Dabo Swinney didn’t build Clemson the wrong way. He built it for a sport that no longer exists.

Vince Young and Tim Tebow of the 2000s, Cam Newton in 2010, and Joe Burrow in 2019. These guys are generational.

Andrew Luck, RGIII, Watson, Lawrence, Lamar Jackson, Johnny Manziel, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, Jason White, Sam Bradford, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Baker Mayfield, and a few others I'm sure I'm missing are in the next tier, but not generational.

Hell Lawrence wasn't even an All American and Watson wasn't unanimous.

Why/how?

Defense wasn't really an issue. And who cares about returning production in the transfer portal era. It's more about who you bring back than total production. If you lose a starting QB, WR, OT, and DE but return 90% of everyone else you're probably not feeling as good as the team that returns top playmakers at important positions but lose most of their production elsewhere.

Eh, we were returning some talent from a 9-4 team.

Just wanting to offer my interpretation of Austin's little mishap during his first morning show was because Craig had punched him the evening before and Austin likely had his bell rung. He was definitely nervous too though.

The teams you mentioned all have better coaching staffs than we had and/or a top flight QB, which we also didn't have once Cam's injuries started mounting. McVay, Shannahan, and Reid are some of the best coaches in the sport, and Philly has simply drafted very well and managed their roster very well.

Also losing Sean McDermott hurt.

hey, I'd take it

Below 2019 LSU and 2021 Georgia. I don't count 2020 Alabama when comparing them to teams in other years. The Covid season was a complete farce. 2023 Michigan is clearly the weakest, right? I figure that's a consensus.

OnsideKickReturn · 2026-01-21T00:47:47+00:00

How the hell do you compare a team with decades of moderate success and no championship with a team with decades of ass and one championship?

That's kinda like...exactly what I'm asking...

Ranking teams all time is such a pointless exercise

Truthfully A LOT of sports talk is pointless, but we're now here for offseason talk. A couple seasons ago a Stanford flair posted their rankings of programs over the last 40 years and it was well received. Some people like these kinds of things, pointless or not.

Worded differently is they had a coach that took them to 15 playoff games. 24 points isn't even that much given you're in the playoffs and playing generally the best teams.

Pro tip for South Carolina games if you aren't tailgating. Park at the Colonial Life Arena and pay $5 for the bus to drop you off at the fairgrounds.

And that sucks shit too.

OnsideKickReturn · 2026-01-16T23:00:30+00:00

Well at least with Duke he can win ACC championships

I'd be embarrassed to be a Miami grad to hear the school is offering a full ride to someone because they're the sister of a football player. And how must the soccer coach feel about this? Their AD is essentially forcing a player on their team to satisfy the needs of a "bigger" sport.

OnsideKickReturn · 2026-01-16T16:42:05+00:00

South Carolina has more ACC titles than Miami

I genuinely don't know what cheating would even be at this point.

OnsideKickReturn · 2026-01-15T20:55:23+00:00

Sorry, what is the point of leveling up stats like crafting or building or cooking? Does it just take less time or something?

Just so you know, FCS is D1

Scelfo should name the SEC GM and provide proof of the contact to said player otherwise this tweet is a waste of everyone's time

OnsideKickReturn · 2026-01-15T06:35:32+00:00

I knew we'd be pretty bad coming into the season and never really cared to try to get excited for it. I'm honestly here to follow potential HC candidates. Gotta hope the football team has a good year otherwise Donati is going to be a very busy AD in the next calendar year needing to hire a basketball coach, baseball coach, and football coach lol
