'Best is the standard' is a silly slogan. Doesn't win games.

Best - adj - Surpassing all others in excellence, achievement, or quality


Well if you are the BEST, by definition you will win every game.

I guess we will just disagree. The slogans are just part and parcel to who he is, and how he motivates players. Seems to be working. As for Butch Jones, 84-64. with 2 conference titles, Dabo has as many NCs. So will you at least concede Dabo is better at it ?

can you provide any evidence that saying All IN or Best is the Standard or We Too Deep helps to win games.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes.


Jan 26, 2019, 9:35 PM

Before we started using those slogans, we had 1 NC. Since we started using them, we have 2.

Actually it's a huge help. It adds to the clemson identity and helps give an identity when recruiting. It's similar to trumps Make America Great again Slogan. It's easy to remember and is easily quoutably. It helps stick in young kids minds.

You sir don’t understand big picture. All in, BYOG, ain’t Clemson rant... it’s all slogans and it’s all specifically scripted one liners to build our program. Dabo is the master communicator and motivator and everything he does has a purpose. The man understands 5 moves ahead on how change culture of a program. I don’t care what level of tactician you are... if you don’t change culture you fail. Dabo has it and BB does not. He needs to figure out what culture he wants in a program.

those slogans didn't prevent him from getting blown out by West Virginia or losing 5 in a row to SC or allowing a team to catch its own kick in the 4th quarter of a natty.

The slogans didn’t but the recruits listening and being all in did. Pay attention... that was a slogan that resonated with high school kids that signed to play for Dabo because they believe in him. Yes we had success in the past in football but under Bowden our program wasn’t great. It was supported financially and we were chasing others ideas. Dabo changed that and sold it to everyone that would listen. He changed the program with his leadership and his slogans brought the players that dominated the college football world. So yes... in a way his slogans absolutely solved the WVU beatdown and the 5 peat.

I guess I’ll give you a slogan with empty meaning isn’t much. When Dabo speaks he means it and the slogans drive the culture.

Clemson grit seems to be surface level that lacks any transformation value to the program. Real slogans that define who you are draw kids in. Basketball doesn’t draw anyone in. Go find a coach who can inflict change.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 26, 2019, 10:40 PM

You seem to think a slogan only has meaning if the coach then wins national titles. lol

I note that you haven't address my points about the differences b/t basketball recruiting and football recruiting. Southern colleges have a huge advantage in football recuriting that doesn't exist in basketball recruiting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 26, 2019, 10:53 PM

Ya I mean barely any schools in the southeast have good teams and recruit well. Do you consider tobacco road southeast?

Face it.. the hurdles to recruiting come from a coach that has nothing to sell to recruits. Zion, Luke Maye, Josiah, etc... all know to go to a bigger program bc they know at Clemson you won’t make it. Just glad our southern geography slows down teams like Clemson, Duke, UNC, NC State, Fl State, Kentucky, etc...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 26, 2019, 11:01 PM

FSU hasn't done much in college basketball.

NC State had some good years in the past but they've been middle of the pack like Clemson for a long time. Clemson beat them 20 last year and Brownell is about .500 against NCSU.

Duke and UNC and Kentucky are the exceptions. I don't really consider Kentucky the south.

Florida has won 2 titles in basketball but it has struggled in recent years.

You've never noticed the SEC is generally not as good in basketball as it is football?

G Tech is right in the heart of downtown ATL which seems like it would help in recruiting basketball players but Brownell has owned G Tech.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 26, 2019, 11:23 PM

SEC is just as good in basketball as football with the exception of the perceived media bias. The south attracts just as much basketball talent as anywhere. We didn’t even mention Tenn who is #1 in the country.

I’m not sure where you break your geography but Kentucky, Tenn, and Vandy are all southern schools who have had recent success. Truth is Clemson searches for excuses instead of just admitting we need direction.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 27, 2019, 3:10 AM

tenn is not a legit no. 1 in the country as you will find out soon.

National title winners in basketball the past 25 years include Cuse, Nova, Uconn, etc, programs that haven't done much in football.

it is funny to me that people can't admit that Clemson has a natural advantage in football recruiting compared to basketball recruiting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Best is the Standard....


Jan 27, 2019, 5:25 AM

That natural advantage is Dabo with all of his sayings. I am not going to say that he was the first to transfer All In from poker terminology to a particular mindset, but he is the first that I remember. Now you are likely to hear it in reference to anything.

What you seem to miss is that it is not Dabo that pushes certain sayings. They are things that happen to stick with people and resonate with them. They become slogans because others identify with them and repeat them. In this day and time with social media taglines and #'s little snipits dominate society from Me Too to Build the Wall. I don't know if it was intentional or an accident but Dabo was way ahead of the curve.


I understand your argument of a geographic advantage, but I would have to ask how we managed to become arguably the Best program in college football with Alabama being the only other team in the conversation? There are at least a couple of dozen schools with an advantage over us and a couple of dozen more on equal footing. The Florida schools should all be dominating under your argument.


We are at a disadvantage with our basketball program, but it is simply due to history, and there are people out there that can change that. I think that Coach Brownell is a good coach, but I don't think that he will ever be a great coach which brings me back to the original topic of the post. I think that last years team was an aberration as I think this years team is. I think under Brownell that we will fall in the middle of the league 6 out of 10 years, with a couple towards the top and a couple towards the bottom.


I will put my take on the post a little different way. Would you rather take a chance on getting worse in an attempt to be better or would you rather be mediocre most of the time with a good year now and then? Personally, I would rather take the chance, but I think we stand as good of a chance at downgrading at coach as upgrading.

I do think that a dynamic new coach can flip the ###### like Dabo did. Though we cared more about football, we were a middle of the road program. If you want a basketball comparison, then look at Duke before Coach K. They had a good year or 2 under Foster I think, but they were not the power house until Coach K got there. Regardless, of other things the coach is the most controllable aspect to recruiting. Are we likely to find one of those people? Honestly, on the first try, probably not with what we would spend, but I think it is even less likely that Coach Brownell transforms into that person. Therefore, are you satisfied?

Dabo's never had the challenge of Clemson basketball because Clemson football had been good in the past and had won a national title.

Expecting basketball recruiting to be as easy as football recruiting at Clemson is silly. Clemson is located in the heart of great recruiting region for football and it is a warm climate which attracts some kids from up north.
