Welcome to r/ClemsonTigers!

Pretty self explanatory. If you get 1 fg blocked in a season, it happens now and then. 2, let alone same game? Okay. There’s definitely an issue. No excuse not to fix it by the next week. Shouldn’t happen again. But multiple games with multiple blocks? Inexcusable. You can’t tell me Clemson has less talent to put out there to block than over 100 other teams… If even the Citadel is able to get a fg blocked, then it is 1000% coaching. And considering that that there is only one play you’re running 99% of the time, it’s not like a player can make a mental error. It’s purely a lack of teaching the fundamentals of how to block for a field goal. If we fire anyone on this staff, special teams coach has to be the first to go.

So I’m trying to go to the game but don’t want to waste money on Ticketmasters crazy fees. Besides Tigernet, is there a place that I can buy tickets from Miami fans posting to sell? Like a Tigernet version for their team?

He's having his best season but that might be because of our awesome freshman WRs. He still makes mistakes and has too many overthrows to open receivers. Does anyone feel the same confidence with him under center that you felt with Watson and Lawrence? Unfortunately, Klubnik's played well enough to be the starter next year, but not well enough to declare for the draft. So we've got one more year of this. Our best hope next year is Dabo will stop imposing his dated offensive schemes on Riley and let the man work.

Is that an official group or club? Or just some friends who organize it?

DANGER WARNING ⚠️:

New-looking red sedan on OLD CENTRAL RD. (Clemson) has been parking in the middle of the road (blocking both lanes) and starting fights with other drivers. The driver (black male, early 20's) just PULLED A GUN on someone at around 3:30 am this morning and drove into Lindsay road. Cops were notified.

Apparently this has been happening fairly frequently by this same individual. This activity appears to be *gang-related. Please do be careful.

If your kids go to Clemson University pay particular attention. Again, suspect is a black male in his early twenties, he may be an alumni.

Here you can discuss anything with your fellow tigers!

Get over the loss and move on. We have a big game Saturday and a real chance to make the CFP. Did today suck? Yeah, really bad, but it’s not 1995 when we were playing for a bowl berth there is more to play for now. Go Tigers!

Syracuse definitely carried us

There is a glimmer of hope in Tiger Town tonight!

Woohoo

Correct? Am I crazy? Syracuse won. So that puts us in?

Didn't see that coming! What's our chances vs SMU?

SYRACUSE SO REAL FOR THAT 😭

(1) Win the opener

(2) Make the ACC title game

(3) Win the state

(4) Win the ACC

(5) Win the closer

I don’t believe Dabo should be fired, like some of the more extreme fans here. But I do think he could use some humbling against his own standard: 0-2 so far, and 0-4 if Miami beats Syracuse.

Professionally if anyone (college coach or otherwise) didn’t hit ANY of the year’s goals for defined success, that necessitates change.

Hopefully Miami falls to Syracuse and we have a chance to play more football. But if not, Dabo’s own blueprint says stark change is needed.

I don’t know if Mafah is hurt, slow, checked out, or all of the above but Jay needs to be on the field more than Mafah in whatever game/s we have left.

Is Dabo perfect no. Do the losses hurt. Yes.

That’s being said if you think Dabo needs to be fired take a hard look at what Clemson football has been for its history. The man dominated the sport in ways only Saban has done for a decade.

And then the whole sport turned upside down the NIL and the transfer portal. Now that the dust is settling he is by far the most qualified person to lead the tigers in this new era.

Have some patience and faith in the man who has proven he can do it. He brought more success to the program than many realistic fans thought was impossible.

He is constantly in the top 15, competes for ACC championships, runs a clean program with a high graduate rate and the love of his players. That’s all you can ask for.

And if you want more it’s because of the success Dabo brought changed the standard.

EDIT:

To address the most common responses.

Yes NIL and transfer is holding us back but I think now that they can pay players directly Dabo will be able to bring in the talent we were before.

Yes the coordinators need to do better but any serious hire needs to be given at least 4 years. I would like to see Grisham go but the freshman WR look a lot better and Dabo made a huge upgrade on OL by firing Austin and being in Mat Luke.

Goodwin has been generally good and the scores reflect that. With few exceptions, we just got spoiled with the GOAT Coach V for ten years.

I’d you think we should win the ACC every year then great but that’s impossible and the fact that we brush aside championships is a credit to Dabo.

Lastly, imagine being the top 2 in your field for over a decade and the after 3 plus years of simply above average performance your boss told you to move it along. Go find me a program that is seriously happy with their coach. Parity is the new name of the game and it’s now survive and advance all year long. No one will ever dominate like Bama and Saban did again

I’ll get downvoted into oblivion but I don’t care - Dabo is the problem with Clemson football. We’re not at the point anymore where incremental changes are enough to fix the problems.

Defense has gotten worse every year under Wes. Offense has been listless and confused since 2020 - and with three different offensive coordinators. Dabo refuses to use the transfer portal. Dabo refuses to use the transfer portal or pay market rate for high school recruits. So talent leaves the team faster than it comes in, all the while Dabo is making 11.5 million a year and laughing all the way to the bank.

Everytime Dabo gets even close to called out, he cuts access to the fans and rages about how thankful we should be that he’s even here in the first place. They basically killed off the coach’s show after fans started questioning Dabo. Dabo is the first to talk about how he’s won 9+ games more than any other Clemson coach, and then ignores that Clemson even play 9 games a season for half its existence, and only started playing 12 games with 2-3 annual gimmes against FCS and G5 schools 20 years ago.

Dabo thinks he’s bigger than Clemson. He needs to retire for the good of the program, or Neff and the BoT needs to hand him a pink slip.

We could have had the 3 easy points on that 4th and 1 can we please start shamming dabo on his bullcrap aggressive calls. The many fake punts and missed 4th downs, we would have been going for the winning drive rather than the tieing. TAKE THE POINTS ITS NOT HARD!!! I don’t care what analytics say our offense has been terrible against ranked opponents all season take the points when you can get them, this isn’t hard!!!

don’t see sarycuse winning this one. down 14. thanks garret riley

I haven’t felt this level of pain as a Clemson fan since the OT game against FSU in like 2013 and I think this was far worse

I know you all will hate me for this but frankly I couldn’t give any less of a McFuck about that. We sat pat at the transfer portal and Dabo went as far as to shit talk it. Well we could’ve ended up with Will Howard or someone like that who could actually throw it and not make costly picks late in games. Our defense could be an all time great one but we still will go 8-5 every year because we have no offense. We can’t even compete with national championship contenders anymore because we can’t execute offensively. We lost by over thirty points to Georgia because our offense couldn’t get throws off quickly enough. Now I don’t want to hear about the strength of schedule in September or first game nerves, we got our ass whooped by Georgia. We are going to eventually leave the ACC for the SEC to go 7-5 every year and then nothing will ever change if we keep beyond this and next year. Anyway, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Looks like a forgotten skill
