Remember all the bragging we did about how the entire apparatus at Clemson was finally in lockstep...President, AD, Dabo? We were at the top of the mountain with a synergy that most programs didn't possess. Everyone was sailing in the same direction, remember that? We had the best facilities that were the envy of college football. We had a young first ballot HOF coach who already had 2 natties in his back pocket and was unquestionably on his way to more.
So can someone explain to me how we went from the pinnacle to looking like an absolute clown show so quickly? I realize the landscape of CFB has shifted in ways most of us don't like, but Dabo gets paid an obscene amount of money (along with our assistants) to recognize what is happening in his chosen profession and adapt or die.
At what point does an apparent unwillingness to play the game (transfer portal) combined with an apparent inability to play the game (recruiting) and understand what is happening to your program necessitate a change? I mean how tf are we losing recruits to Rutgers/UNC/Duke/GT?
How much has to happen before Dabo, Neff, Clements, etc wake up? Are they just going to fiddle while Clemson burns? I'm as big as fan of Dabo as you can find, and maybe I'm overreacting here...but how is what's happening to this class and our roster overall through years of mismanagement not gross negligence on his part? He should not be blindsided now by what we're seeing out of Tae Harris. How is he not meeting with Clements/Neff/IPTAY constantly to figure this shit out?
It's embarrassing to see how unprepared we look for what is happening in CFB right now.
