I like his play calling for the most part

I could do without hearing how player x played for the glory of the one who is our creator, blah blah blah. His post-game interview after FAU sounded like a revival.

I agree, I think god should be left out of sports. Football on Friday and Saturday and God on Sunday.

their faith, so I think God just lets 'em play football.

Of course, you could have a guy say after a loss:

"We would have won if Jesus hadn't made me fumble"

post-game interview after the FAU game. Its his right to say it, but it made it really annoying to listen to.

calling for the most part. They (you included) like the plays that work and criticize the ones that don't. Congrats on being just like everyone else. If you don't like his PC don't listen.

Sep 27, 2006, 5:43 PM

I didn't criticize his play calling. And no, he doesn't have the right to preach in a post-game show. If he wants to hold bible studies, great, I'm for it. Provide religious counseling to players? Super. On a post-game show, you talk about the game, about which God has nothing to do. That's why it's called a game. You sure don't hear TB doing it.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm pretty sure he can....


Sep 27, 2006, 5:45 PM

otherwise they'd have asked him not to by now or stopped interviewing him.

Let me put it another way


Sep 27, 2006, 5:47 PM

He shouldn't.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

maybe, maybe not


Sep 27, 2006, 5:49 PM

Since I'm not his immediate supervisor or the person in charge of postgame, it isn't my call. If you feel that strongly about it either way, contacting the network or the athletic dept. about it is your prerogative.

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

I'll tell them you approved my contacting them.***

Why shouldn't he.


Sep 27, 2006, 5:53 PM [ in reply to Let me put it another way ]

He's not forcing religion on you. He is simply thanking his lord and savior for all the blessing in his life. Nothing wrong with that.

You're probably right...I respect his faith,


Sep 27, 2006, 5:54 PM [ in reply to Let me put it another way ]

but the post-game press conference is intended to disseminate info about the game. If he wants to preach, he certainly can, but it detracts a little IMO from what is supposed to be a football oriented interview.

Just my $0.02.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Agreed.***

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

me too to a certain degree...


Sep 27, 2006, 5:55 PM

but it's not that high on my list of concerns. You have my permission to agree with that too. :)

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

He was talking about football though...


Sep 27, 2006, 5:59 PM [ in reply to You're probably right...I respect his faith, ]

it's just that his views of the game also had religious beliefs mixed in. He wasn't delivering a sermon so much as mixing in his gratitude and praise to God in his analysis of the game.

I get annoyed by Bible Thumpers too, but what makes me all out mad is people who get offended and want to silence anyone who brings up Jesus.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not offended, didn't mean to come across that way.***

And for him he cannot separate the performance of the...


Sep 27, 2006, 7:08 PM [ in reply to He was talking about football though... ]

team and WHY he sees that it happens that way. I guess if it doesn't matter to him it should not matter to anyone else....

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

his beliefs are fine


Sep 27, 2006, 7:40 PM

but i kind of laughed at his post game comments because they sounded so much like something jerry falwell would say if he coached.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He can talk about whatever he wants, actually. There's this


Sep 27, 2006, 5:49 PM [ in reply to Lighten up, Francis ]

thing called the first amendment, which *gasp* does still apply to Christians after all.

Now if Tommy doesn't want him to talk about religion, that's a seperate issue.

It starts at the Top from Tommy to Brad and is a foundation should you care to join
As for me - I am thankful we have coaches, players and a President of the University that are men of Faith
And thankful for the quality of individual playing at Clemson as a result.

Post game interviews are for talking about the football game period.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah - This is GREAT News!


Sep 27, 2006, 5:34 PM

Spence has done a great job for Clemson. His play calling may have been conservative at times but you cannot argue with success and the Tigers are very successful this year!

We are lucky to have the coaching staff we do. Thanks to them and others we have vastly improved our recruiting, thus our talent, and we are now a feared opponent for ANYONE, ANYWHERE. The Tigers are back on top!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He deserves it. He's been steadily improving since arriving


Sep 27, 2006, 5:43 PM

here, and you can tell by the looks of our offense. I remember at times last year when I just wanted to scream "NO MORE GOTD*MN SCREEN PASSES" but this year you can tell they've been reduced and are being used in much more effective ways. He still prefers the bubble screen to the 5-yard out, but this year everything is working better because of the balance of the playcalling. Just look at the second to last drive in the FSU game and then the last drive. Pretty good stuff in my opinion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Great award for a great coach. We are blessed to have him.***
