Very good analysis by J.D. Dabo understands that he needs to change as proven by his hires during the past three seasons. Tom Allen will enjoy living in Clemson and will help the Tigers' program.
Definitely in pass pro. Went from c- to A there. I’d say the run blocking fell off a cliff. Mafah was banged up but there were no lanes to be found. Partly due to zone run scheme, gotta work on a way to find balance this year
He's got to get some dudes in there which I hope starts this year. Strength and conditioning but the center and a couple more of our oline got man handled in better competition uga and texas, and Pitt @tylerseger6718
@@tylerseger6718 Well it was year one of Luke. Of course his job at that point was patch work with what he had. He did an overall good job. Now he has pieces coming in to do what he needs to do.
You got a good coordinator. If he has talent he can make them shine just like he did penn state. Most of Penn states defense was already there when he came and they were already top 20
Those "insults" were deserved. Dabo's coaching hires from within overtly tanked this teams production. We still give thanks to Tyler from Spartanburg for lighting that man's ass on fire last season.
Wes Goodwin lost his DC position after his poor showing against South Carolina. He pulled Sammy Brown out in the fourth quarter when the defense had contained the QB. Sammy Brown was still leading tackler for that game. Fans were furious and Dabo couldn’t explain the decision.
You are so correct on all points. Dabo has no clue had no clue about anything regarding that game. Go back an listen to the post game interview- the first one. You will be amazed at his inability to coach.
@ It inexplicable to anybody watching that game and everything changed on the defensive side. I think the Tom Allen hire is a good move. James Franklin can never seem the win the big games at Penn State.
They didn’t pull Sammy brown they switched to a 4-2-5 and were rotating between a few backers so brown just saw very limited snaps. Still yet who tf knows why they went to a 4-2-5 against the run.
It will be interesting to see how Clemson handles Tom Allen's speaking disability. At Penn State he had to sit in the booth, call in the play to an analyst, then the analyst used radio comms to the MLB. It was a game of phone tag. The players couldn't understand what Allen was saying during games.
He almost doubled his salary, I'd say that is a promotion. Plus living in a much better climate on Lake Keowee and his 2 daughters live in SC and there's his faith which aligns with Dabo's. win win for all it seems
Dabo Swinney FINALLY - FINALLY - FINALLY - stopped the damn nepotistic hires and pulled more "true" coaching talent. Guessing Tyler from Spartanburg - social media - and the drop in IPTAY donations finally hit home after he spent years BS'ing DJU's talent, his former-players ability to coach, refusing to use the portal and the overt drop-off of Clemson's production.
He had no other option at the time other than DJ. Therefore he was not BS'ing his talent he was trying to lift his QB up to support him. Saying he sucks would have made that team turn in to 2024 FSU. Dabo somehow made DJ look decent. Tyler from Spartanburg/social media has nothing to do with anything. Dabo just like anyone made decisions he felt would work, and ultimately some of those decisions did not work. That is part of life just like any other job. No one makes perfect hires all the time, but sometimes those chances you give people pay off 10 fold (like Dabo getting a chance to begin with)
Somewhere Greg Sankey is crying in the corner because even he knows what is coming now that Dabo is going to play along…😈 Stick it to the SEC EVERY. CHANCE. WE. GET. LSWho…you’re on the clock..
When Allen arrived at PSU, he inherited the third ranked defense in the entire country. And after just one season at Penn State, PSU’s defense fell five spots to number eight. Long story short: I wish Allen well, but as a Penn State fan, and I think I speak for many of us, we are okay with his departure.
Yes we expect to be in the mix of the top teams nationally. Go Tigers!

Don't forget Matt Luke and Chris Rumph hires last year. Luke immediately fixed the OL.

Tom, give us a top 25 defense! We’ll be right in the mix for a deep playoff run next year
Do you have a top 25 defensive unit?
@@Ty-ml7zeprobably a top 10 defense talent wise, atleast 8 nfl players starting

Gotta beat the gamecock’s first
We are excited about the moves that Clemson is doing. Go Tigers.
WOW - Way to go, Dabo. GO TIGERS!
Clemson nation. Remember all them insults everybody threw at us over the years. Just remember. It’s our time to strike back now 😘
So Dabo lied ? Saying he wouldn’t pay players

I like this guy with J.D. He is better spoken than a lot of these guys on RUclips in my opinion.
Go Tigers! I knew to trust Dabo as soon as I saw that first transfer fill a hole that’s all I’ve been looking for.
Here we come
Trust in Dabo people!
"In Dabo we trust...Cemson Nation co,img right at cha so hang on everybody it's gonna be fun...Go Tigers...🏈
Such a great hire!
Yes we need to get our Defense together and make a run for another championship
Go Tigers 🐅
This guy loves his chain restaurant/fast food analogies haha. I enjoy it. But it makes me hungry dammit
Great take yo. Go Tigers!
Great show
Wish Tom the best. He’ll be surrounded by faith and family. PSU will be just fine. Most likely Pointdexter - internal hire.
Go Tigers
Chik-fil-A open for lunch on Sunday would be amazing!!
5 points in Columbia Chick-fil-A used to be open till 3 am on the weekend before Covid. It was hella nice
Gamecock game sank Wes forever and ever at Clemson
Repeatedly. 🥲
And to lose to the gamecocks is a new low
2:00 Wes' defense allowed THE CITADEL to rush for 288 yards. That's emblematic of the challenges he couldn't solve.
This is emblematic of the depth issues on defense more than Goodwin. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he’s done
If Allen produces a noticeable improvement, look out, because that offense will definitely score some points.

Huh?
@randybagwell9485 I see what you did there, very funny.
Tom Allen doesn't have a speaking disability. He yells too much and lost his voice. He is in a better situation for sure.
Why would alken want to make a lateral move ?

Right now Clemson is the 2nd best college football team in the football state of South Carolina; Dabo has had the fire lit under him
They only recruit people who fit their culture not the other way around
The Belichick Effect?
We desperately need a running back

Natty 2025!!!
Funny Clemson hires ex gamecocks football star and ex gamecocks coach
Who do you speak of?
Tom Allen needs to get Penn state quality players if he is going to succeed.
Clemson is loaded with talent on defense, thats why the DC was fired. Too much talent for a poor defense rank
They’re at Clemson
He has them at Clemson. They have talent, and their DC was fired cause he didn’t know how to use it.
Penn State would love to have Peter Woods and TJ Parker
Clempson, lol. Thanks for trying
