They've had a good few weeks of meetings with players and coaches. Swinney says he loves the heat, he ran four miles at lunch, and the players are used to it after working out in the heat all summer.

He reached out to Swinney earlier this summer and that Boulware has desired to join the staff for quite some time.

How did we all know you would be here to say something negative? If you don't like coach speak, which is all these press conferences are ever going to be then just stay away. But then you wouldn't be able to get your kicks ruffling feathers would you?

then perhaps you shouldn’t read the comments section.
I don’t think anyone wants Dabo to say that a player sucks, but there is a difference between positivity and lying.
I would much prefer this:
“Everyone is working hard and improving. We are pleased with where all four guys are.”
Over this:
“This is the best group of QBs I have ever coached. They are all capable of winning the Heisman and playing in the NFL.”
The former is positive and doesn’t throw anyone under the bus, while the latter is misleading and clearly not true.
Our backups are not currently capable of leading our team to victory, and it’s disingenuous to say that they are.

So wait, you are allowed to come in and comment however you want, but someone that only said it was predictable you would come in and make a negative comment about what everyone who is a Clemson fan knows Dabo would say is not okay? IDK JK seems pretty hypocritical to me...

as long as it falls within TNet’s board rules.
The poster in question (Mcguirefan77) criticized me and my post, accused me of trying to ruffle feathers, and told me to stay away.
My response was simple: if my comment was so bothersome, perhaps they shouldn’t read the comments section. I never told that person to leave. I never said that they couldn’t post. And I never criticized them or their content.
Oh, and I also explained my reasoning and what I feel would have been a more reasonable response from Dabo.
You trying to draw some sort of false equivalency and calling me a hypocrite is a reach. But I think you know that.

I never once criticized you, I only pointed out that it was predictable you would come in to make a negative comment, it's what you do and have been doing for a very long time. I never told you to leave Tigernet, I just said stay away from the press conferences if you already know what Dabo is going to say in them. Stop reading things you already know you aren't going to like and you will be a happier person, I promise.

So when did Dabo make this statement that you appear to quote him on? - “This is the best group of QBs I have ever coached. They are all capable of winning the Heisman and playing in the NFL.”
Or are you just sensationalizing and exaggerating?

That quote was clearly not an actual Dabo quote.

Aug 2, 2024, 8:29 AM

It was a slight exaggeration of comments he has made in the past (e.g., Kyle Parker will be an NFL QB, the 2023 receivers are the fastest he has had, no transfer portal player is good enough to play for us, etc.).
I’m all for Dabo being positive and encouraging, but the over the top comments and predictions for players is not necessary. It only serves to create unrealistic expectations by the fan base, which then leads to Dabo getting upset when fans’ expectation exceeds their appreciation. It also makes Dabo look like a liar.

Yeah, that same speak as last year, and said we had 10 OL that could start and play multiple positions.
Disappointing about Oliver. I was excited when we signed him. Hopefully he'll stick it out and get one or two years.
Pennington in a good place. I hope so. Wasn't it two years ago that DP was a day 1 starter. He's got the skills, just sounds like that bulb needs to come on.
Are we going to get positions coaches interviews?

I absolutely do, my dad was in Kuwait moving towards Iraq at that very moment....
99.9% of coaches sound exactly like Dabo during these press conferences and Dabo has been here long enough that we all already pretty much know what he is going to say. He lives by the power of positivity and always will. Just accept it for what it is...
