His point was made very clear. He isn't changing just to change. Its too bad you can't grasp that

It wouldn't be "just to change".......it's to keep up with..

with the times.
If we weren't losing players to the portal then it wouldn't be such a hot topic..........prior to 3-4 years ago we weren't losing players to the portal............this wouldn't be "changing just to change" it'd be changing to better position the program to fit the times of the current state of college football.
I HATE the portal I HATE the NIL crap I HATE the societal "need to play now or I'm taking my ball and going home" mentality I also HATE the "we're Clemson, we're better than that" mentality........thinking like that we'll hurt the program at some point.
BUT, you either embrace it/learn to survive with it OR get left behind.
I'm sure FSU thought they were bullet proof after their 2013 dream team winning the national title.........two years later they were on a steep slide to the basement.................point being it can happen to anybody when you least expect it and Dabo doesn't need think just because "the clemson way" has worked 2015-2018 doesn't mean it'll work 2019-present/beyond.

There is no given in sports. The Yankees, the Celtics and the Packers all thought they would be dynasties for years and years but the reality is things change.

Um, there was a real need to “change “ last year after the Spring game when TP got injured, leaving us little to no depth at the MOST important position on the field. Even if DJ was lightning it up , we could have been 1 injury from starting Hunter Helms. I have nothing against Helms, and in fact I think he’s probably very serviceable, but if Dabo continues to stick with DJ and his putrid play , they tells me he has no confidence that Helms could really help. He’ll never admit it , but not bringing in a at least one more guy , possibly a mobile QB , was a huge mistake. DJ is not going to magically become quicker and I think his throwing mechanics are awful and at this point in his career that’s ridiculous.

Why do the armchair experts on TigerNet think the Portal would have solved all our issues this year? The Portal is not like an NFL practice squad where a player can be called up when someone is injured. In normal years a team can only have 85 people on scholarship except now COVID has altered that. I have never seen an explanation of how the numbers work this year so maybe back in the spring, we could have taken on some transfers but maybe we couldn't. The ship has already sailed on the Portal this year so there is no need even talking about it.

I believe any super seniors do not count this year against the scholarship limit. I think moving forward it reverts back to 85 and anyone who could use that year later counts against the limit. If someone decides to leave then it is a lose one get one scenario.

do you think the portal is like Amazon, you order a QB and a few O Linemen and your program is kicking it!?

How Would This Be Different

from anything else Dabo states publicly? Everything Dabo says in public is meant for one audience only, the team.

Dabo's Answer: "Blah, blah, blah, DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM, blah, blah, blah, 2 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, blah, blah, blah, TREVOR LAWRENCE."
Your Answers: "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..."
So similar, but so different.
