I get it that Dabo can’t completely trash himself and the other coaches for doing a lousy job. Part of what Dabo must always do is to create a sense of confidence in recruits that the coaches know what they’re doing.

That said, Dabo’s ‘I’m to blame’ schtick needs some updating.

His comments about poor coaching were thinly veiled shots at the players. Blaming the FG failures on players who couldn’t / didn’t block as only being because P.Woods was unavailable … again, as part of his ‘blame it on me’ talk … neglects to admit that the coaching staff hasn’t practiced FG unit blocking with any evaluations of backup blockers -or- without any / enough ‘live fire’ top talent FG defensive players to rush the FG blockers.

This is akin to the coach saying ‘it’s my fault that the players are soft and play stupid.’ In other words, fake criticism of himself and the coaches and fake ‘don’t blame the players’ magnamity towards them while simultaneously shooting arrows at them.

This press conference tactic was repeated for other aspects which contributed mightily towards last night’s loss. The bad clock management explanation was deflected by blaming circumstances such as the 4th and 0.5 yard -or-4th and 1.5 yard confusion; also with the generalized statement that ‘we didn’t play with urgency’ as an easy way out for admitting that our coaches had neither prepared themselves nor the players about how to properly run hurry-up offense.

Dabo can do better than this type of press conference. We should all hope he gets a new way of conducting them in a new, better way.

TOTALY EMBARRASING A$$ WHOPPING!!!! SO, DABO, you had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and you bring these boys out to play and they get their jock straps shoved down their throats!! and then on top of it all, the entire team says they just weren't ready to play!! I just don't get it, you and your coaching staff saw what was happening and no adjustments, no nothing!! TOTALLY UNACCEPABLE!!

And to top it all off CK makes a statement he can make any throw he wants to make!!! When I read that article before the game I just shook my head wondering how this was going to play out!! Well I got my answer a few hours later??

Louisville was the first non high school team you've played since the Bull Dogs and your team wasn't even close to playing Louisville or at a high level needed to complete with the top 10 teams in the country.

I'm sure Clemson will continue to have future winning seasons but its gonnnnna be a good while before you'll get past an average post season bowl game.

WOW!! what an embarrassing loss!!
