No OJ, stay put and don’t run. We will win a National Championship with DJU!!!
I’m for real, I’m confident in the Coach and player. Let’s keep the family together.

I’ll bet you $1M TODAY that we DON’T win a “Natty” with DJU. I’ll give you 2:1 odds……your answer? This is the STUPIDEST comment I’ve EVER heard on TNet……..

Mopar, your can’t be for real. And DJ wont be at Clemson next year. Idt Dabo is that stupid. I think DJ starts next week. 2nd bad series you’ll see Cade. Then the following week we’ll hear DJ is transferring. The Cade gets to show us what he can do in bowl. Probably Aabama or TN.

Cade won 3 state championships in TX and if Dabo stays out of way he'll win 3 Nattys in Clemson orange and purple. In TX, playoffs are 6 weeks so 12 team playoffs no problem. Now all I want for Christmas is Alabama to miss playoffs and I crack up if they sent Orange vs us.

Let's hope our coaches don't mess Cade up before they give him a chance to play.
TL's freshman year was his best year.

An SOB? a bit harsh there don't you think? Go to bed and cool it but
you will wake up and find that Dabo is the Coach so let's play it out.
We will be OK.

Klubnik is good, but from what I have seen of him he is in no way ready for prime time
Hunter Johnson is though.....

Hunter Johnson should have started game 1. He could have helped mold Cade in prime time. DJ in truth was never ready for prime time ever subprime time

But at least it's a hammer! The current one is a rubber mallet. Seriously, Cabe's got to be better than what we've been using for the last two years. It's the worst I've ever seen!

DJ is the reason we lost the game. Clemson family atmosphere doesn't always work if the players don't succeed on the field. Please learn this, coach

I would invite CDS to evaluate Caleb Williams performance…
Nov 27, 2022, 6:32 PM
|

…against the Irish LAST NIGHT!
THAT is what I call a MOBILE QB.
You have a guy that can move like that AND throw, you will EQUALIZE just about ANY defense in the country.
CDS…you may have a guy like that ON YOUR ROSTER, but you are NOT allowing him to play.

Looks like you are confusing Cade Klubnik with Lamar Jackson when you made that analogy between Caleb Williams and his running / scrambling / passing abilities and that of Cade Klubnik.
It hurts anyone's credibility when suggesting that we have anything close to a Caleb Williams on our roster.

DJU contributed to the loss, but if our WR unit played better (not perfect, but better).
Where we missed on the OL was our mistaken assumption that Mitchell Mayes was ready to be the starter at LG against a team with a (DL) pulse. Mayes is a good player, but he's still a huge drop off from Marcus Tate.
Dabo's reference to DJU getting hit when throwing to the wide open Brinningstool was when the DT beat Mitchell Mayes.
Our game plan on Offense did not take into account that pass protection was destined to be weaker with Marcus Tate out.
That's the coaches fault, not DJU's fault (and in this case, also not the WRs fault).

position on the field is also your worst player then it doesn’t help.
Stop with the BS coach speak and gaslighting, Dabo. You’re better than that. Go take a look in the mirror.

When the bitterness over the loss subsides and you consider the overall season, then you'll realizes that this 'DJU is the worst player on the team' talk is just nonsense.
Among the things that Dabo won't say, but is true, is that our WRs only seldom get separation. S.Carolina has good DBs, which accentuated this problem.
If the WRs can't get open, and if they can't catch contested passes, then it's a hard life trying to complete passes.
Our WR Corp simply isn't good enough for big time college football (Antonio Williams excluded; Adam Randall has potential; the others are either ho-hum or are still largely developmental).

Can't blame the WRs- a high caliber QB would see them for that 1 to 2 seconds that they get separation/open. Hard to tell on TV but I've been to the home games and that is being missed . Not every play but often enough that it has cost us ballgames and points. We still lose the ND game.

Dabo - DJ Uiagalelei - starter: Big Dave conspiracy theory
Nov 27, 2022, 7:02 PM
[ in reply to Re: TNET: Swinney says DJ Uiagalelei is the starter: 'He's not the reason we lost the game' ] |

I guess it's fun for some frustrated fans to suggest that there is some conspiracy that DJU's father has with Dabo.
Do you believe that Dabo, who within the past decade made two in-season changes to replace the starting (older) QB with a younger QB, has suddenly decided to not make such changes with DJU because Dabo is now either (a) stupid, (b) compromised, or (c) too softhearted to tell the starter the bad news?
Sometimes the easier answer is the one we don't want to hear:
Cade, unlike Deshaun Watson and unlike Trevor Lawrence, is not ready yet ... and also isn't the best choice to win games now ... to be our starting QB.
If Cade were as good as D.Watson or T.Lawrence (or as another poster suggested, as good as Caleb Williams), then Dabo would have put him in the starting QB role.
Cade isn't good enough yet to win the job. It is that simple.

Dabo was loyal to Stoudt over Watson for too long, and it cost us a loss to FSU, and the ACC crown. It was so obvious from game-1 when Watson threw that NFL-caliber TD pass UGA. How's Stoudt's NFL career going?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ou_6nweow8
Dabo was loyal to Bryant over Lawrence for too long. It was obvious that TL was superior from game-1. How's Bryant's NFL career working out?
Remember how freshman Deandre Hopkins sat on the bench while senior WRs Terrance Ashe and Xavier Dye started? It was obvious from game-1 (against UNT) that Nuk was the best receiver (and maybe the best ever at Clemson) but Dabo remained loyal to Ashe & Dye until after we lost to Auburn (which led to their natty).
Dabo has shown many times that he is too loyal to his more senior guys over freshmen.

Surprised that he didn't recognize the number of empty possessions (3 and out, or maybe a 1 play first down, followed by a 3 and out) that we had in Q4.
There are not many touches to go around in that circumstance.

You’re right Dabo, YOU are the reason we lost. You hired Streeter, Goodwin, and Grisham. You left DJ in there to flounder against ND and SCU. You never gave Cade a chance to shine. You neglected special teams.

Swinney neglected special teams & did't play Cade - fire him
Nov 27, 2022, 7:26 PM
|

Look, I'm still frustrated over yesterday's debacle.
But when you get over your anger, think about what you've written.
Hiring Streeter and Goodwin for coordinator positions = awful?
Goodwin:
He's evolved from being a defensive analyst into a coach that makes excellent in-game adjustments. Remember early in the season when our D was snookered all game long by screen passes? Goodwin was not able to make in-game adjustments then. Now, he's excellent at this.
Secondary (new guys; no A.Booth and M.Goodrich studs at CB) went from being awful to being pretty good.
LB positions: Moving B.Carter from SLB to WLB and moving T.Simpson back from WLB to SLB was a smart adjustment.
Streeter: He needs work, with yesterday's glaring example being that our OL was fundamentally worse yesterday with Marcus Tate being out (replaced by Mitchell Mayes). Our pass protection was not good enough for DJU to sit in the pocket as he had pretty much all year. Streeter should have realized that pass protection was going to be worse, and then to call pass plays which did not depend upon a 5 second clean pocket.
But Streeter is clearly a smart guy. I am optimistic that he will learn how to make play calling adjustments according to the availability of key players on the entire offensive side of the ball.
Grisham: The WR Corp has been bad, but this is a recruiting / evaluation problem. Remember when we missed on Antoine Green (who went to UNC)? A.Green is a stud, but we didn't get him. We missed on our evaluations of several other (unnamed here) highly regarded WRs on our roster, but that can't all be tagged to Grisham.
Special teams neglected? BT Potter then must be awful in your eyes. Was Aidan Swanson as good as S.Carolina's punter? Uhhh, no ... and neither was anyone in the country yesterday.
C'mon. Stinks that we lost, but the 'fire the coaches' stuff is just ridiculous.

He is not THE reason, but the stats don’t lie. He simply isn’t a good passer, lacks mobility and doesn’t have much field vision.
He tries hard though which apparently is enough for the coaches.
If he’d been 15/29 for even 160 yds that would have been a big help.

No, he doesn't play wr, safety, or return punts, nor does he call plays. All true. So We've had all year to fix the coverage issues. So you tell us coach, who is responsible for receivers dropping balls. Who's responsible for getting our safeties help. These issues cropped up over the last 2 years. Didn't seem to be a problem before. So what's the common factor.

And that makes us all sad Dabo. Maybe it’s his loyalty to him for just the rest of the season. Hopefully Cade will start the bowl and start us in a new direction. DJ is the weakest qb I can remember us having.

Losing is part of the game, but losing because of stupidity is intolerable. I can handle losing to a good team, but giving away a game because of very poor coaching to a mediocre program like SCU is unacceptable.

I feel sorry for the players. The coaches are letting them down. They are the ones out there working their a$$es off at practice to have the coaches let them down. So disappointing for them and us alums and fans. Like I said on another post, I hope we can find a way to overcome our "problems" and win the next two games, but I can't watch it anymore.

But Coach...DJ might not be the reason solely that We Lost (Win, Lose or Draw..We are Tigers) For sure DJ should have carried us to Victory...but he didn't ???

This just totally baffling to just about everyone I have talked to including local coaches. DJ is quite obviously the biggest problem. Does anyone know why Dabo is coddling him so for 2 years now. All the coaches I ever had chewed me out when I did something. Kind of like what happened to Williams yesterday. But not DJ. Everyone hug DJ when he screws up which is quite often. Dabo has taken us to the top, now we are going down.

LOL, Dabo and company needs to look at a bunch of D1 teams that made a change and immediate improvement seemed to have come about for some unknown reason.
I noticed where it was being reported on ESPN the original starter "Cade" McNamara has hit the revolving door, If Dabo aint too careful another "Cade" might just be thinking the same thing, DABO??????? Don't let a good thing get away!!!!

Part of that allowed him to be as successful as he has been at Clemson. Those same traits will also lead to the downfall of this program unless he has a paradigm shift. Maybe the AD and Boosters can help him evolve.

We must’ve sucked at QB recruiting. Super fragile 5-star recruit followed by another even-worse one (don’t even dare to put him on the field even the first one apparently bad.
Give me a break.

I’m not spending hundreds of dollars on ACC Championship tickets to watch DJ stumble around and come up short. I’ve already spent thousands to do that the last two years. It’s clear he is a big part of the issue. Give Cade a legit chance to get some experience going into next season.

I gave my tickets and room to my niece as an early Christmas present today. They’re Clemson fans and hope they enjoy the circus. IF we win the ACC, Bama will show us what QB pressure is.

It pains me so mucha to say it, but…
Nov 27, 2022, 7:28 PM

Dabo just lost a ton of respect in my eyes with this interview. It was once easy for me to be ALL-IN; I was a firm believer all Dabo was doing at Clemson, and was constantly amazed by the way he was always one or two steps ahead of seemingly everything that was thrown at him and against our program. And for many years this went on, with success building on success, until we reached the pinnacle of college football, twice! But I think all the success of our program has finally reached the point of inflating his head so big that Dabo now thinks he can do no wrong. His deliberate unwillingness to acknowledge the blatant and OBVIOUS problems with our team, namely the failed inbred offensive coordinator project, major busts in recruiting (esp. DJU and many WRs who cannot get separation), zero respect for our once-elite-now-abysmal passing game, perennially poor special teams play, and the stubborn refusal to permanently bench a below average (at best) QB now has my morale at an all-time low, even compared with the Tommy Bowden years, simply because the expectations now are so much higher. I’m still All-In, but to say you “didn’t have your best game” against South Carolina is UNACCEPTABLE! Of all games on the schedule, THIS is THE ONE game you should have our players ready to play their BEST game of the season!! There was so much on the line; how could they not play their best game of the season?!

Clemson is less family oriented and culture is failing under Dabo at the moment. He was at the top 2x. Now climb is extremely difficult to make. It may be 20 years before we win a Natty again. Playoff system makes it even more harder to win. We had a great run. Dabo I think is waiting for Saban to retire to go back home. I’ve always thought that so this season only makes me think that is still the case. I love Clemson and proud to be an alumni and donor. Something has changed in Tigertown.

I too get the feeling something has changed around the program; after watching the past 2+ years, I can't help this foreboding feeling that keeps nagging me, which says we fans may be in for several years of disappointment and unmet expectations. We certainly seem to be trending in the wrong direction anyway. But I honestly hope I am completely wrong. And I hope DJU transfers out, and next year Shipley and Cade K light up the scoreboard and restore Clemson to the CFP.

Streeter, Mike Reed, Mickey Conn and Tyler Grisham all need to be seriously evaluated with their current rolls in this program. We are broken fundamentally with poor play calls, routes, lack of Development of our players, turnovers etc. A 4th and 1 play where your only job as defender is to not get burned. That happened. DJ rarely checks down but nearly always stares down his receiver. That happens all the time. DJ will never be a NFL Player because Streeter does a poor job at QB development.

To be honest, Dabo has always made me think of Chauncey Gardner in the movie, Being There. He has had lucky hires when Venables landed in his lap and Chad Morris, etc. Remember when we were about to play WVA and Steele was the DC? Before the game, Dabo was all crazy about how Steele had a great gameplan, but instead, WVA rolled the D for 70 points. Dabo is only as good as his parts. If he loses a good OC or DC, as we are seeing now(not to say Elliot was anything special) we suddenly slide. Tired of all the "gimmicks" like the "Roy Bus", "All in", etc. Tired of him trashing OSU before we played them and then saying things like carolina was in the way. That is the kind of talk that fires up your opponent. I remember when Danny would talk up the Citadel before we played them, not trash talk them. He needs to control his mouth. Swinney's rise came when the ACC was on the downslide, such a FSU, Miami, etc, who had been powerhouses years before. Now we pay him a million a game and if he is fired, he will be paid tens of millions. There is no longer a "carrot" at the end of the stick for him now. Saban, unlike Dabo, can lose OC or DC year after year and still win. If Dabo is smart, he will drop his draw to 5 million a year and split the rest of his salary with a good OC and DC. Otherwise, get ready for some really bad mediocrity. We came SO close to losing a bunch of games this season. If Cade hits the portal and we lose a lot of the D for the early draft, those close games will be losses and we will be lucky if he hit 6-6. By the way, haven't heard Dabo say much of "Only God could do this" lately.

Dabo is wrong. DJ needed to make one or two more plays in the second half (he didn't make many), and the game was secure. In fairness, he didn't fumble the punt return.

This press conference shows that Coach Swinney wants to keep the blame on the field and not focus on the sidelines where the coaching staff is situated. He is stuck in place, and it is easy to understand why. He has gone from nowhere to the top of the coaching heap nationally. He has a formula and a vision. It got him a very long way. What he doesn't seem to fully appreciate, given his straight line ascent, is that programs even as wonderful as ours ebb and flow, and when they ebb (FSU, Miami, University of Southern California), they don't automatically or quickly bounce back. There is much blood on the floor before they reemerge into the sunlight.
The innards and assumptions of our program must be examined with great care, and changes must be made. Are these assistant coaches highly competent or just a comfortable presence? Can any top program succeed in the current atmosphere without using the portal? Is there any advantage to sticking with players who have not shown enough growth on the field? What does that approach say to 4 and 5 stars who hope to come here and start?
I fear the brightness of the Clemson program is more in the rearview mirror than lying before us. The 2023 and beyond recruits know which programs are on the ebb and flow. Clemson is coming back to the ACC pack. We blew through the schedule for a bunch of years, now not so much. We trampled the Gamecocks for years, not anymore. The winds of change are upon us, and this storminess will not pass quickly or easily.
Bad times always are the best yardstick to measure beyond and to go behind coach-speak. Clemson is now firmly in that ROY bus for real. In the coming months we will see what Coach Swinney is really made of.

Nov 28, 2022, 4:33 AM

DJ is mediocre. On Saturday he was crappy. Sometimes he's good. He's not an elite QB who can lead a Top 10 D1 team. Anybody but Dabo can see that. The fans see it. The local and national pundits see it. The CFP committee had it right (except that they had us ranked too high).
Dabo is in denial. Pure hubris.

The only thing I can think of is this is the re-run of Kyle Parker and Willy Korn.
Arm strength means nothing if you have the touch of an elephant and the eyesight of a bat.
There hasn't been a time in my life that I've been turned off of Clemson Football until this season. I went to every ACCCG for us since the 2011 one and attended every bowl and playoff that I was able to. This year I have absolutely no desire to be at either whatsoever.
There is no doubt DJU is a good kid, but his football acumen is almost non existent.

real issue is. The hubris is real. I have no idea of just what it will take for him to see that DJ is NOT "the guy".
I'm out. See ya'll next year.

Dabo is fading as a coach. DJ (and Streeter) are precisely why Clemson lost. Three dropped catches does not mean DJ was sharp and the WRs failed us. It's sad that Dabo has reduced his standards. Winning 10 games is usually great, but not when winning titles use to be the standard. Maybe we were just lucky to have Watson/Lawrence, and Dabo had nothing to do with having the quality of a title winner.

Anybody pick up on Dabo's answer when asked about Cade? Five words. That's it. Not a good sign. He usually goes on and on with some answers. Strange.

I think Dabo was just trying to shut down any discussion of why he didn't play Klubnik, so Dabo was curt-- giving a clear sign to the "reporters" that he'd be unhappy with them if they asked any more questions about playing Klubnik over DJ.

Well, if it's wasn't DJ, then who was wearing #5 and throwing the ball into several zip codes and the ground. I believe the receivers dropped only three passes. DJ was 8 for 29. 3 drops that would be 11 of 29 leaving 18 passes unaccounted for. Most QB's throw about at least 55 or 60 percent. At 55 % he should have completed 10 more passes. That Swinney, would have made a significant winning difference. The top three reason you lost the game was not replacing DJ, and not using a significant diversity of play selection. On the way up, I heard Don Munson mention that Clemson's running game would be the primary scheme, I told my son, Dabo and his stubbornness in conservative play calling, we will lose the game. Thirdly, I don't know why Wes Goodwin waited until this last game to withhold the many blitzes he normally uses. I noticed very early they were throwing the long ball on second down. Goodwin rarely used the blitz and never put any pressure on the QB. He had all the time he wanted to throw the ball.
Not one player, other than DJ, should be called out for not giving "All In". The players didn't lose the game, it was all on the coaches and their ineptitude to make good decisions. Yes, the players made 5 turnovers but even with that, the decisions made by the coaches overshadowed the turnovers. This loss will cause the Clemson Program to go downhill for several years and take several years to recover. This loss will decimate the program for years to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recruiting will be the hardest hit and the earliest to have a major hit.
BTW, klubnik should play the entire game against NC

Totally agree. If DJ was part of the way after huge rib hit he would have pulled himself out. He was worse after that hit. Defensive gave us another chance for winning FG but DJ first pass over throw INT. Defense did stop last chance deep USC territory we run punt back close to midfield and fumble. The All IN players took game coached for 48 point loss and turned into 1 point loss. Clemson needs to use Dutch Fork or Austin Westlake coaching staff

So if DJ is a long way away from why we lost this game, then the short reason is a three letter word called "ego" as in "DJ is our Guy" mentality.

He talks like the play calls come out of aome sort of lottery ping pong ball machine. Gee, we would have liked to run Shipley more but the play calls did not come out for him.
He is correct that D.J. is far from the only reason we lost, but Carolina obviously made him the issue because they knew he could not perform. They stacked the box and sent the message the Clemson would have to beat them in the air.... Which it did not do. So why is that?
I bet NC does the same.

That game reminded me vs Alabama semis their defense stopped KB strength shut him down but second half started did switch QBs. Then his team Alabama switched QBs vs UGA to win Natty.

Man up Dabo you are totally at fault for this season' mess. Especially ND and USC. if I was Clemson AD I would have put in Cade start second half. The only position HC can't coach is QB. Please play DJ entire next 2 games. So he can transfer back to TX hopely TCU. Clemson fan from DFW if he transfer to TCU so I'll be FW every home game. Tiger Nation thanks you for throwing us under bus for 2 season. We were one player away from playoffs this year and last year. Dabo must be Democrats like Biden does everything wrong for US put says alls perfect.

The problem is accountability
Nov 28, 2022, 12:34 PM

DJ is never held accountable by the staff for his play on the field.
It's fine to say that DJ is not the reason we lost the game. The safety, OL, kick returners, and WRs played poorly and it's good they are acknowledged and are being held accountable.
But why is the QB's poor play never acknowledged? That is what is beyond frustrating for me as a fan.
And I'm just a fan. I can't imagine what it's like as a player to hear your head coach point out the the one or two mistakes you made in public, but never point out the QB play. Nothing tears an organization apart like having double standards.

Dabo is trying to protect DJ's fragile psyche. A fragile psyche is about the last personality trait you'd want to have in a QB.

I'll be called a coot by some and that's fine but I'm done with Clemson football until DJ is gone or not the starter. I'll not be wasting my time watching the ACC championship game. DJ is terrible, period. I don't care how many excuses you guys and gals want to throw my way, the proof is in the pudding.
"But, but the receivers drop the ball and don't get separation!". So? Happens to every single team out there. Guess what? dropped passes count towards EVERY QB's completion percentage. I didn't see anyone else with a 29% rate!
"But, but DJ played amazing against Notre Dame that one time, he can do it". So? The sun shines on every dogs you know what every now and then. Tebow won a NFL playoff game too. Doesn't mean he's a NFL quality quarterback.
DJ has had 3 solid games out of 2 full seasons. Sorry that's not good. We can complain about the receivers and the rest of the team but in the end, it's 3 good games out of 2 full seasons. I don't buy the excuse it's the team around DJs fault anyway. There are over 130 teams in division 1. We have more talent then about 121 of those on this team. Yet DJ still does what he does.
Over him and done. Wake me up when he's gone.

Dabo should refund Clemson University his entire salary for this year and tear up
his contract, if he really believes that.

thinks his QB is a charity case It's obvious the players are fed up with the weekly talking point aka "DJ is our QB". Perhaps the players will bail on Dabo this weekend? Dabo is the laughingstock of college football and the state of SC. Any truth to the NCAA snooping around Clemson?
