playing for the ACC title, which would put them in a position to play for the national title for the 7th time in 10 years.
So many of you are so right: This program is trending in the wrong direction.

It was far, far better. Clemson fans were far, far better. The overall experience was better. The results were far worse.
It’s still awesome now but it’s not the same. Inevitable with as much success as we’ve had I suppose.

That’s what he is saying. In 2008 people were unsure about him and would have given anything to land what we have now in Dabo.

Dabo had his 5 year losing streak to S.Carolina begin in 2009 season.
That streak ended in the 2014 season, a year in which we lost (again) to GA Tech.
That Clemson AD didn’t fire Dabo prior to 2015 was because, starting with 2011 season, Dabo made big adjustments to elevate our program. The fruit of those changes wasn’t fully ripe until 2015.
Patience is a virtue.

When one has a sense of entitlement, patience is one of the first virtues to be diminished.
The college FB game is changing in ways that restrict Clemson’s ability to compete at the highest levels. Dabo is extraordinarily agile (mentally and energy-wise) in positioning Clemson FB to navigate those structural changes in CFB so that Clemson remains in a position to compete.
Our entitled fans are too impatient and emotionally driven to step back for a minute or two and contemplate what’s going on in the world of CFB.
(Hint: ‘Using the portal’ is not a thoughtful statement or piece of advice. ‘Using the portal’ is analogous to be beeching at Danta Claus to bring more and better toys.)

in the land would count making even their CONFERENCE championship 50% of the time in a four-year period as a negative trend. (Nevermind the CFP.)
Again, it goes to this idea that so many Clemson folks have lost a sense of proportion around the football program.
Nobody expects basketball to win anything. But a good number of fans not only want and expect football to win everything, but to win everything in dominating fashion. No mistakes, no bad plays, games, or play calls.

Pick that head up out the sand before you run out of air haha come on man… are we happy about the opportunity, absolutely and hope we take advantage of it… but to act like this program has not regressed big time (especially on defense) you aren’t paying attention … and if you wanna talk about trending look at recruiting for 2 seconds … again I’ll be super happy to win the acc and make the tourney but if you don’t see it “trajectory” I don’t know what to tell you… we just lost to a subpar instate rival 2 of the last 3 years , one that we had way more talent than but coaching cost us. I think a few changes in philosophy and a couple better hires and we are talking about actually competing in the playoffs… do you have any confidence that this team with a wins at can go to oh state or nd or Penn state and win a game ?!

Would I be excited and hopeful, absolutely… but to say you have actual confidence that this team could go win a game at any of those places with this offense and run defense is very funny… again doesn’t mean me included won’t be hoarse yelling for this team but those are two separate things.

If you have watched any of those teams play you would think we have a pretty dang good chance to beat any of them. Idk that confident is a word I'd use but very optimistic. I think we can beat anybody if we play like we should.

Which, if won, opens the door to play for a national title.
I thought I had appealed to the facts. The idea is to win football games. This team has won nine of them, has won more ACC games than all but one other ACC team. And after Saturday I believe this team will have won 10 (which will be another worthy milestone) games, and will have another ACC crown, and another CFP berth.
I'm confused -- did the OP lack cogency?

Tennessee had finally resumed relevant status in 2022 after a decade+ hiatus, and now they’re bragging again.
TN’s reliance on the portal puts their stability among the higher echelon at the same risk as what Jimbo Fisher had at aTm and Norvell has at FSU.

Michigan clearly was built for the moment.
Colorado I feel certain will be shown to have been built for the moment. Not that they've had much of a moment to begin with.
FSU. Poster child of "built for the moment." Goodness what a debacle.
Jimbo's Aggies were built for the moment. Also a debacle.
I am grateful that Clemson is not being built for the moment.

Dude is an outright pumper but good for him not trying to deny it and embracing it.
Deep down he knows the truth like everyone on this board no matter how much they try to say otherwise.
Even if we lose to SMU by 50 he’d be right back on here telling us how amazing it is to win 9 games and how a lot of other teams would love to be Clemson but as I said… deep down he knows.
Nobody is that stupid or blind no matter what they say to try to convince you otherwise.

Bro I don’t give a d@mn what my pulse is. Who cares about pulse?
I don’t need to find any coach. We’re stuck with an old timer that’s past his time but at the end of the day… I love CLEMSON. I don’t love Dabo and Dabo is not bigger than Clemson I don’t care what he’s accomplished.
Clemson was here long before him and will be here long after him.
If you want to ride his d*** then be my guest but don’t get mad at others for seeing and telling the truth of the state of this football program.
You think everything is fine? Ok great
But everything is not fine and even with the reality checks given by Georgia/Louisville/SC you and others still refuse to say anything at all is wrong.
You can front all you want but it doesn’t matter to me but there is no way you can’t see this program is on a downward trend… sorry I’m not buying that no matter what you say.

That's not even debatable. There plenty of actual evidence.

Our W/L record from 2021-2024 is worse even than the 2011-2014 stretch when Dabo was building the program, much less our peak from 2015-2020.
2015-2020: 79-7 (92%)
2021-2024: 39-13 (75%)
Of those ACC titles you talk about playing for, almost all of them were during our peak. When speaking of a program in decline you need to draw some kind of line establishing the peak to separate it from the decline. Including stats from our peak years to defend our performance in the last 4 years of decline makes absolutely no sense.
2015-2020: 6 ACC titles in 6 years
2021-2024: 1, perhaps 2 ACC titles in 4 years
Similar to the above, we've played for 0 national titles so far since 2020 after playing for 6 in a row. We have a chance to change that next weekend thanks to the expanded playoff. Under the 4 team playoff rules we would've likely been eliminated a month ago with the loss to Louisville.
2015-2020: 6 CFP appearances
2021-2024: 0 or 1 CFP appearances (would've been 0 under old rules)
Recruiting is also trending way down. Our blue chip ratio is falling very quickly as we take more and more fallback 3* kids. We are also landing far fewer 5* kids and those are often the ones that can be program-changing (Watson, Lawrence, Wilkins, Big Dex, Higgins, Hyatt, etc).
Clemson football hasn't fallen off the map yet, but I don't know how you can possibly argue that it isn't in decline right now.

I'm listening. That's a very complex way of saying

you think the program is in decline because the program does not win the way it used to.
And I hear you.
And so you join the chorus of others who find the Tigers of today inadequate when compared to the Tigers of recent years.
I find it a bit naive to single out a specific team and compare it to the body of work of a whole host of other teams, because football is not played in a vacuum and exists in time and space.
In other words, things change. And nothing has changed more ridiculously than college football since 2015.
Back then, it took 12-0 and a conference title to make the 4-team CFP. And Clemson rose to the occasion many of those years.
Goodie.
These days, 10-3 with a conference title will do just fine to make the CFP.
And this team may soon accomplish that.
And since winning is ultimately the point, the Tigers are winning at a .750 clip this year. I'm sorry that is not good enough for you. It is plenty good enough for me.

And yes. This program has been in decline mode since 2018.

Yeah the team that got smacked by a 2 loss Georgia. That same team that got smacked by a 4 loss Louisville at home. That same team that just lost 2 in a row at home to the cluckers of all teams.
Yeah that team.

Or you know you could just mind your business and quit telling others who they can and can’t pull for? I love people like you bc that’s all you got.
You got nothing else to say with any facts bc you can’t. You pump with the best of them don’t you bud?
How about this… I’ll keep pulling for whoever I want and not give a d@mn what you say…
Mmk pumpkin?

Got that right. Enjoy the week and get ready for the championship game. Tigers are still alive and can make the playoffs. They might get hot, catch a few breaks and make a run.
Enjoy the ride because playing for a spot in the playoffs is really awesome.
Ask the 90% of teams who aren't in this position if they would trade.

Remember the 2003 season after Wake crushed us late in the year?

Everyone was howling for Bowden’s head.
Wake had destroyed us and we had perennial Top 5 FSU and a good S.Carolina team looming … to be played at the Kook Pit.
Tigers whooped FSU, beat down the Kooks 63 - 17, and then whooped #6 Tennessee in the Peach Bowl.
It’s college football, folks. The experience factor is dynamic, in that players who play poorly early in the season often figure it out and play well late in the season.
That’s why post season games always have the potential to be special.
It’s coming. Enjoy it.

Lol got to go back to what 2003 to try to find some hope huh?
My how our standards have fallen so quickly. Now we’re comparing the HC that’s paid 11 mill a year… 2nd highest in all the land to a guy that never won more than 9 games in a season and was fired in the middle of the season after losing at WF… just smh
What a loser analogy

You wearing rose colored glasses. The trend is down from a few years back when the trend was up.

There are lies, dern lies, and statistics. And back of that are the trend lines used to visualize the statistics.
I think the point is that this team is playing for another conference title, and could still play for another national title depending on how the conference title game goes.
I had really tried to be clear in my OP. I feel like I've failed.
