Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Does Dabo Swinney get on anyone else's nerves?

    Yes. Can't stand him. But he wins, and you can't really argue with that, either.

    Maybe 30 years from now he will be as endearing as a young Bobby Bowden

    I don't hate Dabo...but the coaches that wave their arms to try and get the crowd going...... The fake touching the rock and pointing to God.

    Give me a break.

    Once Watson leaves Clemson will be back to being Clemson. The Clemson before these past two years.

    Their team this year reminds me of FSU during Winston'a sophomore year. They've won a bunch of close games. Eventually, they probably get plungered.

    The defense is insane... they've replaced 7 guys the past two years and still have like 5 NFL linemen.

    Deshaun has been amazing, but I think you're underestimating the cultural change that's taken place.

    Clemson won't 'go back to being Clemson' when Deshaun leaves any more than UW will 'go back to being UW after Browning leaves.'

    I pay close attention to Clemson and their talent level is really high and their D plays well.

    Without question the team isn't Bama who can just totally reload after a kid like Deshaun leaves. But to act like they are going to lose the confidence it takes to make plays in critical situations? That's goofy.

    He has won he Atlantic division 4 times (going for his 5th) and the ACC 2 times (going for 3rd) since 2009. That is extremely consistent and that isn't just luck.

    This board confuses me. It seems like unless you are Saban and win national championships every year you aren't a good coach. What Bama is doing is out of this world and won't be replicated by anyone else until Saban leaves.

    To me a good coach has his team in the hunt for the division title every year, win the conference at least every couple of them, and occasionally when the stars align have a legit shot at a natty. Dabo has done exactly that.

    98% of college football programs would kill to have the kind of success Clemson has been having since he arrived.

    Doesn't sound like you're confused
