DJ U. and Klubnik we’re both slam dunk 5 stars, so idk about money drying up.



Let’s restate it for 2021 and this year: money was spent in terrible ways. And now Clemson is completing on a more even ground than before. Couple that with the loss in coordinators and they’re trash.

Isn't Dabo reluctant to use the transfer portal? Can't do that now in this new age of CFB

1. NIL levels the playing field and Clemson lost their massive advantage with newspring
2. Dabo lost Venables and the sign stealing
3. Doesn’t have a NFL starter as QB
4. WR recruiting went into the dumpster
5. Georgia Tennessee FSU Carolina’s got better at recruiting
6. Dabo gave coordinator jobs to his unqualified buddies

Yes, he's refusing to adapt. His stubbornness is going to cost him his job if he doesn't wise up

What is Newspring and why was it an advantage? Seriously. I apparently completely missed this part of the Clemson saga.

2019 LSU killed their program similar to the way Clemson replaced LSU as a national power after the 2012 Peach Bowl

I’d add that their OL play has been abysmal for years now.

Basically everything that made Clemson ultra elite is gone and I doubt they have two players on offense that would’ve started on any of their national championship game teams.

They legitimately aren’t very talented right now compared to the UGA/Bama/Ohio State tier of schools.

I don’t think they are as talented as A&M and they definitely aren’t as talented as Florida State.

It’s a large church near Clemson.

The rumor for years had been that Clemson was running money through the church to buy players during the Dabo championship run.

Newspring is an ARC church. If you follow the steps right in the church build process they are money making machines. I know there founding pastor Perry Noble. He's good buddies with my brother in law. He's a drunk loud mouth piece of shite.

During realignment talk, I heard a good interview with a reporter that said when you peel back on Clemson, they aren’t that attractive and UNC, Miami, UVA and Florida St are much better choices

Not a historical blue blood. Not that wealthy and has average academics.

They weren’t, but both (especially Georgia) are clearly way better at it than they were 10 years ago.

Well, they, their admissions standards and their tuition don't see it that way
