Did it ever occur to you that the 1.5& may be what led to the changes being made?

Why bother fussing with all the idiots? Seems counterproductive and beneath you.

Many of them are former Clemson players and grads, with families to take care of. They will discuss their future with Dabo and respectfully part ways like men. But do go on, I’m sure the greatest coach in the school’s history would appreciate your assistance

it's funny how eventually Dabo seems to come around to the 1.5er POV........

-Fired streeter who should've never been promoted at Clemson
-parted ways with Austin although the "1.5ers" been calling for him to go for a while
-Dabo seemingly headed down the portal route for meaningful players this year (time will tell)......even though the 1.5ers been callin' for it the last few years.

1) Dabo is doing exactly what Dabo has done since his first day on the job. Replace coaches he felt needed replacing. Spence, Napier, Steele, Streeter, etc... This is nothing new.
2) Dabo is not using the portal any differently now than he has in the past. We have confirmed he has offered players in past years, we have confirmed he has signed some and confirmed he has missed on some. This year we have confirmed he has offered one and signed none so far.
3) I don't think you know what a 1.5%er is. 1.5% of fans aren't disagreeing with portal or staff hiring/firing. 98.5% of Clemson fans are "amazing", meaning 1.5% aren't "amazing".
It's interesting that you are attempting use Dabo firing someone (something he's done multiple times since his first day on the job dating back to 2008), and Dabo offering a portal player (something he's done multiple times since the advent of the portal) as proof that you, are other 1.5%ers (a moniker you have misused) are right. Please stop making things up.

so it's ok to want Dabo to use the portal for than a clipboard QB?

b/c i'm pretty sure the implication was the only ones that wanted that were in the 1.5% group.
I've wondered what the definition of a 1.5%er is, thanks for helping to clear that up.

"98.5 percent (of the fans) are amazing. But the other 1.5 percent, they create a lot of the problems. They're part of the problem, not part of the solution. But that's everywhere." - Dabo
He was pretty clear.

It is amazing that 80-90% of the 1.5%er's truly think that they're smarter

than Dabo Swinney, could do a better job than him, and would have more Natties than just 2 by now if only, by the justice of God himself, someone would put them in charge.
I believe they call it delusions of grandeur. But that seems such a small phrase for these megalomaniacs.

1. yeah after hiring coaches that shouldn't have been hired in the first place.......better late than never, but his recent Offensive hires are part of the reason we've seen a drop....Streeter, Austin, and some of the other inexperience.
2. This remains to be seen. That's why I've said "gotta land em" not just offer, but most of the Clemson media/article outlets seem to be confident he'll use the portal to get impactful players and not just clipboard holders.
3. I've asked many times for a definition of 1.5%er and 98.5er........I get a different answer everytime I ask from multiple different people...........by this definition I'd be a 98.5er, but that also depends on your definition of "AMAZING". Regardless, I didn't invent this fan "label" Dabo did, so it doesn't matter to me which one I'm in.......I just want what's best for the Clemson football program......that to me is "amazing"

You do understand that Dabo is in the arena

and you are in the stands, correct?
By the way, Dabo was very specific when he made the 98.5% comment, I’m sorry you have yet to find someone who can help you understand it. I’d keep asking around though.

The 1.5% want. Portal offer, couple friend coaches gone, some players not living up to potential gone. Not completely there yet but enough for me to sit back down.
