Leave the safe space of TigerNet, and I can assure far less than 98.5% agree with him. He doesn't get to decide who is and isn't a bandwagon fan.

"Maybe we need to lose a few more games, lighten up the bandwagon"
Do you support Dabo throwing the game to Miami to lighten the bandwagon?

but, lose a couple more games and this place will blow up..... Also... the % would probably shift to more like 60-40%. jus sayin. This is why you don't make those 'cute' statements. IMO

I really don't get people who think he should rip his team or players publically. Or think staying positive is wrong. The Tigers are doing the best they can with what they have.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Unless it isn’t a rose, in which case there’s no way it can make a case that it somehow smells more correctly rosy than the roses do. In fact, the more strenuously a non-rose tries to make the case that it’s either an actual rose or somehow better than 98.5% of all other roses, the more it’s aroma becomes a stench.
Like I’ve always said, there are 3 types of people in the world - those who can count, and those who can’t.

98.5 and 1.5 are literally made up numbers! It’s Optimistic, Realistic, or Pessimistic. But I don’t count because I’m a Skeptic.

It’s simple really. In this particular situation, You understand and accept that the state of the program isn’t great and doesn’t seem to be getting better.
Coaches can’t get a handle on their players (Shipley) and the head coach instead of trying to unite the fan base during times of adversity is trying to divide it even more.

because I find him to be one, if not the most consistent, evenly tempered posters on this bored.
And forgive me if some consider this blasphemous, but he seems to pray to the same gods I do, Logos & Ethos.

If your criteria to comment on TNet is to know enough to be able to coach D1 football then no one on this thread, or most any other, should really be saying anything.

We agree on that - if you don't know enough to be a coach on that level - don't say anything about what the guys who did get hired decided is best.

I don't agree with the win is a win belief. We have consistently struggled to put away opponents early and decisively since 2020. The heart attack games should be reserved for the playoffs.

So are you saying that Dabo doesn't engage in coach speak or are you saying that when he has made these comments recently that he stopped the coach speak and spoke the truth? Because, surely, you are not saying he always speaks the truth and never engages in coach speak. That would be absurd. So then, we just have to believe that the coach speak suddenly ended and we now are debating the truth, which still seems odd, but more possible.

Not saying one way or another on whether Dabo always tells it like it is. But if fans constantly want him to tell it like it is, they probably mean in regard to the football team. Not the fans. Or the self checkout at Walmart.

Talking “to” coots implies a modicum of understanding that coots do not possess.
Talking “at” coots is more accurate. Talking at coots is a complete waste of time, but it’s descriptively accurate.
I applaud Dabo’s charitable addressing of coots, as if they had the adequate number of neurons to comprehend what he’s saying.

I believe I would hold your posts in higher regard if I sensed that you are a true Clemson enthusiast with a solid understanding of Clemson football. Assuming you're a passionate Clemson supporter, it would be great to see more of that "shine" through in your contributions.
The issue I've observed is that you consistently defend mediocrity, which can compromise objectivity.

I saw your original post come through with a bunch of errors and incomplete sentences but it looks like you quickly recalled it and fixed it. It was only up for a few seconds and I must have seen it right after it posted.

Francis use to try and argue with facts. Now his argument is "Dabo said it, therefore it's true." He's not using logic or arguing in good faith.

It all fell apart when he was defending Streeter.

Then Streeter got fired, and he was left holding the bag.
I do appreciate Francis Marion the poster. He is one of the more solid posters on Tnet. I just wish he could be more objective.

“I pointed out that he took a 100 ranked offense and turned it into an offense ranked 48, which shows substantial improvement. Doesn't mean I'm against Streeter being let go. Doesn't mean I disagree with Dabo. It doesn't mean anything, other than you don't understand math.”
This is from the thread that got all this nonsense started. I defended math, not Streeter. I even said I’m not against him being let go.
Regarding being objective, objective is the definition of what I was…
“Objective: adjective (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.“

He obviously believes the 98.5/1.5 numbers Dabo provided. I mean, it could really be 97.6/2.4 or 99.1/0.8.

“Like it ain’t”
Saying fans are disappointed because we don’t go undefeated isn’t “like it is”. It’s a flat out lie.

“fans are disappointed because we don’t go undefeated”
It’s almost verbatim what you said. I questioned it by changing it to the opposite since you said it was a lie. I could have added “So…” to the beginning of my question but space did not allow.

You're changing "BECAUSE WE DON'T" to "WHEN WE DON'T"
Are fans disappointed if we don't go undefeated? Sure....
Are fans only disappointed if we don't go undefeated (what Dabo actually said).....absolutely not....that's a lie

again. That wasn't an intentional change to alter the meaning of the statement. Did you even read my response? At any rate, I just changed it so it is verbatim for you. "When", "Because", "If", "As a result of", etc, etc... message is the same.
Here, I'll put it in a language you are familiar with...
I was upset "when" we didn't use the portal.
I was upset "because" we didn't use the portal.
I will be upset "if" we don't use the portal.
I am upset "as a result of" us not using the portal.

Let's use Dabo's actual words...
"We're at a point in our time, and I hate that, where people -- if you don't go undefeated -- people say you're losers. That you're terrible," Swinney said. "And it's such a terrible mindset. And honestly maybe we need to lose a few games and lighten up the bandwagon. Sometimes the bandwagon can get a little too full."
This is flat out false.

Fans want Dabo to get up there and bash his team and staff on national media. Its pitiful they want that kind of behavior from a guy whos a leader of young men. Dabo has taken blame on himself plenty of times, some fans just dont get it. The reason Dabo has been able to recruit at a high level is bc he does not blast his players and coaches, hes shown loyalty(to a fault i will admit) if you take that away you kill a huge selling point and the negative recruiting ramps up from competitors. Handle that kind of stuff behind closed doors its not the worlds buisness.

We don’t want him to bash players, but we also don’t want him lying about them. For example:
Last year, he said the QB room was the best he’s ever had. Ridiculous statement that clearly wasn’t true.
This year, he said our WRs are the fastest we’ve ever had. Also patently false.
There are countless other examples of Dabo being over the top in what he says, to the point that he’s engaging in lying and falsehoods.

Dabo is a great coach and even a better man of great character however, he was a great salesman before coaching. He can’t publicly bash his players or coaches, including the ones he hired. Is he perfect, no .. no one is ..
One game at a time moving forward, beat Miami ..Go Tigers !!!

I really have no problem with what Dabo recently said. What I do get tired of is the BS Coach talk. Telling us how great some walk-on or 0 - 2 star player is. I'd really rather he kept his comments limited and let the teams on the field and in the classroom performance speak for itself.

It is on his watch! He gets paid to have or get the answers. Feels like 2010 is honest, but sobering. It begs the question of how Clemson got to this point. That was 13 years ago! Maybe, Dabo needs to compare and contrast the two years and figure it out?

Everybody needs to lighten up. Yes, we want to win every game. That's as it should be. But years like this happen to even the best. I was at my first Clemson game in 1949 and don't ever plan to get off the ban wagon, no matter what..
