Quadratic functions are specific mathematical models used to describe curvilinear relationships, often forming U-shaped or inverted U-shaped curves, while statistics is a broader field focused on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data, encompassing various techniques and models, including both linear and nonlinear relationships between variables. Depending on the context and data, one may choose to use quadratic functions or statistical methods to model and analyze relationships.

Re: But this isn't statistics. It's modeling with functions.


Nov 1, 2023, 7:23 PM

Modeling with Quadratic Functions:

Quadratic functions are mathematical functions represented by equations like f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where "a," "b," and "c" are constants.
When you model with quadratic functions, you are explicitly choosing to represent a relationship between variables using a quadratic equation. This approach is deterministic and prescriptive; you decide to use a quadratic form based on your understanding of the underlying process or theory.
Quadratic functions are versatile and can be used in various applications, including physics, engineering, economics, and more, to describe phenomena with a parabolic shape.

Quadratic Regression:

Quadratic regression is a statistical technique used to find the best-fitting quadratic equation for a given set of data points. It falls under the broader category of nonlinear regression.
In quadratic regression, the goal is to identify the quadratic equation that best describes the relationship between the dependent and independent variables within your dataset. Unlike modeling with quadratic functions, quadratic regression doesn't start with a predetermined quadratic form; instead, it uses statistical methods to determine the best-fitting quadratic equation based on the data.
Quadratic regression is particularly useful when you have data that suggests a quadratic relationship but want to objectively determine the coefficients (a, b, c) that provide the best fit to the data points.

Modeling with quadratic functions involves explicitly choosing a quadratic equation to represent a relationship, often based on theoretical or domain knowledge. In contrast, quadratic regression is a statistical technique that determines the best-fitting quadratic equation for a set of data points, allowing you to objectively capture the underlying relationship in the data. Quadratic regression is a valuable tool when you want to uncover the quadratic pattern in your data without preconceived notions about the functional form.

He replied a full day later basically arguing that the “trend line” literally baked into the software doesn’t meet his definition of a trend line. It’s not worth further debate. I gave my source. The data is apparent. He could easily model whatever way he wants but he didn’t. Because, if you start in 2009 and in 2023 it isn’t the massive downward slope that he and the OP wish it would be. What posted is the exact win percentage by year with the Excel generated “trend line” superimposed. I didn’t draw it. I didn't manipulate it. It is precisely what it is.

Its an accurate trend line for the tenure of Swinney.

Nov 1, 2023, 9:27 AM [ in reply to Almost a line with zero slope linearly but best fit wise it's .... ]

The team has finished 14th and 15th, at 0.500 right now, and Dabo is still the 2nd winningest coach behind Nick Saban - during his tenure, since 2011, and in the CFP era.

A couple no-playoff seasons don’t change the man’s overall trend. I mean heck, if the OP wants to manipulate trends, then why not just plot since 2016 or something? At least have the wherewithal to manipulate the stats to full effect.

We OBVIOUSLY haven’t been where we were. We had two seasons of the DJU era, and a handcuffed QB situation. And now we have a QB who is tasked with about 50% of the offense and still can’t process it consistently. There are literally open guys on nearly every passing play, and Cade just isn’t seeing his options. Then of course he’s still making “freshman” mistakes, along with him and RBs putting the ball on the ground. That’s the story of the season.

But, these are legitimate issues which have kept us from being in the playoffs. Not that Dabo is slipping in his coaching practices.

And no, we haven’t lost a single game ever because we don’t have a bunch of magic portal guys or smaller NILs. Unless you’re talking about sitting a starter for a new QB, then the last 2.7 seasons have gone as they did for OBVIOUS reasons - none of which have anything to do with a portal or NIL.

I wouldn’t put 2008 on because he was an interim coach. You’re deliberately misrepresenting the data. He has been full time coach since 2009. The trend of his tenure does not say what you want it to. Him discussing the 10 season win streak and its significant does not somehow negate what it took to accomplish that. But it doesn’t tell the story you WANT to tell.

Re: Sure but it didn't have to happen now and shouldn't have


Oct 31, 2023, 1:26 PM

It kinda is. I've mentioned several times we have lost several recruiting advantages that we had in the past. Plus, we have Kirby Smart and Mack Brown coaching in our two neighboring states, which eats into our recruiting.

Bottom line, using the transfer portal and firing the staff aren't the guaranteed fixes that you think they are. There are just as many "portal" teams that aren’t having success as the ones that are. You still have to recruit players, even the ones you get from the portal. You don't just get to choose them like you are ordering from a menu.

There are some good players coming in from the recruiting class next year, and hopefully that will address some of the problems we have, particularly at receiver.

Re: Sure but it didn't have to happen now and shouldn't have


Nov 1, 2023, 9:15 AM

Yes, recruiting has been an issue. We simply do not have the talent at wide receiver that we used to have.

That is a significant issue for us, because receivers have basically been the lifeblood of our program. In the two national championship games against Alabama, we failed to rush for 100 yards either time. We simply would not have won those games without elite receivers.

Well, now we don't have elite receivers, and you see the result.

it is even harder to maintain that level.

See: history

Very few teams had the run of our Clemson Tigers, however to your point this has trended downward for several years now.

What comes next is vital to either staying mediocre or climbing back up that ladder.

I do not see Coach Dabo as the staying mediocre type! His angst recently with callers/analyst shows his level of care. Yes he should understand criticism is part of his position and he should not even listen to all the talk but after such success he needs to find that humility again. Stay calm and let this flow right over you, no need to lend credence to all the chatter.

Oct 31, 2023, 1:08 PM

The question is, is he willing to adapt to those things in the modern game that have resulted in this trend. Last season I wasn't sure if he was willing to fire a "Clemson Man". He did. Now we've got to see if he's willing to fire one (or more) of his former players. And if he's willing to recruit the portal to fix the depth and competition issues on this roster.

No, elite means ability. You are too much of a stats guy.

Mike Williams is an elite receiver. That's why he's in the NFL. But he's not elite because of development. He is elite because of his size and vertical ability. You can't develop those things. You either have them or you don't.

Evaluation isn't the problem. These current receivers are simply the best we could get at the time.

Again, you can't just throw a list of recruiting rankings at me. You have to evaluate the physical skills of each player. We simply don't have receivers who are fast enough to stretch the defense, or receivers wirh the vertical ability to win jump balls. That's the problem.

Nov 1, 2023, 9:16 AM

Your “trend” is distorted data.

Dabo Sweeney is the 2nd winningest head coach since 2011 and during his tenure, in spite of “only” finishing 14th and 15th the last two seasons. Who knows where we finish this year, but we’ll go as our development QB goes. That and until we stop giving points away with turnovers.

With a mature QB and less catastrophic turnovers, we would be undefeated. I’m sure some will want to argue that, but that’s the bottom line of where we are right now.

Can the OL do better? Much better? Yes, they need to. But the most critical issues on the team are a QB who isn’t ready for the full offensive package and catastrophic turnovers being the bulk of point differentials.
