I dont disagree with him... I mean we had a HUGE recruiting group at that game... THAT GAME. Would you want to come here after seeing that? Coaching not making any sense? Fans throwing trash on the field? Looking like that after having two weeks to prepare?
That was one of the most un-Clemson games we have witnessed in the Dabo era... and in a time when we need recruiting momentum, we laid an egg and looked bad doing it in front of the next group we want to bring in.
Yes... there was damage.
Now we have a group of players who felt like they had something going to win the ACC and make the CFP and now none of it is in their hands. They have 3 very losable games left on the schedule. Dabo has a difficult job this week getting program momentum back before this year is out or the damage from this past weekend will continue to manifest.
Can it be done? Yes... Dabo can if anyone can.. but it wont be easy.
Dabo garners the label of being "stubborn"....which is a way of saying "doesn't learn to change easily". We're not winning the games we should and Dabo doesn't seemingly learn easily from it.
