Thomas and his wife are such a help to our community. Margaret does good bit Bible teaching, snd they are raising four kids who stand above the crowd just like their parents. This is a tough business. Let’s not forget how well they “bloomed where they were planted.” Pray God puts them exactly where He knows they will continue to change people’s lives.

Dude got paid $450,000/year. And I believe he had at least one more year on his contract.
I think they will survive.

Yeah because making a lot of money means you’re free from human emotions. Nobody said they thought his family was going to starve now or anything.

Rolls eyes and agrees. I see it constantly Woh far left and far right nut jobs. When they feel they are losing the debate they resort to name calling and personal attacks. I just sit in the middle and eat my popcorn

I don't think it is out of hand to point out that the guy was making big money - my empathy is like a faucet, I open it up to the extent warranted by the situation - in this case, just a little.

If you have any extra cash layin around, you'd like to get shed of and see it go for a good
cause; I'd be happy to take anything you can spare off your hands. Like I say, your money(cash preferably) would be going for a great 'cause'. Tia.

You are acting like he’s making tens of millions. It’s certainly not in the “no sympathy” because of money range yet. There’s plenty of better paid coaches on our staff.

A role model for any parent to want their son to be like. Very humble man. Something is already lined up. I don't think I've seen Dabo disown anyone.

they are well respected and well connected people of faith. I believe they will be fine though I pray for them as there is always angst and uncertainty involving this.

When you hire people you are close to it makes it harder to fire them.
Sounds like a great family. Hopefully God has a greater calling for them.

Does anyone think a change didn’t need to be made? All you had to do is look at the blocking technique on the O-line. You can’t block when you stand straight up out of your stance. It ain’t gonna happen. Our guys got whipped on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, Thomas Austin was not a good choice to begin with. This wasn’t like the Nick Eason hire. Austin did not bring the pedigree that Eason brought with him.
Believing a change had to be made doesn’t mean you don’t feel for the family. Unfortunately, as Dabo said, he has a responsibility to make changes that are in the best interest of the Clemson football program.
