If we lose Dabo it will be a bigger detriment then everyone thinks . Not every time is the grass greener on the other side . ITS OKAY TO HAVE A BAD YEAR. These are kids , these are people . Chill. Or go jump ship like most of you did when we won the first natty. DABO leaving will ruin Clemson and I am a betting man.

What is going on with things not being regulated so at least 90 percent of the college football landscape is on a fair playing field. Right now it is not.

It is not about who is just flat out good right now. Good recruits are being bought at rapid rates by programs or teams with a heck of a lot money than what we have. Not only that we seem to have a coaching problem with the others on the staff.

A bad year is one thing....but when things were already seen coming.....a lot of us are wondering why stand there and take the blow when Dabo and this Athletic Department could have side stepped the situation that was happening so we wouldn't be affected that much.

Look around.....the Big Ten and the SEC has set up the current college football landscape....and it is designed to weed out the ACC. Some of these things are out of Dabo's control.....but some of it wasn't. I do not want the man fired....but I don't want him and this program to be wasting years getting bullied and bulldozed by teams week in and week out ....by teams that we should easily beat. Our issues and struggles at this point in time is burying our success that we have to build off of.... because it will take much longer to get back to top 6 or 7 of the elites.... like we were. Why.... because we again... are not on an even playing field when it comes to money.... exposure....and conference representation. That affects recruiting more than you realize. We are not trying to end up like Eastern Kentucky or something.

…his departure would make much of a difference.

Indiana took 19 transfers last year and in 2024 lost 38 players that had to be replaced.

Again, I would love to see the price of the Indiana football player roster, that includes NIL contracts. I suspect that price is somewhere in the range of $35M. That is the kind of money competing at the national championship level will take.

Clemson is at a financial disadvantage to compete at this price. I can’t prove it. I just feel it, and I haven’t seen any proof that this is not true.

I would miss Dabo. I also miss the way the college game was structured 5 years ago. That college game is gone forever, and I have to accept that reality.

I’m drifting further and further away from caring much about Clemson football and college football in general. I suspect that by next season, I will be pretty much done with it.

I guess I need these next few months as catharsis for my closing arguments.
