Dabo last night


Dec 6, 2015, 6:29 PM

Living in NC I have heard from several today how they lost a lot of respect for Dabo last night in the way he did our punter. I was at the game so I did not see it, was it that bad or they just butthurt over losing.

a turnover on downs deep in your own territory, it makes a coach mad.

just butthurt. anyone would've done that.

He essentially handed UNC a TD with a poor decision.


Dec 6, 2015, 6:33 PM

It was justified.

Dec 6, 2015, 6:42 PM

Watch the play again and you'll see a pack of UNC guys running directly at him. Kick would have been blocked or best case a shank worth about 10 yds. Punter saw that and tried to improvise, not the best decision but people are acting like the kid had planned to fake it himself all along.

To get blocked. Poor protection and scheme. Coaches are partly to blame for it

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wrong....


Dec 6, 2015, 7:20 PM [ in reply to The D gave up the TD, not the punter. ]

he had all the room, and time in the world to get the punt off. He rolled that way, saw what looked like open field that quickly collapsed after he tucked to run. Terrible decision, and gave UNC 7 points.

Go Tigers!

Nothing wrong with chewing him out, but he went back after him a second time and then hung him out in the media. It was not one of Dabo's best moments. Dabo looked tired and I suspect he just lost his composure a bit.

Maybe there's a back story we know nothing about? Maybe it is for something that could cost us tons - ACC Championship and playoff? Maybe it is oldtime coaching? Maybe Dabo knows his players and was trying to motivate everyone?

Re: Ask Coots how their new Czar would have handled it***


Dec 6, 2015, 6:42 PM

Dabo was angry, with reason to be. But we don't know what Dabo said to him. If you noticed, Dabo did put him back in the next time we punted.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That was a normal, perfectly acceptable reaction by Dabo


Dec 6, 2015, 6:39 PM

in my opinion. I'm pretty sure I saw Dabo encouraging him and telling him "good job" after a punt later on. This is football, and I would imagine players are used to getting chewed out when they screw up, especially in such a major way.

Re: Dabo last night


Dec 6, 2015, 6:40 PM

I thought Dabo handled it the best that he could. The player made a completely bone-head play and there was no explaining it to anyone. He didn't parade the player out to the press and make him explain the play like I've seen another coach do. There was some discussion on the sideline, and they moved on.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Saying, I was shocked..by the Punter's action & Dabo's


Dec 6, 2015, 6:49 PM

But we must realize DaBO had a huge amount of strain & stress on him in this game that I would place up there with Danny's NC run.

GoTiGERS!

No problem here...Teasdell took the game into his...


Dec 6, 2015, 6:48 PM

...own hands with that boneheaded play.

I think I know what he was thinking. He saw the offensive line shift right, and the defence followed it. The left side of the field opened up. Andy thought he had a wide open run to the first down marker, but his eyes were larger than the speed of his legs. That open field collapsed so fast on him, he probably couldn't believe it. He actually tried to pass it, but his team mates were heading down field to cover the punt. In the end, a complete clusterfook.

While there may have been praise if he had pulled that off, it was an incredibly selfish move in an extremely high stakes situation that had no place for "cowboy diplomacy". In the end, it could very easily have cost Clemson the game.

I'm not sure I would not have reacted similarly.

Re: Dabo last night


Dec 6, 2015, 6:48 PM

The manner in which Dabo spoke to Teasdale was certainly justified. CUGRAD2011 is correct....committing a turnover in our territory on a non-directed, non coached play in this type of high stakes game would make any coaches blood boil.

A remember coaches yelling in my face with their spit coming out... take it or don't play the game.

Now of course the media has nothing better to do than focus on all this BS. Instead of looking at the targeting Watson took or the ridic interception call.

It's done and over and we need to focus on OK.

Go Tigers!

Re: Dabo last night


Dec 6, 2015, 6:55 PM

I think it was a little of both.I don't think Teasdall took it upon himself to run,but in the spur of the moment made a bad decision which the holes turned into a td.
Dabo had every right to jump down his throat,but the second tongue lashing ,imo,was a bit much.
The thing about this game was that there were enough miscues on both sides that caused the coaching staff of both teams to lose their cool.
They may be coaches,but they are also human.
In the end both coaches congratulated each other,and Fedora told Dabo to take it all the way.
I suspect Dabo will learn from his tirade,as will Teasdall about his miscue.Lesson Learned.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It may have been a tad too far. But not because he yelled at


Dec 6, 2015, 7:14 PM

the Punter. The Punter totally deserved to be freaked out on. It was just the fact that Dabo went back to him after the TD which was a few minutes later to take another shot at him. And then... during his half-time interview he took another public shot at him. Though he didn't say anything bad, it was just like he wouldn't let it go.


Dabo's behavior wasn't a big deal in the end. But it did seem more like a personal anger than a coach chewing out his players. But it's silly to say that someone lost respect for him. It's an emotional game and that was a CRAZY situation.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

For all we know, Dabo went back to take the sting out of it


Dec 6, 2015, 7:58 PM

after a moment of reflection.

Teasdall screwed up majorly and Dabo let him know it. That's his ####### job.

Same here. I just ask one what he thought


Dec 6, 2015, 7:21 PM

about his hero, Dean Smith, getting in the face of opposing teams player's (Iker Iturbe) face and cussing him out during game. Of course he swears it did not happen but I seem to remember that was one of the times Rick Barnes got in Dean's face
