All very true.
But these are different times, there is not that type of patience anywhere.
In addition, while he got boat raced badly, it was generally by good or very good teams. Manny lost to FIU etc etc. I don’t believe he ever had losses that were that bad.
He gets his chance. And it’s this year. He better make the most of it.
The Ed Reed 2 star & look at Dabo arguments have gotta stop. Lol.
U r absolutely right about Dabo;
First: Dabo first full year as coach, he went 9-5 and WON THE ACC ATLANTIC. Lol. Those 5 losses were against #12 GT (twice-once in the Reg season and in the ACCCG) #14 TCU, USCe, and Maryland.
His second yr, they went 6-7. His losses were against #15 Auburn, #16 us, UNC, BC, #17 USCe, and USF in the bowl game.
Third yr: Won 10+ and never looked back.
Worst lost was against Maryland, but again, he still played in the ACCCG in his 1st yr. So yeah, Clemson was a little patient w him.
We went 1-2 against G5 teams
Lost to a 2 win GT team
Lost to a 5 win Duke team
Blew a lead against UNC late in the 4th by giving up a 4th & 17 to a true frosh QB
So pls let’s put the Dabo comparison to rest. Lol.
