Would love to have heard the discussion in the game planning no room this week

The first half was a disaster. How many times do you have to get Rob Spence on the phone to understand bubble screens, tunnel screens and wide sweeping runs from reversing wide receivers do not work against a fast intelligent team. After about the 10th time-wouldn’t you kinda figure that out. Player preparedness—-how can you be prepared for a total misdiagnosis with not much ability to think on your feet. Cade has got to be hurting . Played his heart out with a ###### written by first graders and then got sacrificed on several occasions—as a coach I would think SHAME would be resting heavy on my shoulders for abusing the kid. MAFAH IS A MAN! He ran hard even with there were no holes. 6 guys can’t block 9 on a run play. Receivers can’t get open long when 2 deep safeties are parked and waiting.

Overall, there was plenty of effort from the team. They just were not coached-especially on defense-to even know where to go. CHOP blocks are illegal my ACC officiating friends. Their cut blocks were as close as you can get to chops as I’ve ever seen. Neutralize a superior athlete by taking out his knees. Even with that, there are schemes around a line who -tackle to tackle-dive at opposing players knees.

Offense-a lot of money for plays which were not as good as ones drawn on playgrounds with sticks at recess

…and exactly WHO is in charge of blocking assignments on extra points and FGs??

Overall, for a lifetime fan,- a frustrating, humiliating and embarrassing display of a team from coaching that was clueless. Change 2 or 3 things from expectations and the 5 five plays for the night do not work

There seems to be way too much diversion of our coaching staff from game planning. Louisville made a very intelligent game plan and executed. We figured throwing balls to the sidelines because the safeties were back but their fast linebackers were up was somehow going to work and that MAFAH the man could run through a hole that was not there.

However despite all this embarrassment, the worst think was when trashy red neck people started to throw water bottles on the field
. You want to do that stay home and play cornhole at the Columbia SC trailer park recreational facilities.

This isn’t new. I love Dabo, will support him as long as he wants to be at Clemson, but we do NOT play to the standard every week and never really have. Even Pitt in 2016. Syracuse in 2018. There’s always a couple of games every season where we come out flat and play down to the competition. The only years we’ve overcome it have been when we have strong senior leadership on the field (Boulware, Wilkins). The coaching staff has not managed to crack how to get these kids to care every single week; it’s the hardest part about winning in CFB but the best manage to do it.

I didn’t see what Coach saw last night. I saw an apathetic and unfocused group missing assignment after assignment and getting out-hustled and outmuscled at every turn. To look like that out of a bye makes me think they’d drunk their own kool-aide more than a little. Say what you will about Saban, but that’s why he coached the way he coached; rigid and unflinching attention to detail and pride in execution is how to maintain a standard.

He outcoached himself.
