Dabo, look into the mirror. You have good players. You have bad coaches. Our 4-5 stars are losing to to 2-3 and no stars

The 5-star #2 QB coming out has not played like that at all.

No reason a game at home with kuse should be competitive. 1's do a few series, then hand it over to the depth guys to get some experience.

Swinney needs to make changes NOW. Personnel changes now. Coaching changes now. He cannot wait til the end of this Hindenburg like season to make changes. We are 2 years behind the sticks. Wake up Coach!!!!

on the QB to execute what’s in front of him. He did not, again.
Vizzina should have seen at seen a series or two or three today. The QB is literally costing us wins.
The defense played bad most of the day, but we missed opportunities on the arm of our 5-star #2 QB. Literally game changing plays and several of them.
He will start next Saturday, but the very first time he makes a head scratching play, he needs to sit. Dabo is coddling but and today was enough. When you’re missing open guys for gamechanging plays, it’s time to sit.
He’s literally a liability right now. It’s cost is 3 losses.

Agree. Dabos loyalty to former players (as coaches) and current players (who are busts) is a BIG problem. He needs to be more critical and drive accountability within coaching and the team.
QB2 deserves a chance at reviving the season. Spiller, Boyd, etc need to go.
Not sure Dabo has the stomach for this. Neff has no balls either. We are a neutered program. That is the main issue.

I feel you Dabo. He and Terrell were both emotional as the seconds ticked away. I felt his pain. No matter what anyone says, he loves Clemson. He'll get it fixed. Maybe not this year, but he'll get us back on top. I believe in all my heart, this season start is a blessing in disguise.

but so are the fans.
And they make a LOT less money than him, and pay a LOT more into the program.
And the last few times when they've been concerned you've mocked them and threatened to leave (knowing Clemson cannot pay the 60 million) like a petulant child.
So spare me the 'I'm only human' routine, when you seemingly have little to no sympathy for fans.
Someone said it on a call in show tonight and it hit me; what last week's rant REALLY revealed was that everyone was a part of the Clemson family BUT the fans. And I don't think they're wrong.

Dabo certainly didn’t seem to feel pain for the fans last Tuesday during his rant. He basically told us to shove it, we’re stuck with him for a long time.

Don't like to see Tigers lose at all but the better team won today (again). We have a team of good ball players but other teams play greater.
This losing shall pass, maybe not this year or next year but it will pass.
I noticed on the opening kickoff to Syracuse (that was a touchback) the Clemson players just jogged through the motions when I see other kickoff teams run with fire all the way through a kickoff when it's a touchback.
I'm not quite sure we have the guys that can get fired up completely for a game even as the Coaches try to fire up team. Can't seem to put a finger on it but they act differently with not the passion you need to have to play the game.
Is there a locker room issue between the players? Is there a locker room issues between players and Coaches? Something is surly off but I hope they can come together and finish off with a bang this year.
GO TIGERS

I honestly don't care about your feelings. You're making $11 million a year to perform. Either perform or quit since your contract makes it almost impossible for the university your supposedly "love" to fire you.

Dabo has caught the ""Frank Beamer Syndrome"" He has been the head coach since mid 2008 and has built a ""Quality Program"" just like Beamer @ Va. Tech -- but he ""fights"" change now, and still runs the same plays, that he won so many games with "'Over & Over"" just like Beamer -- you and I and most Clemson fans, along with opposing coaches, can call the next play**** Beamer lost his edge, calling same plays over & over, then lost his job ??
Cade is not the scrambling , running, quarterback like ( DW4, TL16, and even KB2 ) -- neither was DJ5, but Dabo tried to change/transition them both to run a play book that didn't fit or favor either ?? You could have a 2** or 3*** QB, that is quick / fast scrambling and somewhat accurate passing, instead of Cade, and you can win with ""Dabo's Playbook"" -- just don't think Dabo will let Riley turn loose, or Cade just can't run the playbook. When Chad Morris came to town, he changed it all, and first thing he told Tajh Boyd was - you'll never play quarterback for me**?? ( But He Did** )
Point is -- if we fans ( that don't know football ) can sit in the stands or in front of TV, and know what the team is gona' do on 4th and 1 -- 3rd & 3 -- 1st and goal, from the 1 -- then the other coaches can too !!!!!
Ask Bryan Kelly, why we won the ""Rain Game"" ___ cause he had ran that play so many times before** ( Even Dabo said so after the game***
Instead of slowing the game down for our quarterback ____________ we need a quarterback that can speed up & run the game !!!!!!!!!! GO TIGERS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Another tiger loss to a team with a Portal QB. While we sit here and watch Cade fumble F**** our offense up for the 3rd year in a row. Dabo it’s time to treat this like the business it is. spiller, Grisham and Riley need to pack their bags and move on. We’re a Major D1 school with lots of pride, passion and financial backing and our only RB is a WR. Our senior QB can’t hit an open WR or find one as a matter of fact. This defense looks worse than anything Wes Goodwin put on the field. Either yall can’t evaluate talent or just so bull headed refuse to pull players that aren’t producing. You were quick to yank DJ for Cade… yank Cade for CV. May not look much better but can’t look much worse. All Cade is gonna do is get more people hurt. It’s been 3 years. He can’t play. He’s hot garbage.
Quit running counter plays when your RB1 is a WR4. Just zone or man block.. o-line isn’t good enough, quick enough or tough enough to run counters. Just ask them to block what’s in front of them. They can’t even do that very well. Time for 11 to play back up. Let the young one Amare Adam’s play.
I think we all bought into your philosophy about the portal at first. But when you’ve lost every game this year to a team that’s starting a transfer portal QB and you refuse to play the game it shows maybe you don’t hold the BeST is Standard to heart any more. Defense can’t stop the run. Corners can’t cover. They’re guessing on every play and guessing wrong. Line backers aren’t up to snuff and the line can’t get a push. Clean it up Dabo or clean up your office. We’ll build your statue on the way out. You’ve earned that much. But don’t get up on that podium and preach what you have done. It’s your program and you can run it into the ground if you want but we don’t have to like it.
