...were a mirror of the last 3 years.
Elliot is gone.
Scott is gone.
Streeter is gone.
Dabo is left.

It's long been a thought around the water cooler (read as Tigernet).
It seems to stem from the fact that Dabo was never a coordinator, and so is trying to 'prove he can do it'. It's helped by the fact that our offense has largely looked the same through 4 different offensive coordinators (Morris, Elliot/Scott, Streeter and now Riley).
You would think that would go away after two championships but maybe not.
However, it also contradicts the other assumption that Dabo is fat and happy. If he was sitting back on his laurels you would think he would bring Riley in and say 'run the offense' and leave him alone.
So who knows?
Something ain't right, though.

Clemson Fans can immediately detect that the garbage product put on the field last night WAS NOT Garrett Riley's offense.

asked Dabo in pre-game if we would see Garrett Riley's new Offense or a combo and Dabo responded that Riley was brought in to run "Clemson's Offense"

Which is specifically what we (as fans at least) were hoping to get AWAY from... talk about not reading the room!

It's nothing but ego at this point

It's obvious that Dabo is at a point that he refuses to let go of any component of what was built between 2011 and 2019 no matter how old or stale it has become and is out to prove a point that he can still drive the bus without a make over. He's trying to pull a Saban by hiring coordinators to run the "Clemson Offense" when it's obvious to everyone in the world that the "Clemson Offense" needs to be thrown directly in the garbage bin.

....probably deserves a thread of its own.
I heard it last night and asked myself, "Did he really just say that?"
Very troubling to me. It was at the time, and even moreso now.

Exactly!! When I heard that I thought “uh oh” he is defensive about Garrett Riley coming in and being the savior. He hired him, he wants to be better but he can’t really get past his ego.

It’s called a common denominator.

I assume it’s just a deduction of reasoning. He’s the common denominator from last years offense to this years. That coupled with the comment from David Hood last night of the text he received from a former player.
My assumption would be that if a former player is making the comment, he has first hand knowledge that it’s something Dabo has done in the past.

I think it is an assumption on fans part. Dabo is also always speaking when we have the ball while looking at his play sheet giving the appearance at least that he has a heavy hand in the offensive play calling. I don't think we really know for sure how much influence he has.

You could clearly see Dabo with the play sheet in his hands and calling the plays. It appears out new OC has his hands tied by Dabo.

Did you not watch the game or something? The Offense literally looked the same as last year minus the 2 RB Set, Streeter was Dabo's Scapegoat, Dabo needs to hand the offense off to Riley or we're doomed.

The offense out up 420-ish yards and 29 1st downs

what was wrong was not the play-calling or Garrett Riley's control of the Offense.
When guys drop passes right in their hands, and fumble the ball incessantly, that's not the "Offense". That's the Execution.
Stop being OBTUSE.

Because the "air raid" was for some reason nearly identical to the offense we have had for several years.
