Nothing beats Orgeron going “come on man” when the caller told him to stay away from his sister

Those years of competing for titles were all with literally zero competition in the entire conference and a schedule that most years would make Michigan's from this year look difficult.


This is so hyperbolic and flat out dumb as shite. Go look up Clemson’s SOS those 4 seasons they played in the NC.


Just looked up their schedule, they average 2 ranked teams per regular season between 15-19. L. O. L.

And Dabo says it himself, he isn't in favor of paying players and even threatened to quit coaching college football if it became "professional" and kids were making bank.

Sorry the truth hurts your feelings but Dabo hates NIL, hates the portal, and now actually plays regular season teams with a pulse every week. Hope they make a bowl game at this rate lol

Dabo Swinney ripping into a fan who asks him why Clemson's paying him a huge salary just to go 4-4. "You're part of the problem."
So the coach of the team isn't part of the problem, but a fan no one knows or ever heard of is more of the problem and reason they're 4-4 than the actual coach?

"To answer your question, I started as the lowest-paid coach in this business ... I worked my arse off. I'm not gonna let this smart-arse kid get on the phone" and tell me how to do my job. "I work for the board of trustees."
Not sure if there was more, but based on the OP quotes, the caller never told him how to do his job. The caller asked him why Clemson is paying him a huge salary just to go 4-4.

Nope, the problem is they're 4-4.

He’s 100% right. But probably not the best way to go about saying it.

This

Dabo brought Clemson to where they are, and he's pretty obviously allowed 1 down year after a decade of Clemson's best football.

But he didn't seem to address the actual question, maybe he didn't need to. But more to the point, even if Dab does deserve a pass or some time to have 1 bad season, being 4-4 100% falls on him, the coach, and not random fans. So no, the fans are not the problem. You being the coach of a 4-4 team, that' is the "problem" right now.

I would argue that he's been successful because the ACC has been pretty much trash for his entire tenure as HC. Only now the ACC actually has quite a few good teams in it this year specifically.

Hard to argue his recruiting prowess though. He just needs to change tactics and use the transfer portal like everyone else. He's letting his ego get Clemson behind in building their roster on the same level as the rest of the country.

Melllllllltttt Dabo.


If I was Tyler, id call back in and go "Coach, its Tyler again...follow up question. Why are we paying you 11 million a year to not use the transfer portal? Seems to me that successful coaches are using it?"


but I think we all know that this whole thing is fake, and just like the 5 min rant against SC, this is all a ploy to get the fans back on their side.

Bad look for Dabo attacking that guy. Caller sound like may have been mildly retarded.

I’m pretty sure all Clemson fans have a bit of tard in them.

Everyone has to let off some steam at some point. He just picked a bad time to do it.

I thought Davi’s response was amazing.

Fans get so spoiled from winning that they stop appreciating everything

God god.. Saban has a 1 Loss season and BAMA fans want to fire him for gods sake

What’s crazy is that Georgia’s schedule this season is a lot easier than their schedule was
