1:26 far from it my friend. You’re one of my favorites. I might not catch all your videos live but I watch them all after you make them. Thanks for all you do.
Puh-leez! What good is a portal player if you don't have a coach that has bad play calling, cant teach them how to tackle, fill the gaps or stop the run? We have a top 10 roster that under achieved on defense. The portal is where you go to try and make a 20th rank defense and fill holes to get a top 10. The portal is not a magic pill.
I agree with you . The assistant coaches it seems weren't doing a great job . I mean when you call a defense and it's a bust ,because of poor tackling. That's a coaching assistant not teaching properly how to tackle or not stressing it and or practicing it enough . . Its a grap exercise . Grab with your hands , slow him down . Fact if you can grab the player slow him down for just a fraction of a second. Help can get there .grab and don't let go if all else fails.
The best game Clemson had was Miami vs Syracuse. Defense needs to get tougher. Recruiting needs to get back to where it was. I'd like to see some improvement on special teams. I think the o-line will get better the longer that Luke has to work with the players.
Wes is a good X`s and O`s guy, but part of the job is getting the players motivated to play at their highest level. I haven`t seen any of the coaches doing that since Brent left. Tyler from Spartanburg fired up the big guy, he fired up the rest of the staff. Dabo is not the motivator he used to be unless he feels insulted into it.I want "Old Dabo" back.
I've said it a thousand times, I think Wes does a GREAT job at scheming up defense for a game. But he sucks at calling plays and making adjustments. That all goes to show he was a great analyst, not a great DC. He can view tape and get a good plan going into a game, but once he's in game he doesn't cut it.
Clemson needs a GM for recruiting and the players most fit Clemson. Clemson most pay players at or above pay level for good players. Dabo must stop being so stubborn to change. Assistant coaches must be hired with experience 5 to 10 years minimum Then we see the program turn around
we have a GM and its Jordan Sorrells, and dabo has already grabbed a receiver and the number one rated edge rusher out of the portal. New DC hire and we are so back. we already have the talent on the roster.
They should try and see if Nick Saban would be open to coming to Clemson. If he is open to it, give him the spare key to the team. Make him the associate head coach, defensive coordinator, and let him make any position coach changes on the defensive side of the ball. Give him NIL money to get players out of the transfer portal if he wants to do that too.
It looks like West Virginia hired Zac Alley or is at the very least finalizing a deal with him. We won't know who the defensive coordinator will be for Clemson until it happens.
Hiring is not what we need; now that we are a professional football team we just need to pay more. How about a huge access fee on our season tickets..................I am talking about a serious fee to bring in some real football talent. Pro teams improve based on the dollars paid. We gotta pay up.
Yes the return of the annual winter blah just around the corner. But recruiting is going strong right now. "Former Oklahoma defensive coordinator Zac Alley is leaving Norman for the same role at West Virginia."
Time to make a real statement hire at DC.... Go grab Steve Spagnuolo from the Chiefs .... Time to raise the pay-grade for DCs . If you can't get Steve, get Rex Ryan.... He's hungry for work right now and use to run monster defenses in the NFL....
I have seen very few DCs make great head coaches. Most of the great ones are OCs I don't know why but it seems that is the case. Clemson is lacking in the development of the players. Just look at some of what they did during the golden years Simmons went from a three-star to a first-round draft pick. The defense this year was lacking in coaching. They could not stop the run and that one thing hurt them the most , I think.
here is a thought to blow your mind, nick Sabin as Clemson D C . Dabo has an in with nick , less pressure as a D C .sabin has had a year off. wouldn't that be a shocker
Admit you were wrong. About the portal not hurting clemson’s D (Mukuba and not replacing him) and about our defense being our rock. All your preseason talk about the portal centered around your assertion that our defense wasn’t affected thus it was all on our offensive coaching staff. Our defense has been crumbling since 2020 against good teams and now we’re just blaming coaches. Recruiting and filling portal losses matters. You were wrong
The name he threw out was Zach Alley, but he was hired yesterday by Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia, so that won't happen for us. As of right now, Goodwin is the DC and no staff changes have been announced. Everything is just rumor at present.
What if he brought this guy in with him and Ben boulware I know I just messed his name up but I am so sick can hardly type but that way you have someone who with the passion of Ben that has been critical of the toughness of our linebackers and bring in someone who is like a Matt Luke in that department and what do you think about Nick Easton Calling plays he has worked in the NFL as a coach he has had Chris R to come in and help with the D line he could still help there and he is a big reason we have the talent we do have on the line but he is already a Coach who has experience and if he was able to actually take the play calling over with a hire that was a person who is a specialist in the linebacker room and Easton would already have the teams respect and he could be a person who knows what it takes and who has been a Dc at auburn and in the NFL and has been in the crockpot and is a great coach and Dabo brought in people who are specific coaches in there department Wes was the brains behind Venables that was why Dabo wanted him but like you said he never made the transition action to a play caller and the reason Matt Luke has made such a difference in the offense is he turned the offensive line around because that was his specialty and that gave Riley a chance to open up the offense and with Cades growth it all started coming together not saying it’s a hire that all fans would see as a slam dunk but Dabo didn’t bring in Easton just because he was brought in to be what he’s has and has been on many Occasions tried to be poached for a DC JoB what do you think about that it’s not a small hire it’s a big hire for our linebackers and we get a Coach with experience and he has the teams respect and that might be a big reason we got to keep TJ and Peter just off the wall thinking love the videos Brian
There is nothing wrong with Clemson that a new OC and a top flight QB can't cure! Clemson has not had either since Trevor went to the pro's. Clemson's rebuild on the defensive side is over! They will be tough as nails next season! The defense has been so young but have now grown up! I wonder sometimes how much some folks really know about football if they haven't realized what I am saying? The talent is there to return Clemson to their glory days! If you can't make it happen, Dabo, Maybe it's time for you to retire! POMO
I think there are some/certain coaches tht better suited as Coordinators instead of Head Coaches....Brent, in my opinion would make a really good HC but I believe he is best suited as a Defensive Coordinator 💯😤🗣️ Wes Goodwin is an excellent analyst....better suited in tht capacity....not as a Defensive Coordinator... Dabo wouldn't make a quality coordinator bcuz in my opinion, he is a much better HC🗣️😤💯
Not Wes fault they were 14th against the run in acc. They wiffed. Didn't tackle good. Linebackers weren't that good. Sammy Brown should have been on field more.
8 1/2 minutes of bs just to get to the point. The Clemson opinion show. I can tell you what Brent would say about your closed door question. “ did you see that scatty office I was given? “ Brent has made more money in three years, than 20 years of Clemson would have paid. No one is leaving Oklahoma for Clemson. You need to try finding facts. Your opinions suk.
1:26 far from it my friend. You’re one of my favorites. I might not catch all your videos live but I watch them all after you make them. Thanks for all you do.
I appreciate that
With the hoody you look like a young Bill Belichick.
Yes he does
I figgered the hole thing out ..hire ch. V back from okla...pay him a fortune,and all your problems are over.. END OF STORY.
Dabo needs to hire a general manager to focus on portal acquisition and payroll.
Puh-leez! What good is a portal player if you don't have a coach that has bad play calling, cant teach them how to tackle, fill the gaps or stop the run? We have a top 10 roster that under achieved on defense. The portal is where you go to try and make a 20th rank defense and fill holes to get a top 10. The portal is not a magic pill.
Best way to judge a coach's ability is evaluate their results
Hire Bobby Dirkens😂
Yes
Dabo don't need to promote anybody on defense he needs new blood on defense to make assistance coaches do their job
I agree with you . The assistant coaches it seems weren't doing a great job . I mean when you call a defense and it's a bust ,because of poor tackling. That's a coaching assistant not teaching properly how to tackle or not stressing it and or practicing it enough . . Its a grap exercise . Grab with your hands , slow him down . Fact if you can grab the player slow him down for just a fraction of a second. Help can get there .grab and don't let go if all else fails.
Wes Goodwin + Brent V = a great defense combo
The best game Clemson had was Miami vs Syracuse. Defense needs to get tougher. Recruiting needs to get back to where it was. I'd like to see some improvement on special teams. I think the o-line will get better the longer that Luke has to work with the players.
I totally agree brother I've been saying it for years...
Need to go after Iowa’s DC
10:50 😂😂😂 right. I would throw in the towel too. You’d be set for life.
Yes siree
Zach Alley is now the assistant head coach at West Va as of a couple of hours ago from reports
Abs-so-freekin-lutely!
spot on commentary sir!!!!
Hire Tyler From Spartanburg, he started a fire under Dabo's arse and the team picked it up a notch 😊
Wes is a good X`s and O`s guy, but part of the job is getting the players motivated to play at their highest level. I haven`t seen any of the coaches doing that since Brent left. Tyler from Spartanburg fired up the big guy, he fired up the rest of the staff. Dabo is not the motivator he used to be unless he feels insulted into it.I want "Old Dabo" back.
Not only that player are being paid to play and have contracts will sponsors , who have other agenda’s ?
This is true
I've said it a thousand times, I think Wes does a GREAT job at scheming up defense for a game. But he sucks at calling plays and making adjustments. That all goes to show he was a great analyst, not a great DC. He can view tape and get a good plan going into a game, but once he's in game he doesn't cut it.
Clemson needs a GM for recruiting and the players most fit Clemson.
Clemson most pay players at or above pay level for good players.
Dabo must stop being so stubborn to change.
Assistant coaches must be hired with experience 5 to 10 years minimum
Then we see the program turn around
we have a GM and its Jordan Sorrells, and dabo has already grabbed a receiver and the number one rated edge rusher out of the portal. New DC hire and we are so back. we already have the talent on the roster.
A GM is a great idea if they can scout, sell the program and handle NIL money.
I agree 💯 go get someone from NFL with good background pay these people's
Hey Daniel High School has a DC don't they?
Hehehe
Blake Baker at LSU, Jim Knowles at Ohio State and Glenn Schumann at Georgia are the best available defensive coordinators.
Who said those 3 were available?..wat u want & wats available are 2 different things lol
Laying all jokes aside clemson is back to where they were a few yrs ago, they onlly beat cellar dwellers.
Who else would love to see Brent Venables come back???
❤❤❤
Simple problem , players are not players anymore , semi pro players that are not ready for prime time…
They should try and see if Nick Saban would be open to coming to Clemson. If he is open to it, give him the spare key to the team. Make him the associate head coach, defensive coordinator, and let him make any position coach changes on the defensive side of the ball.

It looks like West Virginia hired Zac Alley or is at the very least finalizing a deal with him. We won't know who the defensive coordinator will be for Clemson until it happens.
I just listened to the Orange Crush podcast and David Hood did not say anything about Zach Alley.
you are on point !
That promoting from within doesn’t work if they’re not ready for the next level. Gotta hire a proven professional DC.
Yes and yes
Thats a fact- best defensive showing all year was the first half of the GA game
Hiring is not what we need; now that we are a professional football team we just need to pay more. How about a huge access fee on our season tickets..................I am talking about a serious fee to bring in some real football talent. Pro teams improve based on the dollars paid. We gotta pay up.
I'd go for Iowa d coordinator. With athletes as good as clemson. We will be a force.
I’ve heard that idea from a few others… maybe you’re right
Maybe the next. Bet he's coached more college students.
Defenses take on the personality of the coach (football 101) our defense looked feeble.
Wrong he going to West Virginia he would had been a good hire
Clemson needs to go after the defensive dude at Georgia. As far as our defensive guy, go west young man, GO WEST.
Why not Lorenzo Ward
Muschamp might go there.
Yes the return of the annual winter blah just around the corner. But recruiting is going strong right now.
"Former Oklahoma defensive coordinator Zac Alley is leaving Norman for the same role at West Virginia."
Time to make a real statement hire at DC....
Go grab Steve Spagnuolo from the Chiefs .... Time to raise the pay-grade for DCs .
If you can't get Steve, get Rex Ryan.... He's hungry for work right now and use to run monster defenses in the NFL....

here is a thought to blow your mind, nick Sabin as Clemson D C . Dabo has an in with nick , less pressure as a D C .sabin has had a year off. wouldn't that be a shocker
Lorenzo Ward ?
Need strength and conditioning coach to help prevent all these injuries
Admit you were wrong. About the portal not hurting clemson’s D (Mukuba and not replacing him) and about our defense being our rock.

Congeniality hire
do not need more family
So who is he hiring ?
The name he threw out was Zach Alley, but he was hired yesterday by Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia, so that won't happen for us. As of right now, Goodwin is the DC and no staff changes have been announced. Everything is just rumor at present.
you right
Are you a fan of Riley... im not convinced bout him...
Me either😊
What if he brought this guy in with him and Ben boulware I know I just messed his name up but I am so sick can hardly type but that way you have someone who with the passion of Ben that has been critical of the toughness of our linebackers and bring in someone who is like a Matt Luke in that department and what do you think about Nick Easton Calling plays he has worked in the NFL as a coach he has had Chris R to come in and help with the D line he could still help there and he is a big reason we have the talent we do have on the line but he is already a Coach who has experience and if he was able to actually take the play calling over with a hire that was a person who is a specialist in the linebacker room and Easton would already have the teams respect and he could be a person who knows what it takes and who has been a Dc at auburn and in the NFL and has been in the crockpot and is a great coach and Dabo brought in people who are specific coaches in there department Wes was the brains behind Venables that was why Dabo wanted him but like you said he never made the transition action to a play caller and the reason Matt Luke has made such a difference in the offense is he turned the offensive line around because that was his specialty and that gave Riley a chance to open up the offense and with Cades growth it all started coming together not saying it’s a hire that all fans would see as a slam dunk but Dabo didn’t bring in Easton just because he was brought in to be what he’s has and has been on many Occasions tried to be poached for a DC JoB what do you think about that it’s not a small hire it’s a big hire for our linebackers and we get a Coach with experience and he has the teams respect and that might be a big reason we got to keep TJ and Peter just off the wall thinking love the videos Brian
Thank you much!
Zac is at WVU.
There is nothing wrong with Clemson that a new OC and a top flight QB can't cure! Clemson has not had either since Trevor went to the pro's. Clemson's rebuild on the defensive side is over! They will be tough as nails next season! The defense has been so young but have now grown up! I wonder sometimes how much some folks really know about football if they haven't realized what I am saying? The talent is there to return Clemson to their glory days! If you can't make it happen, Dabo, Maybe it's time for you to retire! POMO
Kade is an NFL starting QB
Smu through it to the back
As of right now Zac is heading to West Virginia and Oklahomas defense wasn't that good this year
It’ll be Ward
Out of luck Alley is going to West Virginia.
Mike Vrabel 🙏🏻
Will Bustchamp!!! Hellll no program killer!
He's the perfect fit
Geoff Collins is available.
Todd Grantham
I think there are some/certain coaches tht better suited as Coordinators instead of Head Coaches....Brent, in my opinion would make a really good HC but I believe he is best suited as a Defensive Coordinator 💯😤🗣️
Wes Goodwin is an excellent analyst....better suited in tht capacity....not as a Defensive Coordinator...
Dabo wouldn't make a quality coordinator bcuz in my opinion, he is a much better HC🗣️😤💯
Why Zac Ally? Oklahoma's defense was garbage.
Oklahoma overall defense was tied for 17th in the nation. 51st in run defense .👎 Not really a show stopper.
Both categories are MUCH MUCH BETTER than Our 🐅 defense in 2024 so it would be an IMPROVEMENT 😤💯🗣️
Lorenzo Ward
Gene chizic is available.
Not Wes fault they were 14th against the run in acc. They wiffed. Didn't tackle good. Linebackers weren't that good. Sammy Brown should have been on field more.
Wes Goodwin is the best defensive coordinator we ever had!
At this point I wish he would retire so we can get back to competing in football and not trying to cure cancer...
10 wins a year is competing.
Smh
Easley, here
8 1/2 minutes of bs just to get to the point. The Clemson opinion show. I can tell you what Brent would say about your closed door question. “ did you see that scatty office I was given? “ Brent has made more money in three years, than 20 years of Clemson would have paid.

Bring another out of retirement...Dabo call Saban.
