Shame on idiots for complaining about Will Swinney


Nov 29, 2018, 3:46 PM

Could we use that spot for a higher value recruit? Sure we could. But nothing compares to the value Dabo has brought to our program. Giving him a little joy in return for all he gives, is a smart and simple thing to do.
Plus, Will has done a great job so quit complaining. End of rant.

There is definitely no shortage of idiots here.

He's done a great job on special teams as the holder


Nov 29, 2018, 3:55 PM

Hasn't botched a hold in 2 years, and gives us an option for fakes since he's a WR and is relatively small. I have no problem with him being on the team. The "preferred walk-on" designation seems to be there to be used at the coach's discretion. Kinda the same with Herbstreit's kids. Neither seem like they have the size that most kids have at those positions - far from it. But I'm pretty sure CDS has proven he knows what he's doing.

I read somewhere that they were both 2* kids which to my mind means they have enough athletic ability to contribute. I doubt if the referred to idiots will agree with me, but I expect them to work their tails off to make their family proud of the decision to play at Clemson.

If you read the threads there have been multiple whiners about him. Pretty sure they fall in to one of three categories: cheapskates,
2% ers, or chronic complainers.

Re: Shame on idiots for complaining about Will Swinney

I was not aware of any complaints. But, I have NO problem at all with him being there, starting at holder. I think he does a jam up job. I just wish they would have awarded the scholarship to another team member. I am fairly certain Dabo can afford to pay his way to Clemson. I'm sure there are players who need that money more. Even if it wasn't a coach's kid....like say Herbie's kids coming to Clemson. Or some other famous/rich person. If they can easily afford it, let's help out some kid whose mom is working 2 jobs and he works at Bojangles every night after practice.

Have you listened to the crowd when Will appears onscreen during the pregame video introductions? The only people who are cheered more than Will are Renfrow, Wilkins, & Dabo.

Multiple complaints in various threads. Petty, ridiculous griping. Apologies for popping off but to begrudge this coach a moment of personal happiness is pathetic.
After the “win is a loss” lunacy, I wasn’t in the mood to let it go anymore.

"Could we use that spot for a higher value recruit? Sure we could."

I'm a little confused. If the above statement is in fact true, then it would be wrong to give that spot to Will Swinney, no?

I won't complain about it but it's not right. Unfortunately this kind of favoritism plagues sports from pee wee all the way to college ball.....

If you don’t see the value then perhaps you’d prefer a losing team with no coaches sons on it. Gamecocks fit that.

The “value”? What does that mean?

Has Dabo threatened to quit if his son doesn’t get to play?

they dont' understand the "family" aspect that every recruit


Nov 30, 2018, 10:21 AM [ in reply to Re: Shame on idiots for complaining about Will Swinney ]

expresses as a positive when they visit..i assume at Carolina there is no family atmosphere and an attitude that the family/relatable factor is not necessary for a football team..at least thats the what i assume by looking at the results on the field. Only thing i see is a bunch of whiners that mock what winners do.

The Losers are always worried about the Winners and The Winners are always worried about Winning. Just check those pulse numbers and understand who the Losers are when you check T-Net forums.

Give me a break. You think recruits are impressed because Dabo gave a spot to his son? That’s ridiculous.

It is what it is. Sometimes it’s about who you know not how good you are. Like I said I won’t complain about it but I won’t ignore the reality of the situation either and if someone is going to start a delusional thread about it well....

I've not seen anyone complaining at all. You reference "various threads", but haven't posted any concrete evidence.

Nobody - and I mean literally nobody: fans, players, TNET members, etc - has complained about Will receiving a preferred walk-on spot. If he was straight up offered a scholarship, that would have been different. But he wasn't. He has had to earn his spot and he's done just that.

Then you don’t read Tnet threads because yes they have. Multiple times. The day I posted it there was a thread that referred to him sarcastically several times. It’s not the headline but in the thread. If it doesn’t apply to you, terrific.

Re: Shame on idiots for complaining about Will Swinney


Nov 30, 2018, 3:31 PM

Will Swinney was one of the walk-ons that was given a scholarship for this year when we had some left after recruiting so we did not turn away any recruits because of the offer. If someone wants to argue that it could have been given to someone that had a greater financial need there might be some merit, but nobody can make an argument that any recruits were affected by a scholarship given over the summer.

I haven’t noticed anyone saying anything negative. I’m not sure how they could. Will is a great young man and a very good athlete. He is helping the team and honestly I can see a lot of improvement in him. I think he’s an asset. Just my opinion.
