Really? Is it not on 3rd down that as defense really needs to stop the other team and get off the field for its offense?
True but the defense isn't the main reason why we are 6-7.you have to admit defense kept us in almost every game.Not a Canes Warning fan but I kind of agree with some of his point. The vitriol Manny gets as HC, considering he’s done it for 1 season is ridiculous and over the top. These same people would have fired Dabo, no question.
That being said, the defense did noticeably take a step back this year. Was that because of Manny being less hands on, Baker struggling, apathy with the offense or just not being as good? Idk could be a combination. But our D def wasn’t dominant this past season.
That’s like...half the downs. Lol!!

True because we didn't have that disruptive dt this year.Oh you’re preaching to the choir here. I definitely agree that the D was good enough to win at least 9+ games. Offense was comically bad. Just felt the D wasn’t quite up to the standard of the 2 years before, based off the eye test.
Hehe, Dabo didn't put up 6-7 season when he had his first full year at Clemson.
Definitely not surprised. I knew our fans would start calling for his firing as soon as we lost to Florida.
Our fans def ain’t mild though, let’s be real. Are you new to this board?
I said Manny deserves scrutiny. We lost to 2 G5’s and some other bad teams. But him being fired after year 1 was never realistic. Either he will get it right or get fired next season, but if you think he deserves the type of **** said about him by our fans then we will just have to agree to disagree.
But the best part is not only cherry picking our defense stats, it’s in the wake of a garbage strength of schedule! GT beat ONE other team?! We lost to TWO conf USA teams and almost lost to CMich?!My man said, “other than 3rd & 4th down, they were top 25 across the board.” Lol.
So when it came time to get off the field or make a stop, we sucked.....other than that, championship caliber football. Lol.
Bro; can’t make this up if u tried. Lol. “Guys, guys....listen, sure we let the O stay on the field, and you are correct, when we needed a stop on 3rd & Long, 4th & Long, we got our @$$es handed to us! Other than that; we were rock solid like Peter North in the mid 90’s.”
L-O-L
High post count, lots of new threads AND a schtick.Yes.
Andrew has given me a strict quota and it must be met.
He’s very demanding.
