David Hood , you can’t make it through even one article without taking shots at Dabo!
Not even one?
It was also a shot in called for!
Have a nice day!

No worries he’ll still keep you up with Dabo’s vacation spots this spring. Maybe even throw in a couple articles on graduation day, We R #1 there right?

David Hood is a journalist. It is not his job to pump sunshine. He called it like what the rest of us saw and questioned. I don't take it like a shot.

Dabo does make mistakes. It doesn't mean that we know it at the time. We remember when we are right and forget quickly when we disagreed and were proven wrong. David Hood's opinions are here for everyone to see, so we can look back and see when he was right and wrong, which is more than I can say for most of us.
Mr Hood is not trying to lobby to be the coach of Clemson. He knows just like you and I that just because we can see things in hindsight does not make us qualified to carry Dabo's water bottle, even when our opinions, occasionally, seem to have been better than Dabo's.

That’s not what I was talking about whether Dabo is perfect or not.
I am saying He took a little dig at Dabo that was uncalled for that’s all. I think D Hood has been very negative about the coaching staff including Dabo for a while..
Just saying what I see..

What part of that wasn't true? Is it taking a shot when he's just calling the truth? David Hood is one of the best at covering Clemson. He's not afraid to call it like it is, but also isn't the full on doom and gloom reporter either.

“During practice for the Playoff, Swinney was asked if he had considered moving a player from another position to running back (like Randall), and he immediately laughed and said the media must have lost faith in Adams, Eziomume, Haynes, and Green. Of course, it wasn’t the media that ran Mafah with a bad shoulder while those players sat on the sidelines, and one has to wonder how much trust the coaches have in those players.”
Dabo was asked a legitimate question and gave an unveiled shot of the media. Hoods response was in line with Dani’s response to the question.

Yeah, have no idea. It's not like we didn't have tons of opportunities to run. When you're up 28 points after the first quarter and pretty much know you can score at will, snaps were aplenty.

I’m going to read it again but I saw no shot at Dabo. I’m sure your opinion is welcomed here but David has been doing incredible job reporting for years and I can’t remember an article where I felt he was doing anything but being honest to a fault.
He like the rest of us has an opinion and I’m thankful he shares that at times. Please don’t send him to the NIL, he’ll be at Notre Dame or Georgia next month making twice as much.
He might be a coot but you’d never know it by his articles!
Your not one of us at Tigernet if you haven’t been called a coot a few times.
Go Tigers, and thank you David Hood for the well written article!

I appreciate your response, I stand by my assessment.
I did not claim that David Hood was a coot or that David Hood did not write informative articles.
What I said was that He took a shot at Dabo when it was in called for. Perhaps David Hood thinks Dabo was taking Shots at him or the press for asking questions I don’t know.
But I do know that Dabo can’t always answer with complete information on a team situation.
I also know that on the positive vs negative scale David Hood like many of you take the negative side more often than not. Maybe you and He think that always pointing out the faults is the best way … that’s your opinion which you have pointed out you have a right to and I also have one to mine. Now I will get called a coot and a Sunshine pumper and all manner of names the rest of the day. I still think there was no need for th quote! It added nothing to the article!
Maybe even David will call me out , that’s ok. I can handle it and I suspect He knows I am right. Hey He called me out one time many years ago over some comment He made on the stadium and I did not agree with him.
That’s ok too. Clemson wins far more than they lose at least with Dabo coaching.
Go Tigers! And I truly hope you all have a wonderful Blessed By God New Year!

That’s the best thing about Tigernet we can express our opinions and still respect each other. Getting called a coot is a badge of honor at this point!
Dabo is a great overall coach but is imperfect like the rest of us he makes obvious mistakes but has won at an incredible amount of games that count.
When we play the Hens it seems his decisions are worse, probably because of the pressure. I think it’s easy to overthink strategy when you have so much on the line.
David & Dabo make big dollars to make those decisions, it must be nice.🤣😂
Can’t imagine making that kind of money, $211,538 a week, 30,000+ a day.
Imagine being 18 years old & making that kind of money. I’m sure a bunch of teams would love to have Dabo as their coach and they’d pay him more.
Happy New Year to you and yours too! It’s going to be exciting the next couple of months for sure politically.

I'm not going to lie, I thought we were overusing Mafah as that shoulder got worse. I don't know if we were shooting him up to help manage the pain before the game, but it did kind of bother me watching him bending over on the sidelines in pain almost every time he came out.
I'm sure the doctors probably told the coaches he couldn't hurt it any worse but I did feel bad for him on those times where he really looked like it was bothering him, which seemed like most of the time late in the season.

Let’s dare not speak anything that consistently happens and only sing his praises. I, along with many, am glad we won the conference and made the final 12. Let’s also wonder about all the practice hype he always speaks of that doesn’t translate to the field. This is more prevalent in a time of need as was this yr.

Because of you. Message boards may not be your thing if you are going to call out legitimate points in articles and responses to subsequent posts. Also, it is uncalled for and not in called for since you are so critical of facts. I will venture to say the vast majority of people on here are not and don’t want to become satisfied with this seasons end but the level of anyone’s satisfaction really had nothing to do with the article or responses to it. Both were just pointing out facts that still exists regardless of this or any seasons record

Blah blah blah… yeah I know best is the standard and you deserve a championship every year …
I hear it all ,, all of the time.
And my point was very pertinent to the article.
David brought up a subject from weeks prior that has nothing to do with the RB position going forward because He disagreed with the way Dabo handled the RB’s and the team last year..
And your response of thanks Old Man just lets me know what kind of person you are!
Yes you should do some self reflection!

Don’t think a shot was taken at Dabo at all. I still have yet to see your point supported but oh well. Some will be dissatisfied with a conf championship(your words) and some will persist with taking facts and spinning them as though they are attacks on our coach and there are actually attacks against him all over this board unlike your fabricated attack

1965, I disagree with your assessment, but I guess stick to your guns. Nobody on this board has been ridiculed for their opinion more than Judge Keller, and in my opinion, Brad Brownell is proving him right. Ironically, I think that a lot of it has to do with his handling of NIL and the transfer portal.
In seriousness, David Hood and the rest of us are just voicing an opinion. There certainly is no ill will towards Dabo by any true Clemson fan. We will be right sometimes and wrong sometimes, and that includes you and Dabo. I was wrong in my opinion when we hired Dabo (very wrong because I thought that we should have pursued Lane Kiffin). I have changed my opinion on Brad Brownell. And I very well might be wrong in my agreement with DH that Dabo made mistakes with how he handled the RB's last year when it comes to the future. If you have a problem with anyone that has an opinion contrary to you then you will be living in a very small world.

Well Thanks for the response.
I have no issue with people having opinions .
Having opinions different from mine I have no issue.
When people act like they no more than coaches and they don’t have all the information the coaches do that’s an issue for me..
I don’t even have an issue if Dabo says Wes Goodwin has to go or that CJ has to go..
Dabo has a proven track record.. the people who holler that we should be in the Natty every year are just unrealistic!
The people who think That Dabo should go all Portal all the time are wrong in my opinion!
David Hood must have felt slighted by the way Dabo answered or dismissed His question so He held on to it and used it as a dig as soon as He could.
I think that’s a pattern.
It’s not the end of the world and it’s not even important in my world but I do think my assessment is correct.. Happy Nee Year!

achieved by someone who wants to call themselves a journalist.
In my opinion, Hood is very positive overall with his coverage of the Clemson Tigers. I enjoy the balance he tries to strike. And I think if you find him too negative, you need to stick to a few absolutely unshakable posters on here and just read their "fan" takes.

I'm kinda shocked none of those RBs have hit the portal but I'd guess at least one will leave in the spring. Why stay if they can't get on the field to the point we'd rather convert a senior WR to play their position instead of them?

That’s why Dabo hasn’t sold out on the portal, that’s exactly what happens, guys move on when they don’t see an opportunity.
It’s a fine line when you do and don’t use the portal or you have no loyalty like FSU(no loyalty at all) had after their undefeated regular season.
Remember when FSU was supposed to win the ACC Championship & the National Championship by the preseason voters.
The portal wheels came off as they were fighting to leave the conference.

in Louisville beatdown, Dabo and OC showed no confidence in the development of other RB's this past season. Maybe due to Haynes injury. But anyway, a lot to be optimistic about with Davidson, Eziomume and Haynes if he can recover. Some RB speed in space in 2025 could be a game changer.

Im excited to see Davidson. I said prior to the start of this season that he and EZ would be a great 1-2 punch at RB in 2025 and I stand by that remark even in the absence of EZ not getting as many touches as I hoped.
It's been a while since we've had a top 3 back ( 247 ) around here.
Ship was highly rated but was an APB.
Hopefully Mafah recovers significantly to give the NFL scouts a good show and land somewhere in the big show.
He's already showed his grit while all the time not showing frustration with the staff that may or may not have overused him.

Randall is a bruiser, he can catch and run the ball with some smooth moves!! Id definitley give him a shot at running back..

Gideon Davidson and Marquise Henderson are dogs, we're fine. Add Jay Haynes into that and I don't really see where we could fit a transfer in. They're not coming to Clemson to ride the bench.

Kinda lazy to not even mention Henderson in this article. I agree he is a stud. And will very much be in the mix to earn significant snaps if not the starting role even.

Haynes had a good day against the Citidel, but the ACCN tweeted he had 186 yards. I guess they really don't watch our games. He had 118. Even if you add his kick return that's 133. Do they not have editors or people that know stats?

After thinking about it, I'm guessing that was his season totals through that game. Still some correct grammar from the ACCN would be nice.
