Let me ask a serious question, do you blame Wayne


Sep 4, 2016, 11:36 PM

for going out of bounds or do you blame Dabo for not informing his team to STAY IN BOUNDS ??? Poor coaching either way guys, especially IMMEDIATELY after calling a TTIMEOUT to make sure everyone understood the situation.

It was atrociously handled by Dabo. You can all keep thinking what you will, but not having your team prepared in critical situations is just not acceptable as a #2, possible championship caliber team.

I'm wrong about that, explain to me how I'm wrong please ??? You can't.

Sep 4, 2016, 11:43 PM [ in reply to Let me ask a serious question, do you blame Wayne ]

Give it a rest. For a supposed Clemson fan you are spending an inordinate amount of time bashing a coach who is 3-1 against Auburn (a team we are 14-34-2 against) and who just got our first win at Auburn since 1950. Whatever heightened expectations you have are based on Dabo's work and accomplishments so no, you do not have any place second guessing him.

Sep 4, 2016, 11:44 PM [ in reply to Let me ask a serious question, do you blame Wayne ]

never have happened last night because somehow Auburn's special teams could not duplicate what just happened in tonight's game... twice, or are we speculating on the conversation between Dabo and Gallman during the time out?

Dabo said,


Sep 4, 2016, 11:53 PM

"We trust Wayne Gallman. He ends up bouncing out. The competitiveness of him took over and he made a bad decision..."

Sounds like nothing was said during the timeout. That falls on the staff.

In reality, a kneel down would have been the best call. Auburn had no timeouts. Use that to your advantage. Kneel, run clock, then kick. At worst, we miss and Auburn takes over with less than 10 seconds left and needing 70 yards for a TD.

Kick either way. Going for it on 4th down was the riskiest course to take. It put us in an unnecessary, very slippery situation.

Yes, for not admitting


Sep 5, 2016, 12:14 AM

it was handled poorly. Game should never have come down to that. FG is not even necessary part of discussion BUT since Wayne was not told to stay in bounds, he had to make an unnecessary choice and that was on the coach or coaches.

Point being that maybe FG is blocked, missed, whatever could happen that I've never heard of maybe, it is still chance to ice the game. Coaching scared or out of fear, is that a fm good thing.

Our coaches are the best in the country, but the fundamental aspect of the game was lost in the last minute.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Actually you are wrong


Sep 5, 2016, 12:24 AM

Wayne said in his post game interview he knew to stay inbounds but he didn't because he thought he could beat the linebacker to the first down. He didn't make a choice to stay inbounds because he didn't know the situation he thought we could win the game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We had a timeout...one of the most important things that


Sep 5, 2016, 1:00 AM [ in reply to You have been trying to blame the coaches all day.*** ]

could have been accomplished in the sideline huddle was to make sure everyone knew the situation and how to play it correctly. Dabo should own that one, not say basically Wayne screwed up. Coaches should have reminded him, and really the entire offense, of what to do. Right?

The obvious thing to do there was stay in bounds and burn clock. Speaking of that, why were we even calling a running play on 3rd down? That's risky in and of itself. A fumble is more likely running Gallman up the gut then it is with Deshaun taking a couple steps and kneeling. Auburn had no timeouts... Kneel down and burn virtually the whole clock. Kick the ball and try to seal it that way.

Maybe Dabo got a little greedy there..wanting the first down? Or did he think it was okay to not get a first down?.. and give the ball back to Auburn with a little under a minute left? Because otherwise, the better option wasn't taken.. and it was there for the taking. Kneel, kick, ballgame.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sep 5, 2016, 12:06 AM [ in reply to Dabo said, ]

At worst, they block the kick and return it for a touchdown, or the snap goes over Ryan's head (which almost happened earlier in the game). If we're talking worst case scenario, I'll take a botched field goal attempt over a botched hand off / fumble/ snap at that point.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The coaches should be reminding players to stay in bounds in those situations.


Sep 5, 2016, 12:13 AM [ in reply to Let me ask a serious question, do you blame Wayne ]

But players shouldn't need reminding at this level. Gallman shoulders most of the blame for going out of bounds there.

Wayne said as much and Dabo said they'd discussed DW4


Sep 5, 2016, 12:40 AM

taking a knee, so keeping the clock running was at the forefront in that decision.

It seems Dabo is hugging his running back when he says WG had a momentary lapse driven by his competitiveness.

That kid played his #### off Saturday night. His blocking on Auburn's pressure was other worldly, mentioned on more than a few occasions by the announcers. He didn't back down all night and that doesn't even consider the 30 carries and 123 yards against a stout Auburn D & front.

If you can love on and hate on a young man that gave you and the team his all when discussing a momentary lapse of reason, it seems that's how you might do it?

After a missed PAT and a high snap on a FG attempt that was only saved by Seth.Dabo made the right move. But yes you may be right, A blocked attempt last night would have resulted in tying the game with a PAT attempt to win,instead of having to drive the field.

A lot of people just don't want to criticize Dabo no matter what. I love Dabo, but being a beloved successful Clemson coach doesn't mean you're incapable of making a bad decision. If the same scenario happened in the Vandy/SC game, with Vandy in Clemson's position, then 99% of the people defending Dabo's decision would be saying what a dumb decision Vandy's coach made.

Auburn scored touchdowns on 8.3% of their possessions prior


Sep 5, 2016, 12:02 AM

that decision by Dabo. That means Auburn had a 91.7% chance of not scoring a TD on our D, and that was based on a large and recent sample size. We had already missed one extra point, and had another snap go well high. Had it not been for an excellent play by our holder, it could have been a turnover. Now Dabo saw the kicking issues, and knew Auburn's chances of scoring were low, so he took a calculated risk, and it worked.
