Turnover Chain Cristobal Era

[Deleted member 23667]

A lot of us are sick and tired of the turnover chain, and I totally understand why. It's a gimmick, it's a symbol of the Diaz era, and dear God why do they ALWAYS gotta pull it out, even when we are down by 3 scores. I'm in agreement with all of this.

That said, the turnover chain, back in it's heyday, was a force to be reckoned with. It could energize the team, help shift momentum completely in our favor, and demoralize opponents. There's a reason a bunch of teams copied the concept around the country, and I believe even some NFL players have experimented with it.

So why not do this: the chain only comes out when Coach Cristobal says it comes out. Like a mid-game (or post-game) helmet sticker but way better. It would obviously have to be a potentially game changing play on defense (like when Bandy took it to the house against ND; you knew the game was over at they point). Mario obviously ain't going to pull it out if we are getting blown out or winning but playing against the FAMUs of the world. And the players would have an added incentive to make the big play.

Thoughts?

Only rings we should be playing for is ACC and Natty ships

I hate how this generation constantly needs immediate gratification.

Manny Diaz thought of it and it had a decent little run. It’s time to move on and put them in the Hecht or auction them off all together. I understand every other team has turnover props. But we embarrassed ourselves far too often with it for it to remain as the every game prop.

Get rid of it is my vote

Look man I'm sorry but the jewelry is symbolic of a decayed era gratefully forgotten. Keep the chain locked inside a vault like the The Terminator arm and CPU that were stolen from Cyberdyne.

Whatever Cristobal wants. That's it. That's the post.

It was awesome when it first became a thing and was the talk of college football. Won't be mad if they decide to do something different or do away with the chain completely. The rings need to never see the light of day again, they are and always have been super corny.

It can be cringy, but if the players like it.... if you do use it I think there should be only one chain for special plays tos, tds, 50 yd+ fg, punt downed inside the 5, that type of stuff. However, I wouldn't miss it if it's gone.

 

[AlphaMarshan]

If they keep it, I'd just like some sort of stipulation about not "breaking out the turnover chain!!11!" when we're down 30 with 6min left in the 4th.

I agree and think it should be retired and put on display…

At the time it was different and trendy just like our Canes were many years ago….the chain became widely popular that every team has a prop it seems.

The chain showed up in 2017 and worked for about 10 games.

28-24 since that 10-0 start. 0-4 in bowl games. Lost to FIU, Duke and Louisiana Tech to end year one of the Diaz era. Wrecked 62-24 by North Carolina last year.

Destroyed by Alabama in opener. Rolled 21-3 in fourth quarter by Michigan State this year. Couldn't take the Coastal in arguably the worst ACC year in recent memory.

This is the fifth incarnation of the Turnover Chain and it was good for about 75% of year one—while proving meaningless the past 4.25 years.

Let Cristobal put it on ice and maybe reintroduce down the road. The entire "celebration chain" thing blew up everywhere in 2017 and it's become passe since.

Made national headlines for the wrong reasons this year. Needs a hard reset, at minimum—and rings need to go for good, as offense's job is literally to score (defense is to get stops; takeaways are a bonus.)

Not a good thing to keep the chain, If u losing 31-0 and u get a turnover who tf wants to wear it?

 

[JD08]

Nobody laughed at it in 2017 when we were 10-0. Nobody laughs at Alabama's belt. If you're going to have it, you have to back it up on the field, otherwise it's just a participation trophy.

Every team has someting it should be up for vote with the players if they like throw them a bone if the coaches are doing there job then the team should be I all the games

We need to 86 that stupid ****.

It was fun in 2017, but now it's something people laugh at & mock us for. And it looks stupid as **** when we're losing

 

[CreamCityCane]

Retire it to recruiting prop. Take it out on community outreach and let fans take photos with it for a few bucks to raise money. Lend it to gameday if they come visit. It can continue to be a symbol for the program but not on the field.

I could be convinced to let it come out if someone makes a TO that puts a dagger in a big game (ACCCG, FSU, Playoffs, etc), but it should never be seen in a Loss.

 

[coffeecane]

Nothing wrong with the chain. Just can't break it out against fcs opponents, or if you are getting your *** whipped.

 

[Suhrthing]

No need to over complicate it, keep it or get rid of it.
