I have Clemson diehard friends. They weren't expecting anything here. Certainly not shocking the world.

Dabo is a drain on that program

It blows my mind that there are legitimately Clemson fans who feel this way. Have they forgotten life before Dabo? 

I've never seen Dabo as a great coach, but he absolutely is a great program builder and recruiter and that's 90% of the battle on college sports and Clemson fans should have a shrine to the guy in their man caves.

They did have those shrines until he stopped when national titles.

Personally, I like Dabo and am fully aware the conversation doesn't even exist without him but I have a hard time believing that high flying OC was given the keys to that offense. Looked like Dabo was whispering run, run here. Probably should run here. Who knows

coming off the high he gave us is really tough for some, they too emotional 

And all die hard Clemson fans know die hard Gamecock fans.  They need to zoom out.  Gamecock would be flipping cars in downtown Columbia celebrating if they could stack the last 3 trash Clemson seasons together.

I don’t know about today but all the sources and digging last year said it was Riley calling the shots and the O worse than the DJU era (where Cade looked better).   Folks wanted Dabo to be the reason because it would mean him stepping away could fix it but it sure seems to be Garrett Riley is part of the problem.   Playcalling was better for DJU. DJU just sucked. Cade might just suck too.  But that playcalling today was straight trash.

If my gamecocks could ever win like 8 games 3 years in a row I’m jumping in the five points fountain 

I rarely watch college but was at a friend's where they have a couple of screens and saw a lot of the SC-ODU.

OMG. I would be embarrassed if I cared. A buddy is an ex Gamecocks football player, I know he was miserable today. Most of it.

Why can't Clemson attract a decent QB through the portal?

They could.  Dabo doesn’t run his program like that though.  Heck, Kirby even echoed the general principle of it too in his presser.   Dabo is not going to go pay some one year rental to replace someone in house doing it the right way.  He wants to recruit and groom people up for 4 years.  

Most importantly, Dabo also isn’t going to join and do what he rightfully complains about AND that is wrong with college football.  Dabo is right about that.  They are breaking college football. It needs to be fixed.  Not for Dabo to join the problem.  You shouldn’t be able to be DJU essentially.  Paid to play and hop year to year.   Frankly college football needs Dabos right now.  They need sensible voices that actually care about what it should be.  Lose those and it has no hope of being fixed 

NIL is not NIL.  It’s just pay to play and you shouldn’t be able to hop team to team with no penalty in that scenario

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
