This is all probably true, and I don’t think that it’s unrealistic to say he’s probably the best coach we can get, but we’ve also taken a pretty big step back in year 10 and last year wasn’t that amazing either so I can understand the frustration of a lot of people.

ok, every program takes a step back every now and then (when an all ACC QB moves on in particular), even with good coaches at the helm, last year we had 8 wins, I know it was a dissapointing 8 wins but that's probably still in like a top 10 WFU seasons lol

look at Clemson, with a coach making like 5x as much as Clawson and infinitely more resources at their disposal

It’s also annoying we have a decent defense the first year our offense is horrible in forever

Defensive penalties killed us this game.

 

[cookoutdeac]

I just don’t know why some of you simp so hard for the status quo when you just watched the same thing we all just witnessed.

because I think the blame is being misplaced entirely here (griffis), should be on boneheaded players making boneheaded mistakes (jones), and kickers missing tiny lil chip shots

 

[deacdiggler]

Clawson had a bad night and this season has sucked but to call for firing him is some of the dumbest shit you’re gonna see on these here message boards

Don’t sell our idiot fans short

But not the bonehead int where the QB couldn’t hold onto the ball?

it's a fluke play 🤷‍♂️

he was being trusted to make a play at least, running counter to your inane #narrative

 

[cookoutdeac]

I mean it was fucking 3rd and 22 and we do a stupid PI on a ball that wasn't catchable in all likelihood

I’m not disagreeing with any of that. I’m just saying at this point after this loss and a decade at the helm where we’ve finished 500 or better in the acc in 3 seasons, I absolutely understand the frustrations of the fan base.

I hate to say but that was Jones Jones Jones. Pass interference, personal foul. He got burned on that touchdown too.

Hard to account for 2 easy fg misses too.

LOSE?

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

It’s a combination of all of it, and Griffis is still a large piece of that puzzle. The dude went and put on a glove for the first time all season and then precedes to immediately turn the ball over almost certainly caused by wearing said glove. Like what the fuck is that. That’s definitely of equal blame to throwing a player to the ground that doesn’t get called 50% of the time.

the PI was worse than the personal foul tbh, that was a bit of homecooking (honestly so was the fucking spot they had already been ready to give him for the first down on that catch, considering we had a very similar catch to that that was ruled a yard short earlier in the game)

 

[mako1331]

What has been our biggest non conference win under Clawson in the regular season?

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

Yeah agree with that, the PI was probably the worst of all of it, especially because that wasn’t going to be caught.

Fluke is a great way to remove the blame. 2 big turnovers in the 2nd half didn’t do much to endear him to a fan base who doesn’t trust him. There were alot of opportunities to win this game, but we pissed it away. You can keep down voting all the Clawson comments as well but this is still a poorly coached team that loses to inferior opponents.

meh, you fucking had Mitch's o/u on throws completed in the first half at like 4 and he did a looot better than that (iirc was like 12/12 for 150 yards and ran for a great TD), just can't admit when you're wrong at all per usual, no wonder @Mt. Olive doesn't want to engage with you

 

[DeacInVermont]

@Donkey Deac Doug being the hero we need to polish the turd of that Game Thread

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

I will admit the sports board regulars are fucking insane, yes propose replacing Clawson with Josh Gattis, and that dumb as shit idea getting likes.

 

[TownieDeac]

It’s a game we deserved to win and a lot of really dumb shit went wrong

Sucks our bowl streak is coming to a (likely) end but let’s rebuild
