I Don't Think Dabo Is The Problem

I do believe that our playbook is a bit dated and once people know what to expect, then you're going to be a train wreck on offense. I believe that the playbook should be scrapped and revised every 3 years or so. That allows a recruiting class to receive a playbook install and perfect those plays drawn up in said playbook. Once they graduate, you change and redraft a whole new playbook that conforms to the strength of your team. I noticed that DJU was a pocket passer or pro-style QB, but they tried turning him into a dual threat QB. It was a train wreck. I am 100% convinced that the playbook is a real problem.
While I have seen flashes of great play from the offense, they're a team that has had 3 years of development and we shouldn't be seeing flashes of greatness. We should be seeing greatness in general.

I think he just contradicted himself and said Dabo is the problem.

Dabo is absolutely the problem. It starts at the top and on him to fix. Dude, you are a Marine. What’s with this looser mentality you have? I am NEVER happy at loosing and I never will be.

I get it, he's the man that sits in the chair. He is responsible for the direction of the program. What I'm referring to is that ultra vanilla and very predictable playbook. Of course, he is the man responsible for fixing this issue. I say that he should have it fixed by the end of the next season or you have to find someone else to lead the program.

Lots of changes in the past five years and there has been no improvement. Who is the constant? Look at Cade’s comments after the game. That’ll tell you everything we need to know about the mentality of this team and who is communicating that lack of passion to them

He is the head coach. Now 2 consecutive offensive coordinator have struggled. It's a Dabo problem.

Given your thoughts; is that happening, and whose job is it to make sure that happens?
Answer those questions and then rethink if it’s Dabo’s fault.

Sadly, he is. He is the CEO of an under performing business and has been for years now. Some of us need to determine of they are "Dabo first" or Clemson Football first" fans.

So the fact that there are problems with at a minimum the play calling for the last 5 years as you have stated and nothing has been done to fix it is somehow the problem of someone other than the person in charge of the program? Please expound

Dabo's Problem Is Not Worth $60Million In A Buyout.
Sep 14, 2025, 9:17 AM
|
|
If Clemson does fire him, it would be very costly, and Clemson wouldn't sniff the playoff for decades to come. I believe that Dabo can fix the issues, and it starts with Coaching Hires. I believe that the following coaches need to be replaced...
Tyler Grisham
CJ Spiller
Garrett Riley
They need to find somewhere else to work. We need a better running back coach and wide receiver's coach. We also need a better offensive coordinator for sure. With Tom Allen being able to recruit and hopefully have the Matt Luke effect, then I believe Clemson will rebound from this funk we're all going through.

Here are some head coaches that could potentially replace Dabo Swinney at Clemson:
Brent Venables: Currently the head coach at Oklahoma, Venables has a strong defensive background and is a key figure in Clemson's history.
Lane Kiffin: The head coach at Ole Miss, Kiffin is known for his offensive prowess and could bring a fresh dynamic to Clemson.
Jon Sumrall: The head coach at Tulane, Sumrall has a strong record and is recognized as one of the rising stars in college football.
Deion Sanders: The head coach at Colorado, Sanders brings star power and a strong connection to Clemson's faith-based values.
Alex Golesh: The head coach at South Florida, Golesh is known for his high-tempo offense and could modernize Clemson's program.
These candidates would bring unique strengths and could potentially reshape Clemson's football program. Well according to CoPilot anyway.

On top of the plays, the teams we play want to end years of losing against us, have more talent now and play their hearts out. That is football 2025.

No offense, but you know he’s the problem. Doesn’t mean he should get fired, but that changes need to be continued to be made. I say continue because he has already implemented some, just far too late and too
little. We are literally playing the modern game with one hand tied behind our back; and we are doing it on purpose for no reason.
He’s the one who hires all the coaches; approves of every kid we offer; approved every internal staff hire. It all runs through him.
If we just lost the Georgia Tech and it was a one off or a pretty rare occurrence then OK that happens to everybody. The trend is undeniable. It cannot be refuted. IMO… we are a good ways away from ever having to think about firing him, but he needs to get going here to accelerate needed changes. Again, he has done some; but, not nearly enough and not nearly fast enough.

It's called "The Clemson Offense" and it will be here until you-know-who leaves. Of the great coaches in my lifetime, only Bear Bryant and Nick Saban totally changed their offensive approach during their careers. Clemson has not.......yet.

The buck stops with the head coach. Dabo wants harmony and minimum conflict. He can’t stay on top and be elite when other teams have changed their strategies with using the portal. Dabo’s metrics are dismal right now. The season’s goals are impossible to achieve with two losses. New recruits will start to drop their visits to Clemson because their future as an NFL player is in jeopardy if they come to Clemson. One more loss and the big Clemson donors will be after his job.
