It's going to be a hard pill to swallow people, but at this point if you factor in the recruiting level vs the product on the field it would be pretty hard to argue right now that we are not the worst team in the nation. Need to make some very tough decisions going forward

Easy now. The South Carolina Gamecocks still exist.

I'm not calling for Frost's head. I support Frost. But obviously some staff changes need to be made.

That's fair. May need to open up the wallet for some new coordinators.

You'd be surprised. Money talks.

If Nebraska calls, someone else will too. Unless y'all show that y'all can stick with a coach for more than 4 years, nobody's coming.

2nd half feels like make/break for the season 

Lol, geez guys. Make it to Week 1 before writing off the season. It's Week 0 for goodness sake. 

Why does Scott Frost look like a mini-Brock Lesnar?

Well s#!t guys. I got nothing for you.

Okay. I'm sorry, but Adrian can't throw for s#!t

Maybe you should give Lilly a try, Alexa.

The backups are horrible too 

So you're agreeing with me...

Didn’t esptein commit suicide in prison? Why is he still playing football.

Epstein didn't kill himself.

The real issue isn't your quarterback...it's that no one has been able to beat out this quarterback, IMO.

BTW, looking forward to my trip to Lincoln once the Alliance starts playing each other & Clemson draws Nebraska.

Really feel bad for this Epstein guy.

And they won't be penalized one bit by the CFP committee, even with 1 loss. 

Disagree. If we lose to UGA, then it won't matter in their eyes, but any other loss (other than a potential ACC Champ loss to UNC or Miami if they're ranked high) will penalize us. We've been fortunate in the past to have other teams losing when we did.

Committed to Clemson today

Eh, nice try.  Now they're getting paid AND getting NIL money.  You can try to spin it differently but it's not going to work.

 

And of course he supports NIL now.  Anyone would be stupid not to.

He never opposed NIL, he opposed “professionalizing” college football. He doesn’t want bidding wars between schools for recruits, he doesn’t want to have a salary cap, he wants there to be student athletes instead of athletes that don’t have to attend class, and are just there to be athletes. 
 

This quote was from 2014, when NIL was barely even heard of...he’s never opposed NIL. Don’t try to make it something it’s not. You’re smarter than that, Mav.

We'll see if the attitude has changed in two years...

 

 

Lots of people taking this out of context. Wasn’t even about NIL, which he supports.

Wisky picked up their next real good back. Chins gonna earn his money 

Really liked Mellusi, hated to see him leave but understood why he did it.

DJ’s (and Matayo’s) dad is one of Clemson’s best recruiters...lol

“Portal watcher”????

 

Sounds like a job that includes calling high school coaches and extended family members to see who to go after.

 

Clemson is just one of dozens doing this.  It stinks...

 IMO, he’s an older coach who was probably thinking about transitioning to an off field role anyway, and that combined with Spiller wanting to get into coaching, they made the move.

Have Alabama and Clemson poached that many players from the portal so far? They recruit classes full of 4 and 5 stars its not like they're going to have room or the holes in their roster where they're taking that many players from the portal. 

Clemson hasn’t gotten anyone big, yet...although they’re looking to change that.

After losing to LSU with Burrow & OSU with Fields & Sermon, they moved the former TE coach to a portal watcher, so to speak. They moved the RBs coach to TEs, and brought in CJ Spiller to coach the RBs.

I am guessing if I lived in in South Carolina I would never go to Clemson unless it was for a game.  Probably the same if I lived in Bama and Mississippi.

Accurate. It’s as college town as they come. 3,500-ish when schools out...30k when it’s in.

Love the place, but it’s nothing without the school. I hear that pays dividends in recruiting, though, because they can sell parents on the lack of trouble around.

Decommitted from Clemson today. The coaches offered a new DE, so I think Clemson’s out with him. Dabo & crew don’t really deal with decommits, so that doesn’t surprise me. 
 

Clemson’s first decommit since 2014.

So why doesn't Georgia dominate the recruiting of their home state and crush the rest of the SEC under their stubby bulldog legs? 

 

Refusing to recruit Deshaun Watson may be part of it..
