What in the hell has happened to Clemson? This is a total clown show. What a disaster.

Venables gone, not stealing signals.

Dabo hated the portal and NIL and refused to embrace it. Program immediately fell apart

This doesn’t even remotely resemble Clemson from just a couple of years ago. How did Troy lose that game? This might be the worst Clemson team I’ve ever seen. Can Dabo survive this?

Dabo is a Mack Brown who's 2nd QB didn't go down in the title game.

Dabo should be a legendary figure for Clemson fans, forever, but he’s hanging around long enough to tarnish his record and make the fans resent him.

It’s so easy to forget week one we thought LSU-Clemson was a potential NC preview and that game was viewed as must see tv.
Turns out both teams just suck on offense and I’m not entirely sure how or why because on paper they should’ve been solid to good.

You can say the same about LSU - we have been objectively terrible lately, JD5 aside

Prime Dabo was way better than prime Mack
Clemmy went to 6 straight 4-team playoffs, and played in 4 natties in 5 years

Dabo got lazy and didn’t hire the best coaches he could get. It seems to happen pretty often in a coaching cycle.

the 4 team playoff didn't exist when Mack Brown went on his run or he also would've went 4 times, probably more.

This. Clemson with Venables + Watson and Lawrence will be their peak.
It’s all down hill from here.

He didn’t refuse to embrace a nine figure contract, though. You don’t get paid money like that to graduate 100 handpicked kids and teach them some life skills.
He needs to accept that he’s in the entertainment business and that the players are now getting their cut. And if he doesn’t like it or can’t embrace it, he can go coach high school or small college ball somewhere and make a lot less money and won’t have to worry about it.

Really?
2023 and 2025 teams have the same conf record.

Between the two natty appearances Mack had multiple 3-loss regular seasons. He only had two other 1-loss regular seasons. So 4x max, spread over 7 years, with 3 loss seasons in the middle.
6 is in a row is way better

Funneling money through a megachurch to pay for big time recruits is no longer viable now that everyone can pay players.

Bigger question is how in the hell did it take a miracle for Indiana jones to beat Penn state
Posted on 12/27/25 at 1:25 pm to UncleRoll
That Newspring money ran out, Venables left, and their cheating got caught.
Other ACC programs brought in better coaches and talent.
This is who Clemson really is, don’t let a 5 year aberration fool you.
