Dabo's first recruiting class had 12 players. We fired our

Coach mid-season and the program was about as low as it could go. We still have those players on this year's team...now who in their right mind would have thought that we would have the success we've had since then? And recruiting is only getting better each year. So it only stands to reason that our stock is rising.
Meanwhile, SCAR is not recruiting as well, and Spurrier is losing Shaw and Clowney. Also, the rest if the SEC is getting better, and he's getting older.
We should not have lost the last 2 years, but we did. Players have to make plays and protect the football. That sucks, but it will get fixed and we are in good shape to turn the tide.

Success...well first you have to start with realistic

Expectations and goals. Then, as those are achieved, they should be redefined in line with where your program is at any given time. For us, this is as successful as we have been in 30 years.
Now if we continue at this level, then the expectations and goals should change. In other words, if we continue to be ranked high, but also continue to lose to ranked opponents (or worse...revert back to Clemsoning), then we are underachieving. But we are not underachieving as a program.
I don't like that we've lost a few we could've won, but we are still successful as a program. Many would love to be us right now.

#### right. What's wrong with so many commenters on here with their dabo hate? Last I looked, we were 10-2. We better watch out that Florida doesn't take him.

They fired Fulmer and have had 3 coaches since Clemson hired Dabo, they'd switch places in a heart beat. You mention Florida ? A dumpster fire that the only reason the coach is not losing his job is an $8 million buyout.

Not saying Dabo is doing a bad job.......

......but we were 9-0 against teams Byrnes or Summerville would have beaten. 1-2 against our real schedule. We were 10-2 because of our schedule, not coaching abilities.

So we're 1-2 against top 10 teams. That's pretty good. Go ask anyone in the top 10.

Only IDIOT fans of a 10-2 team scream fire the coach.
While several idiots in this thread and all over the board are ragging about the easy part of the rest of the schedule, they seem to forget , we weren't doing that well against the rest of them before Dabo took over. Yes it's fine to be disappointed, just keep some perspective about it.
Tn fired Fulmer and has had 3 coaches since Dabo's been at Clemson. How'd that work out for them ?

Made for the HUNH. When the brought Malzahn back, it was plug and play. You know nothing about football. What a dumb comparison.
