Shades of Sark

Other than being 13-0 entering the game, but still...

KO return for TD

Onside kick

WR running completely free for TD

General soft play

That game was a textbook example of a better coach buttfucking the other guy.

    Soft?

    Agreed. They were hitting hard and did a great job in containing Henry. Big plays and ST were the difference for Bama.

    Didn't make plays when it mattered.

    Which is why I titled this thread "Shades of Sark."

    Clemson didn't play soft and they didn't get plungered. Give credit where credit is due. They did get out coached, but that shouldn't be a shocker. Swinney isn't Saban, nor is just about any other coach short of Meyer.

    I don't think Clemson played soft, but I had the thought that Dabo's general heart on the slave antics were Sarkish. He was bitching and whining the whole game. His players believe in him, which is more than I can say for Sark, but there is a lot of sizzle with Dabo.

    He would never do better than 7-6 at Washington.

    Surely you don't think Clemson is a job where a 7 win coach at UW can win 13 games?

    Dabo might not win a title here but he could win double digits rather easily. He's not a great coach but he doesn't suck.
    lulz at the idea that Clemson isn't an ACC Washington. The team history is basically exactly the same. They've had ONE natty team ('81) and have gone up/down the rungs of good mediocrity sometimes having runs where they are consistently in the top 25.

    I'm not a big Dabo guy, but what he's done is undeniable IMO. He took a program that was being run by a Sark-like guy (Tommy B.) and built this shit into a space where we were in a Natty and are poised to be really fucking good next year.
    Exactly. Very similar program profiles.

    Shades of Sark? Sark hardly ever lost close, when Sark lost he got destroyed. Shades of Peterman maybe.

    Clemson played a damn good game. Perhaps you're just bitter because you decided Bama was shit once they lost to Ole Miss? That was nothing like a Sark game.

    No, shades of Sark because Dabo was the sole reason Clemson lost. The game reminded me of when Sark lost to Stanford. The sole reason Clemson lost was discipline. If Saban and him switched rosters he would have lost by 21.

    Never once in my life said Bama was shit. I've always said they were good. I didn't think Coker could lead them to a title, but he stepped up. Pretty big difference from saying they were shit. I've said Ole Miss is shit because they are.

    People remember the blowouts and forget that Sark also lost close games squarely on his blunders and lack of detail at both UW and USC.

    Clemson had so many blatant assignment errors and special teams gaffes. Alabama is a great team, but Clemson beat themselves. It was a poorly coached game. Don't be confused by Watson doing his best Vince Young comparison to make it look otherwise.

    It's not comparing Dabo to Sark. Obviously Dabo is way better and he has built a very good program, maybe even a great one, but it was kind of amazing to watch a team in the title game be so undisciplined when all the talent was there to win the game.

    If you're not comparing Dabo to Sark then why the thread title "Shades of Sark"?

    Despite all this Dabo-is-Sark talk, Bellevue High School beats PLU by 2 scores on neutral field. Simple fact.

    I like to pretend that PLU's players could tackle Myles Jack, Budda Baker, and John Nguyen.

    Because they lost simply because they didn't play fundamental football which is something that happens to coaches that are lacking in areas.

    I don't think it's really that hard to get. I forget some of you are such fucking stupid doogs who take everything literal.

    Btw, how did LSU end up doing? I thought they were going to buttfuck everyone and didn't need a QB? What happened?

    Did you see whatever bowl LSU played in? 56 points.
