Remember how excited I was about Elliott leaving?


Jan 3, 2022, 2:12 PM

So I’m like, the total opposite about Todd Bates leaving. This suuuuuucks.

When I wanted staff changes, these were not what I had in

I think Dabo might need to humble himself some.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It would take some world class convincing to make me think


Jan 3, 2022, 2:26 PM

A) Dabo expected/wanted this

And

B) this didn’t largely come from Bates feeling overlooked

I guess you can’t make everyone happy but I hope Dabo picked the right guy to keep. We will miss Bates’ recruiting skillz as much as his position coaching.

Maybe we will upgrade, but Brad wanted him. That says something.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don’t know Brad, but he sounds smart.


Jan 3, 2022, 2:31 PM

He will never show it if he is, but I wonder if Dabo has some butthurt with Brent over this. Feels a little poach-y.

Yep

No wonder Venables was lubing us all up with his

"thank you, Clemson" letter around Christmas time. He knew he was getting ready to go in dry on us by taking Bates...LOL

Yup, Bates was the odd man out when we hired


Jan 3, 2022, 2:32 PM [ in reply to It would take some world class convincing to make me think ]

a few D coordinators. Oddly, BV announced Ted Roof as DC and I guess is walking that back to co-DC with the addition of Bates?

Anyhoo, makes ya wonder what Ricky Sapp is up to today. Maybe he could bring some of that yung joc swagger back to the DL.

Yeah. If you get passed over for a GA with no on-field experience and your boss's college buddy then I wouldn't blame anyone for bolting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Definitely B as Bates got a raise


Jan 3, 2022, 5:02 PM [ in reply to It would take some world class convincing to make me think ]

and I think some pseudo title promotion that wasn't co-DC that Dabo likely was hoping would ease the pain for Bates getting passed over by Goodwin/Conn

Feels like another misread by Dabo, really hoping I'm wrong though and he turns this offseason around

Coach Swinney?


Jan 3, 2022, 2:23 PM

Ben Bulware on line 2

Tell Ben I’ll have to call him back later.


Jan 3, 2022, 2:27 PM

Currently in a meeting with Mr Ostarine right now that is going to prevent me from talking to Mr Boulware any time soon.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yep. Huge loss for recruiting purposes


Jan 3, 2022, 2:40 PM

and his position group was consistently the best on the team.

Promoting Daquan Bowers?

Yep, it's weird timing and kills us w/recruiting


Jan 3, 2022, 4:05 PM

Next year just became even more important to do well so that we can sell recruits on the stability and winning culture of the program instead of having to rely on great recruiters.

Tony hasn't poached any coaches or players


Jan 3, 2022, 4:22 PM

BV can get ###### over this Bates ####

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He sure can....this feels more egregious than when


Jan 3, 2022, 5:00 PM

Stockstill told Derrick Hamilton he should declare for the draft early.
