Auburn may be better than you think! We do not know at this point. Auburn has talent. They may be a top 10 team, we might even see them again in the playoffs.
Auburn may not be a good team and we may not be a good team... that is why we play the games.

Well said TigerNet News! This proves you can have a valid discussion addressing 'concerns' without being an angry, nattering naysayer of negativity!
I DO have confidence that HCDS and Co WILL address any and all 'concerns', and am content to leave the coaching to them!
(However, I still request/reserve the right to express my own opinions on occasion )!
GO TIGERS!!!

Tigs were not world beaters, at least in the final quarter vs: ND, SC, NC or Bama.

agree with the two posts above. Dabo has done well and will continue to do well but I think we need to rotate the defense as much as possible to avoid our starters tiring and to gain valuable experience for the back-ups. Dabo is the coach and makes a lot of money to handle the stress and he loves Clemson.

My concerns were different than Mickeys

I did not think this team played like they were well prepared, except for the juggernaut named Brent Venables. Offensive play-calling was, I'll be kind,...... poor; very little adjustments made during the game or at halftime. I'm not upset with the players but feel the offensive coaching staff did not earn their paycheck last week. Doesn't mean they are bad coaches or lazy but it was a painful process to watch given the elite talent this offense has at almost every position.
The other major concern is our Special Teams play. There is very little to speak of that exceeded marginal. We obviously don't have a staff that understands how to coach/develop this unit; which is baffling. It's not exactly the most difficult task in football but we seem to find a way to be well below average, other than the occasional good kicker, most years. Unlike others, I'm not confident this will change as it has been average to bad for a long, long time.
Hopefully we can get back to the Valley and start improving in all these, and other areas as needed. This is a very talented team but history is full of teams that lose that edge after a very successful year. Hopefully we don't fall into that trap and start playing Clemson football.

Mr. Plyler. We have squeaked by 4 of the past 6 games or so... to very average/even bad teams.
