 11:26 PM
|
|
That is when teachers could not use red ink to correct papers because that was too harsh! When kids could no longer be corrected in school or at home, that's when taxpayer's had to pay for cops in schools because two 15yr olds might get into a scuffle and teachers or principal couldn't break up for fear of being accosted and sued by over protective parents. And kids learned they can cuss a teacher out for telling them to get off their phone with no recourse.
This is pussification of America at its best. And it's only swinging that way 10x faster than it was 3yrs ago. Kids have zero repercussions and don't fear authority therefore they think they are equals in a society when then are tiers of authority.

authority at home... So why did the raising them up in the fear and admonition of the Almighty not nip all this in the bud? I've seen just as many 1, 2 and 3 year old tyrants screaming, kicking, and telling two adults what they will or will not do as I have seen the little tyrants telling 1 adult what they will or will not do, so single parents are not the problem. Good adults raise good children, but there are other adults who lead children astray with promises, shiny objects and undue adulation, so that is still an adult problem creating unruly children.
Children can have a parent problem because they learn at home FIRST how they will behave. A child that learns how to behave properly at home will behave properly in public and that doesn't change much when they get older, unless that problem adult comes along and usurps the child's attention and becomes an unruly influence that usurps the authority at home.
Don't blame the law, blame the incorrigible adults in the lives of these children, some are parents and some are adults of influence, but that is still on adults who do not provide proper love and direction for these children and young people...
Children must first learn how to be, and it's on adults to lead, guide and love them into how to be...

There is discipline and there is abuse... the law has always dealt with abuse but no parent should abuse a child anyway. Discipline your children in the way that best works for that child, it's not quantum physics, it's very simply I'm the adult, you are the child, I am in charge and what I say stands. If a child wants to be in charge, they need to find someplace else to live... mine won't have to be emancipated, i'll take them down to the police station myself before any one of them think they can tell me what to do... so, it ain't the law, it jelly back adults who won't stand up to and for a child's best interest, because they don't yet know what their best interest is...

Disciplining him is one thing, telling the national media he isn't playing because he's acting like a child is something different. If Dabo cared whether he stayed or went he would have been far more diplomatic about why he isn't playing. Just say it's an "internal" issue or "team rules" violation. Throwing him under the bus with more information than was needed to answer the question leads me to believe they would be happy if he left.

He already tried that and it sounds like maybe that didn’t get the desired results. Last week the position was exactly that - he violated team rules and that’s all that was said. Evidently Dabo feels the response from LJ so far hasn’t been appropriate. I was in a position of authority in manufacturing plants for many years. Discipline is intended to change behaviors. If that doesn’t work then more severe discipline occurs. It is up to the person being disciplined to react appropriately if they want to correct the issue.

""throw (somebody) under the bus"—meaning “to betray or sacrifice a person, particularly for the sake of one’s own advancement, or as a means of safeguarding one’s own interests”—
He didn't throw him under the bus. He told the truth as he sees it. We don't know what the truth is and any speculation toward that is just that, speculation.

And those around the program only care about winning and keeping those around the program out of the spotlight, so if Dabo does those two things, win and keep the spotlight on the team on the field, then he would be welcomed there. Winning is the bama culture...

Ummmmm..... Yes. Its called discipline. Its called do your job, doing what is expected of you. If Dabo starts having different expectations for different players, coddling those with more ability, he loses credibility. Then he loses the team. Kind of what is happening in this country today.

Hasn’t been a bit of trouble prior to this season with CJ in charge of the RB’s. Perhaps there are two parties needing to grow up a little.

Because this isn't the first time that LJ has been not exactly happy... this is the first that it is being spoken about by Dabo, but LJ has been a bit outspoken a few time previously. ETN being who he is made LJ's outspokenness a moot point...

New "good ol boy hire" ROOKIE running backs coach butts heads with our best RB. It's not bad enough for the player to be suspended from play. But it sure is enough for them to screw with his playing time.
This is just another issue on an offense that is drowning in issues this season. Y'all keep ignoring if you so wish. Sunshine pump until a dumb ### slip up against inferior competition takes us out of even playing for the ACC Championship (highly unlikely but plausible).

We've never once heard of Lyn J having any issues for 3 years. Can't recall him be sit for a Qtr or half, much less a game.
Now, all of sudden he's immature, needs to grow up. Yet, he's still getting in games but it's with limited carries.

The “annoying” culture he’s built at Clemson has made us the 2nd winningest program this decade; 8 losses in the last 7 years playing 15 game schedules; 6 straight ACC championships. 2 national championships.
Lord I hope you are in your teens so being annoyed with Dabo’s culture doesn’t seem as ignorant as it is.

He only missed the first game of the first 6 last season.
Later in the season he only had 1-2 game where he didn't get a carry (ND and Ohio State). With Etienne, it made sense why his carries were limited in the bigger games

That’s the point, he’s had no disciplinary problems for 3 years and now all of a sudden he needs to grow up. Maybe he expressed an option that wasn’t received well by CJ Spiller. The “needs to be a team player” quote is very telling.

His rushing attempts were way down last year…

Compared to 2019.
And go back and see where he mysteriously disappears from being kick returner (he actually had some good returns).
Whatever the case…there’s something up…there really was no reason for him not to be the starting RB out of the gate as a senior in the post-ETN world…unless he did something to lose that spot.
I hope he figures it out quick. Could really help the team on the field.

You make a good question. Thats why I think it's more to this somewhere. When Lyn J was 2nd behind Etienne.....he got his chances to play and made the most of them in a productive way.
I knew he was itching to be the starting back and he patiently waited for this moment. Now all of a sudden he is acting like a diva or something when it is his time to shine???
Never ever seen any signs of this coming. Like I said ....I fear that there is more to this story.

Just stop and think for a minute about managing 100, mostly immature males, with high testosterone levels at the same time, before you criticize Dabo's management of LJD! If you have no "law and order" you have no organization! This message comes from an 82 year old male, father, coach and former successful executive! You can't be their best friend and succeed!

It's odd that he's rewarded with the start, makes two good

[ in reply to Does anyone find it very odd that ] |

runs, then the punishment starts with no more carries until mop up time. He must have said or done something after that second carry that initiated the punishment. Then he shows up later in the game? Very, very odd. That's some very erratic behavior, and some very strange punishment, it would seem. I trust Dabo 100%, it's just that there is a lot to this story that we don't know, and makes it a real head-scratcher for sure.

Because he wasn’t supposed to go out there to start

Went to Pace and told him that Dabo and Spiller told him that he was starting, this was on the sideline before the game started. Problem was no one told him that. The coaches were quite confused, then upset.

If this is true there will (and IMO should) be more discipline. That is a total lack of respect and the exact opposite of being a team player.

Not sure why anyone wouldn’t want to make it clear that is unacceptable. It might be at UofSC or FSU but not at Clemson - nor should it be.

Maybe this is why chez moved on. Maybe. I know chez wanted an offense like wisky runs but he could have been featured here.
No problem with discipline but not sure I'd have gone that far in public. Could have just said "we're working through some things" and left it at that.
But we have more problems than that.

I’m surprised Dabo has called out his coaches, acted surprised about running game vs Georgia. Dabo has a blank check at Clemson, has hired at will - leave kids and their problems in house like always. Crap Fred Davis almost killed someone and we’ve not heard this kind of noise about him. I like the original Dabo - not sure about this 2021 version. Our team doesn’t look good.

Dabo said the same thing about BT Potter. Clearly he listened and the result speaks for itself. I’ve always admired Dabo because he doesn’t often publicly rebuke a player. Given that tendency, I have to trust the issues must be significant when he does. If people want him to run a program full of chaos, good
luck with that.

If he did that publicly that carry in the 4 quarter yesterday might very well be his last wearing the paw. And I would find it very hard to disagree with that outcome at that point.

You’re a full time troll who invests untold hours in undermining everything about Clemson athletics. It should bother anyone using this site. I spend less than 20% of the time you do here. Every time I login your comments are there and always in the worst interests of Clemson. Beyond hating on Clemson you’ve also dabbled in sexism and racism. I would call someone like you out IRL so no reason not to do it here.

Your personal vendetta against me is based on your own delusions about who I am and what my objective is.
If you want a sunshine pumper who always agrees with everything a Clemson coach or player does, then that's not me. I love Clemson University and Clemson athletics, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
I'm going to voice my thoughts and opinions on Clemson topics here, because this is a place designed for that. If you don't always agree, that's okay.
But to accuse me of somehow undermining Clemson, not to mention calling me a racist and a sexist, is unfair. I'm not racist or sexist.
If you want to discuss Clemson sports with me, that would be great. But please stop the personal attacks. Everyone else here is laughing at you.

Maybe LJD sees the garbage playcalling TE churns out.
Maybe LJD has waited long enough to play and sees the SSDD from this offensive staff.
If he isn’t committing arson and cursing coaches wives, put him in. He’s the only chance we have at a run game this year against decent teams and he’s the best blocking RB by a mile for a pass defense that could use some help.

Maybe the coaches know more about running a team than we do. In my eyes some of the so called fans are the problem. Let the coaches do what they are paid to do. At least we don't lose to Jacksonville St. Quit acting spoiled and remember how it was before Dabo took over. Some of you need a serious reality check.

CJ was a bad hire and Tony Elliott’s tenure has been needlessly prolonged by excessive loyalty.
Dabo went out of his way to say the problem was between CJ and Dixon.

We are filling our staff with a ton of former players. With our budget and resources, I'm not sure this is the best option. Lyn-J , I'm not sure, but he has had no other issues in 4 years. I think CJ promised Shipley a lot and now Lyn-J has said something. Shipley may very well be the future, but personally I think that they are crapping on Lyn-J. I am 47 and have been a Tiger all my life and I do not like the things that I'm seeing around our program. Something is off and it's more than football. This staff has even caused some issues at Daniel high school. Flame away but it is all facts.

Talk to the people who have supported the Luons for years. They cannot wait for the coaches kids to graduate and move on.Nothing against the kids but the pressure to always play them is a lot on everyone. Not saying that those players are not talented but ... Look I dont have a dog in that fight, but I've been around a long time and Daniel doesn't have to wait for college coaches kids to win.

If y’all are really that upset with the staff and the way things are going…the fan portal door is wide open too. I’m sure they would accept you with open arms in Clucklumbia. This All In, ‘84 Grad, Tiger Dad is behind the staff all the way. History will tell who is right but I cant imagine a running back coming out of high school not wanting to play for CJ and he will be turning them into great players and even greater men. Go Tigers!!!! ALL IN HERE!

The facts are that we don't know what has gone on in the locker room or on the field between LJD and his coaches and teammates. I didn't hear anyone bitching about the culture each year we have been in the playoffs or won the Nattys.
Does anyone think Dabo would put up with CJ punishing LJD without good reason? I suspect Dabo's door is open to LJD. We don't know what has been going on, but I am pretty sure the coaches all want to win and put the best players on the field, but not at any cost.

CJ was a complete back?
Sep 12, 2021, 5:14 PM
[ in reply to Re: TNET: Swinney explains why Lyn-J Dixon has had limited carries: "Needs to grow up" ] |
|
I love what CJ did for Clemson, but by the definition of the RB position, James Davis was a far more complete back than CJ ever was. CJ needed space to use his speed, but could not get the tough yards up the middle to save his life. CJ alone made Spence’s bubble screens work perfectly, and teams couldn’t scheme to shut those down because of the threat of Davis actually running up the middle. CJ was a lot of freakishly athletic things, but a prototypical, complete RB wasn’t one of them.

as evidenced by
College Football Hall of Fame induction
Numerous national awards and accolades (All American, Doak Walker finalist)
ACC OPY
ACC Championship Game MVP despite the loss
Earned a 1st round draft grade and pick
More receiving catches, yards and TDs
Soon to be inducted into the Ring of Honor
I see what you want to say, but it doesn't actually hold up against the reality. Loved JD and what he brought to Clemson, but CJ was a weapon as opposed to just a RB...

He needs to grow up and do what is right and he will get his spot back. If not then he will play a few plays. It is up to him and only him.
