How many losses in a row until YOU personally decide
Dec 2, 2013, 8:54 AM
|
|
enough is enough? Being serious...this is the same thing that got Lloyd Carr fired (and he won a national championship!). For me, the number is 7. I think for the admin, it is probably more like 8 or 9. It's got to the point that I could care less about 10 win seasons...wins over Wake Forest and Georgia Tech and NC State. Sure, they make it bearable, but in all reality, you HAVE to beat SC at some point. That point for me is over the next two years. I don't care if he wins the ACC championship twice in a row...if he loses to SC twice more, I'm done.
Please give a number (of losses in a row) and your reasoning.

I can't tolerate that crap anymore. I've said for a while that Dabo has been changing the perception of this program. However, it is clear now that the only change is that we no longer lose to inferior opponents. 2 consecutive losses to FSU and 5 in a row vs the coots and I can't lie...enough is enough. I expect changes.

Are you serious. They have the youngest team in the FBS, and look who we lose.

Unless Quarles, Hampton, and others turn pro, SC loses less people than Clemson. However, I do expect Clemson to have one of its best defenses in a long time in 2014, particularly if Beasley and all other juniors stay.
The sad thing is that it used to be SC that choked in this game. Got to give Spurrier credit. Dabo needs to learn how to get the players relaxed and not playing uptight. A stop to the trick play calling when it was not needed will help. If Clemson had scored on the opening drive, I think the team would have relaxed. Aside from the turnovers, the most disappointing thing is that the defense could not stop Connor Shaw from running the ball.

I'll preface my answer by admitting to be somewhat of a "pumper". I love Dabo and want him to be the head coach asst Clemson for the next 25 years.
My honest answer would probably be 7 as well, although after the game Saturday night I would've said 6. We should win next year, but if not then 2015 is a win or move on type game.

Well since in the history of the programs no team has won 6 in a row, it had better be FIVE

You mean your team hasn't ever won 6 in a row. Clemson has and went on to win a 7th. The time to let a coach go is when he has a bad season on top of losing to his rival. The rivalry opens the coach up to excess criticism but until they have a bad season firing isn't on the table.

I'm not attending any more USC Clemson games. Not because we lose. It's just because I'm tired of going to Williams Brice every other year since 2009 and watch a good Clemson team absolutely fall on their face. With the exception of the 2012 game, these haven't been enjoyable games to watch.
Seriously I don't know if it's the fact that USC has more in state atheletes that grew up with the rivalry or something. The USC players always seem so much more into the game.

Saturday did it for me. I have resigned myself that as long as Dabo is head coach, we will have a winning season, but never a team that can play consistently on the national level.

not had a team at the national level for 20+ years. Now here we are in the mix and people act like this has been going on forever. That is so funny to me since I have followed the Tigers for decades and wanted them to be in top 10 discussions and etc. And this year and last we have. Can we not make the next step in the next year or two?

effectively giving the game away as the result of mental mistakes and unforced errors is another matter entirely.

And how hard is it for someone to spy on a 40 year old bald qb that was their ONLY offense.
Dropping balls, receivers who obviously cant get open unless it is a screen pass, an offensive cordinator who chokes on his own spit against like competition.
Beating basketball schools year in and year out just isnt enough.

A loss is tough to stomach when two teams take the field and fight for a win. But when a loss is wrapped up with 6 shiny bows, it's a gift and it's nauseating.

I was fed up completely at three, and would have fired him at four. Unfortunately, as long as we continue to win 9 or 10 against the Sisters of the Poor, he's not going anywhere. For high school seniors as a point of reference, we have not beten USC since they were in the 7th grade. We can talk all we want about our "domination" of the series, but that is ancient history to the guys we are trying to recruit and also to kids growing up and becoming a fan of a certain team.

Man he really turned that around.
However, I'm incredibly pissed. Namely about abandoning the run game in the 4th; we came out and threw it five straight times before handing off to McDowel, who promptly picked up over a dozen. Then Tajh fumbles on the next play.
I thought our playcalling was horrible, Bryant was non-esistent, Humphries had the worst game of his career and the offense played really tight as the game wore on.
