One thing that has been proven I believe is that Brandon Streeter wasn’t as bad of a coach as I believed. Going back and watching some games from 2022. How he won 10 games with DJ was incredible. But the offense had an identity, inside zone running, qb keepers, easy passing concepts, and use of the TE. After what we have seen the last three years I wish Streeter had been given one more year. But hindsight is 20/20, I thought Garrett Riley would be a great hire. We’ll see what happens going forward. Go Tigers!

best QB recruiter and QB coach we have ever had
remember how the clemson world felt about him and how wrong the mass opinion aged out to be ... it's currently the same but for a different topics
he is doing fine though at Georgia. he is very involved and didn't miss a beat. got to coach Carson Beck, Gunner Stockton and is in CFP final four contention again. his QB1s play so well and play in the biggest game son the biggest stages
i'm happy for him and kind of think it's hilarious to see how he dodged a bullet

I will always love what Streeter did to earn stripes turning Cole into a QB that put his team on his back against OU.
However, as an OC, he was in over his head. He did the best he could under Dabo/Clemson's offense, but the problem with your argument is Street didn't recruit Gunner, the original commit to USUC until they fired Muskdump while Carson defected UGA for a lowly, now number two rated, A-she-she team.
You're attempting to conflate facts that don't support your argument unless you're a troll antagonist or a lazy, ignorant fan with base-level football IQ, Nike...

Ooops.
Prematurely TU’d you.
Firing Streeter was a mistake. G.Riley was Flavor of the Month. Never had staying power. But he looks so cool with his 7 day growth beard and baseball cap.

Agree with you on Streeter, he was not cut out for OC. We are a case study on the Peter Principle here, always promoting guys to the point of incompetence

We have always tended to blame coaches because criticizing them was considered acceptable vs kids on scholarship. Things are different now with everyone getting paid. I think, like the NFL, you will find that coaching matters less than roster management and payroll. All the coaches are pretty good, the supply of elite players is much smaller. Getting the most talent per $ is an art we must learn to master.

Streeter was a good QB coach and should have been kept in that role. I don’t blame any man for accepting a job that pays great even though it may not suite them and they may not be ready for it.
Same with Goodwin. They accepted jobs most assistants in the nation would have accepted.

Your word might be better than Dilfers
Arguably the worst QB ever to win a Super Bowl.
Disaster of a College Coach at UAB.
Not necessarily defending Streeter but using an old article from someone who then proved they were not much of a football coach doesn’t really support your position very well.

Just like he will this year, which will result in Riley being canned.
Here’s to Dabs hiring a great OC and letting him run his own offense, rather than the “Clemson offense.”

I've been thinking about that lately as well. Just odd that we can't seem to find an OC or DC (2 proven to do more with less) these last 5 years but we are absolutely flooded (60+ from David Hoods article) with "analyst" and all these other staff members that don't seem to leave and having "soft practices". Starting to see a common denominator here when you look back at everything from other perspectives , lenses, and as a whole.
Riley will more than likely be let go at the end of the season but he shouldn't be the only one. We don't need a scapegoat, we need a mass exodus unfortunately. Time for a change in philosophy.

Well...everyone thought Clemson was wrong about DJU. Oregon State (because he is a "West Coast" QB). FSU...because it was all coaching.
Even the Chargers thought they could straighten him out.
Maybe it wasn't the coach. Maybe it was the players. But how did we get so many "misses" in a row?

The major problem with all sports fans in today’s world is lack of patience. Coaches are fired some in their first year and many in their 2nd and 3rd year.
I never thought Clemson fans would turn on the most successful Head Coach in Clemson History. Even during Dabo’s struggles Clemson has still managed 10 plus win in all it one season over the past 5 years. That one season we finished 9-4.
I am curious as a lifetime Clemson fan who has had several family members graduate from Clemson, especially my daughter in 2015.
What are you expectations for Clemson Football every year ??? At least take the time to do some research about the last 50 to 60 years of Clemson Football history.
Try to consider the HC and how he has represented Clemson on and off the field. I really be interested to know what our fans expectations of the program are short term and long term ??? 🐅🐅🐅

I can answer one of your questions.
The expectations for Clemson Football every single year should be the following.
- Have a winning record AT MINIMUM (7-6 is a very low bar honestly all things considered).
- Beat the Coots.
We're on track to do neither right now unfortunately.
I'm not calling for Dabo's head, never will because I believe he can fix this but it should have never got this bad to begin with.

I think the expectation is always to be in it. At 1-3 we are not in the shape to be in anything this year and therefore so much back lash. To me 8-4 or better is a good year but if you go 8-4 at least make it feel like we had a chance to be in it. We out of it now.

go home from the game with a good experience. Win the games you should, and play well and be in the others. The Syracuse game was just hard to watch. Playing what had thus far been a terrible team and we look like a high school team.

expectations will be high.
If we shouldn’t expect to be one of the best teams in the country, why are we treating our program like it is? If we are supposed to be happy with good but not great results, then why spend so much on coaches and facilities?
Honestly, we could be 1-3 with a coach who makes a third of what Dabo makes, and not having among the highest paid coordinators.
This isn’t just about being 1-3 either. It’s about the last 5+ years of poor decisions by Dabo. He isn’t earning his salary lately.

it will be the question.
When we were on that run of winning our league with ease and competing for championships nationally I knew that was not sustainable forever. I knew we would have some years where we would slow down and have to regroup. And reading how fickle some fans were on this forum I knew the knee jerk would probably be irrational and not based on the whole body of work. At this point I don't think its everybody that is staring daggers at Dabo but maybe 15-20% that is thinking change at the top is the only option. On a side note hunch I think a majority of that percentage have always despised or been irritated by his outward Christianity and would really feel better if they didn't have to support it. But when he was dominating they had no choice. Now that he's not its their opportunity to bash.
Social media really amplifies the loud mouths and that isn't going to change. Dogging the standard bearer of our success is short sighted and tone deaf. I don't' take it seriously b/c i've seen it get righted by Dabo before (moving coaches out and getting upgrades.) I also see a scenario that if it is serious, that we nose dive for about the same amount of time from the Ford era to the Dabo era. Dabo is best case scenario.
AT this point I say ride out the storm and give the man some grace while he navigates. He hasn't been in this position in a while. The last time he was he countered pretty well.

Streeter lost me when he abandoned the run against SC in 2023. We had 195 yards rushing in the first half, had 14 point lead at home at one point, but for some reason he forgot that DJ wasn’t Joe Montana. It cost him his job, and well it should have.

That was a bad move no doubt but I can also remember one of those games against the coots where we we’re just running the ball down their throats on the opening drive and then Morris ran some goofy gadget play where I believe Sammy threw the ball and it gets picked. OC’s make bad calls and make some bad decisions no doubt. Except for a few, OC’s seem to love abandoning the run. While Streeter made a bad decision I will say, my first year in my job I made a few mistakes I now wouldn’t. It happens, but I really don’t think that’s what cost him as much as the Tennessee game. Cade looked so lost at times and even though we moved the ball effortlessly we couldn’t score. Our scheme did need a refresh with its passing concepts.

I wasnt a big fan of his firing at the time. Also was a little nervous about hiring Riley. A good year against big 12 defenses is hardly proof positive. Add to that the natty performance ( or lack thereof ) didn't exactly build a ton of confidence. Say what you will Brandon was a good qb coach. I gave him 100 percent of the credit for Cole Stoudt's bowl game performance vs Oklahoma. He was hired before the bowl practices started.

no team in America hired him as a FT on the field coach which remains true to this day. Same for the other coaches fired recently and should have never been hired in the first place. I wonder who evaluates and hires these these ill prepared individuals?

We held teams to 21 points or less 9 times that year we held teams to 16 points or less 6 times that year. It wasn't the offense winning games. BVs spirit and players still lived on one extra year. We lost 3/4 games where the opposing teams scored more than 30 points. (credit to DJ in the wake forest OT game he looked absolutely incredible for that specific game)

It's the CLEMSON OFFENSE, not the Morris offense, or the Elliott & Scott offense, or the Streeter offense, or the Riley offense.........it is the Clemson Offense. It is plainly in view for all to see on the Waffle House menu and all opposing DC's know it by heart. It has not changed since 2012 and will not in the foreseeable future.

Not sure why it seems we have not introduced more, newer and imaginative plays. Not sure why Cade keeps looking at the sidelines for play calls when he has the helmet speaker. Not sure why he licks his fingers to signal to the defense that it's a pass play. Not sure why we run the 40 sec play clock down to 5 sec before we snap the ball. Not sure why we don't run at a faster pace. Not sure that we have not figured out that a faster tempo tires out the defense. Not sure that we know that not substituting on offense may not allow enough time for the opposing defense to substitute. I do not know a lot of things...but wait, that's not MY job!
