Re: Will Dabo Change?

I think the best possible outcome from this disaster of a season would be Dabo reconstructing the coaching staff and going all in on paying top dollar for transfers and high-level recruits. We need to be taking around 20 guys a year to rebuild this current roster — new blood that hasn’t been messed up due to the current staff and attitude regarding college football in the modern era. I have serious doubts about Dabo doing that at all — I think he’d rather us go 8-4 every year than get serious about winning if it means doing things he doesn’t want to — and think if he’s not going to he needs to leave and let someone else play in the modern era. What do yall think is more likely? Dabo giving in on all of the stances and statements he’s made to get this team back on track, or continuing to be stubborn for the sake of “morals” and wanting to stick to the “old way” of college football? It’s not the same sport as it was pre 2020 whether you like it or not

Clemson isn’t bringing in many because they don’t lose anyone. That’s the simple fact of the matter.

And NIL, again, we pay our guys just fine. What we don’t do is spend it on guys following solely that paycheck.

As far as coaches, I hate to put it out there but I think Eason and Rumph need to amp things up immediately. They may or may not be practicing them hard, but they sure don’t seem to be playing with needed want-to and physicality up front. And just not generating enough pressure with the front. We know they can do it because we’ve seen it. I thought we’d see balls to the wall in their money year, but we just don’t seem to there as of now. Maybe the coaching has fallen of deaf ears, I don’t know. But it’s something to keep on eye on.

I don’t know of any others.

Riley needs his QB to play right before we can really talk about him. Heck we were 11th in offense just last year, so we know the system can work.

Grisham is fine except he needs to get them guys blocking better. I’m getting tired of seeing passes to the flat getting blown up because the WR missed a block. The dropsies should tighten up some.

Spiller is doing really well, albeit we’ve missed on some. We did just sign the #5 RB in the country, so there’s that. Really when you step back and look at it, the RB group has been the strongest part of the offense since 2021, save last year when Cade showed out and Mafah was banged up.

A change I am interested in is the pending retirement of Batson. I do think some new blood here could be a good thing.

Those are the common ones, although I’m sure there are guys on here who want to just fire all sorts of people up to and including Dabo.

So what else do we want to change?
