Replacing loses with known quantities is a chance to get better. Replacing them with friends and first timers is a roll of the dice. We’re beyond having to roll the dice. How many powerhouse programs use this method? Zero. How many hire successful replacements? All of them EXCEPT Dabo. I see the offensive “promote from within” as a failure. Since 2018, the offensive production has gone down. Not up. I’ll trust the newbies when they prove they can improve our team. One game against Iowa State is hardly a sample. Kinda like handing the keys to a Lamborghini to someone with a learners permit. I’d have hired Lanning as DC and bought in Joe Brady as OC. But, that makes too much sense! Why have success right away after stumbling through the ACC?! Call me whatever you’d like. I’m a realist. I love my Tigers and will pull for them even without a single win. People always forget a fan is short for fanatic. People love sports like they do their children. Some more. Having a opposing view doesn’t make someone less a fan. It makes them different. For one, I applaud differing opinions. Variety is the spice of life. We all invest time, money, and emotions supporting our teams. When you call out something wrong with a team, it doesn’t diminish your love for that team. It doesn’t make you less a fan. I dare say that’s a fan’s job. To hold their team to the highest standard. I tend to have more of a problem with the blind cheerleader. I was called a lot of names for calling for Ken Hatfield’s job. I was called a lot of names for screaming for TL16 to take KB2’s job. I guess that’s part of being a fanatic. Some will blindly follow anyone while some will point out obvious problems.
All that said, Dabo has earned a lot of leeway. Eleven 10 win seasons is about as good as it gets. Only Bammer can claim more success over that period. But, I want to see three more titles. Sooner rather than later!

I'm seriously hoping that the raiding results in a huge backfire, and it all crumble around them, with them wishing they never left Clemson. And if any ever ask to come back, I pray that Dabo tells them that there isn't a place for them at Clemson, and the reason being that they're not trust worthy at staying put where things were good for them!!!

This also has to be a negative on BV taking a job and not being comfortable at hiring his own staff, and he has to hire people that another man hired and trained. To me personally, it shows that BV accepted a job he couldn't do without transferring everybody from his previous job along with him. It also tell me that BV couldn't have been successful at doing it the same way that Dabo had to do it starting from scratch, and finding his way as he went like Dabo had to do it. With all that BV has swayed to Oklahomo, is what Dabo has built at Clemson. IMO it shows a very different BV than what we all thought that he was while at Clemson. When a man gives you the break that you really needed to help advance your career, the break that you wouldn't have gotten where you were, you don't repay them by taking what they have bc you feel incompetent in building a staff of need at the job you accepted. IMO, that's saying screw you to the one person that done the most in helping you with your career!!!

Through the DW4 years, and the Trevor Lawrence years, Clemson's offense was good enough, that we could have won everything that we've won DW4 and Trevor, we could have still won with any of the top 15 DC in the country, so I don't think what BV meant to Clemson was worth all we've lost that's followed him to Oklahomo. We know who the better friend to Dabo was, by far it was Tony!!!
