Dabo was 15-12 his first two seasons at Clemson. With that said, he was at a university committed to winning and I sincerely question Miami's commitment to winning at this point in time.

Manny might fail. But anyone calling for him to be fired in game 4 of his head coaching career is utterly ******* clueless. Year 1 is meaningless. We'll learn some great things in Year 2 and by Year 3 we better be in the playoff hunt or we move on. End of story. Some of you need to stop acting like women (no offense to the women on this forum).

This is such a false statement. Its one thing when you lose to teams like UF that are headed by a clearly better coach and loaded with more talent. However, when you lose to a school with a new coach that was a bigger dumpster fire than yourself the year prior. That tells you what you need to know.

When a bonafide corch, comes in his first year to a G5 school, and almost beats you, after they where 1-11 in the ******* MAC the year before. YOu know how you have a problem.

I agree with this but it will be the exception to the rule when it comes to previous lazy, nepotistic hires this university has made over the years

Clemson was not committed to winning, at least not NCs. If they were, they would have fired Dabo for his 6-7 record his third season (if you count his interim period as his first). Tommy Bowden coached there nine seasons without 10 games once. He only won 9 games three times. He was 3-4 in minor bowl games.

Clemson is fortunate Dabo ended up a great HC/CEO. Had he not beaten rival USCe in his first interim season he might not have been retained (his own words in an interview).

This board would complain the BOT wasn’t committed to winning if any Canes HC wasn’t fired after matching Dabo’s record his first three seasons.

I can't really question any of that.

To be frank, what we did was amazing in the past. A small private school that flipped the script on all of the big boys of college football.

It was a different era and time. The bigs had better facilities besides the old girl, the OB, which was on par with anything else in college football as it was a pro stadium.

The Bigs though were stuck doing what they did for years and kept them on top. We move safeties to linebackers, backers went to the ends, etc. We brought speed and best their lumbering asses like a drum.

We were light years ahead. The city of Miami was electric at that time.

Guess what though, the bigs were slow to change, but they did. They followed our lead and the game was forever changed.

We still have talent in our area locally, but everyone wants a piece. We've got nice facilities, so do they only bigger and better. In the age of every game on television, with stadium draws decreasing, it's a tough draw (in particular with the small fanbase that's aging out from the good times) for a small fanbase.

High school kids aren't loyal to their high school teams, switching up their school yearly in an attempt to create some super team. They are mercenaries at this point and won't put on for their local team where they grew up, why would they for our favorite school?

The coaching in high school by and large is horrendous to put it nicely. I'm not saying the coaches don't know the game, but they certainly don't have the resources that most schools do. Schools across the country dump all kinds of money into their programs and are so far ahead of S FL schools in strength and speed development it isn't even funny. We've gotten raw.

The internet didn't help. The fast transfer of information and communication means have hurt. You can watch high school games live a lot of the time or within a day as they're all basically uploaded into a server. Going away to school isn't like it once was and family can see you play anywhere. Highlights used to have to be mailed, now pick from multiple sites and a coach sees them all. Camps, some write them off, but the good players get massive exposure from them. Coaches, they had pride in what we were doing, now they just want the right fit wherever or flat out sell out. You used to have to go through mom, pop, or a coach and now every high school kid has a direct line.

I believe we are commited to winning, but we're facing a lot of the same things that have always plagued us. We aren't meant to be elite. What's our next lightning in a bottle? How are we to change the game again and rise to the top? The odds aren't in our favor and many aren't patient. I'm beginning to believe we need a good coach, but also need patience. I don't like saying that, it sucks, but a shot every three, four, or five years may be as good as it gets. That's our demographic unless someone comes and changes it miraculously for the third time.
