Dabo is loosing the fan base and culture of the program with the mediocrity of our offensive staff. Top to bottom. Streeter needs to go. We have serious issues and they are all on display for the world to see.

Streeter and Grisham both need to be gone.
Spiller is close, considering he still hasn’t signed a RB recruit yet. Fortunately, he’s coaching one of our best position groups.
Richardson and Austin have been fine. I thought our TEs and OL were good this year.
But…what we need right now is to make a change at QB for the ACCCG and bowl game. DJ’s time as a Clemson player needs to he over. It’s been 2 years. He’s just awful. And I’ve been one of his biggest defenders on this board.

I still can’t believe Dabo promoted Streeter after having the worst offense in the ACC. And, of unfortunately, I fear that Streeter is here to stay.

Dabo rarely fires anyone.
The few times he has, it was because he was fighting to save his job.
He doesn’t seem to have the enthusiasm he used to, plus he has incredible job security, so I will be shocked if he fires anyone this off-season.

The transfer portal allowed everyone to gain so much ground on us. Especially since Dabo refuses to use it.

We were absolutely torched today by a James Madison WR. There are good players to be found in the portal. Dabo and Co. need to get with the program!!!

That LSU game was a great example of our lack of coaching prowess.

Schemes that worked on less talented teams didn’t work on LSU.
Now that we don’t have generational talent at key positions anymore, our coaching is being exposed even more.
How else can you explain us struggling to best teams with far less talent than we have?

The last drive to win was great- but that was a poorly called game. TL saved us with his feet.

2019 & 2020 were good years that all of us should be proud of. LSU that year was amazing, I don’t consider that regression. However, we have talent regression from portal losses (no gains), worse recruiting, worse evaluation, worse development and bad coaching. The regression will continue until significant changes are made, and those won’t impact immediately. On top of that we are negatively impacted by NIL and ACC money, so we don’t have much margin for error. Next couple years are not going to be great.

I’m honestly worried about how bad we’ll be next year. Our defensive line is about to lose so much talent. I seriously have no idea who our DEs are going to be.

And we have the athletes but have missed on quite a few key positions. But imo we haven't developed and utilized what we do have. Seriously, how does scar go out and get receivers that actually attack the ball. Mind boggling.

Just wait until you see how bad our WRs will be next year. The starting three should be good: Beaux, Antonio, and Randall
But then the depth…
Brannon Spector, Troy Stellato (maybe), Will Taylor, Cole Turner, Ronan Hanafin, Noble Johnson, Tyler Brown…
That’s just awful

The turning point was in 2019 when Terry Bowden was allowed to be around our championship program for 2019 and 2020. I said then he will take us down from within. I don’t care how little he was involved as a GA, the fact is he was in our building. I saw firsthand his stint at AU and the utter disarray he left the program in.

I don't know. This game was close. 1 fumble way. 1 int. Think about it for second. How many 1st down did Clemson need to get the win? Maybe two more
How many sacks. Maybe 1 more.
You really want to throw the baby out with the bath water?
As for the blue blood programs. It's $ we can't keep up. It will bleed away. Like a slow drip. I think the big 10 signed a 6 billion $ deal. Sec $ will be bigger.
The acc blew it years ago.

Don’t forget about Nick Eason. Our “elite” D line is less than elite.

Unfortunately, most people here are in the Clemson Football Cult. They think Dabo can do no wrong and will just talk about our success in the past (a past that’s getting more and more distant).
They have convinced themselves that our decline is due to a combination of the following:
-Injuries -NIL -Transfer portal -Anti-Clemson conspiracy by ESPN/analysts/ACC
They might never be able to see that our decline is directly due to decisions Dabo has made.
