My sentiments exactly. Show me improvement and if we loose to some teams that are better I'm ok with that, but our O looks worse than most high school teams

Yes, whenever someone says it is time to move on someone inevitably uses Dabo as an example of someone that wasn't great yet in year 3... which is crap. His early teams had their ups and downs, but you saw improvement. You got the feeling (at the time) that he had a high ceiling.
On the other hand, Mac... the best we are ever going to be is mediocre. Maybe we'll win the east while everyone is down, but we won't be winning the whole thing.... and we certainly won't make the playoffs. It's a waste of time.

Welcome. It's well moderated and even most of the pumpers are decent people. You won't be called a troll for having a dissenting opinion.

He's on ignore and I would never tell a new poster to do that(put on ignore). That's pretty ****ty and people can make their own decisions.

That's silly. Youre not the kind of snowflake that needs an ignore button.
BTW, he occasionally says he knows Butters should be fired.

2 pages revolving around a straw-man argument. There has been no pumper group alignment behind the idea that Mac = Dabo. I've been swayed by MacNuss & by Dumper facts to the point I'm a Dumpette. Still, I cannot take one phrase out of context and make myself feel smarter by attacking the strawman I myself stuffed up.

Dude...you're wrong. The pumpers(especially on other sites) make this their favorite compelling reason to keep Mac. If Clemson fired Dabo after three seasons they would not have the coach they do today. The problem is that he took over in the middle of the season. No one would fire a guy after 2.5 years so even us dumpers would have acknowledged "one more year". He won the ACC and ten games in his third full season. He was a keeper at that point.
It's bull**** and I wanted the pumpers to stop using Dabo circumstance as a reason to keep Mac when they conveniently leave out the facts.
If you haven't heard this you may want to get out more. Just saying dude.

Early on (after the first Bama SEC beatdown) in the great howling for Mac's firing, one poster just urged that point of patience. He made it part, just a part, of his point that Saban's first year at Bama was 7-6. The dumpers immediately started the straw argument against all aligning with patience as pumpers claiming Mac was as good as Sabin.??
Nobody ever believed or said any such thing.
I'm certainly not a pumper, but this I have observed, positive posters come forth one at a time with their posts. Whereas, dumpers negate in a flowing flood of posts. That's just the way it has been. But after the 1st game, no "group" of pumpers remain ... now, it's just individual rational posters saying that we're stuck with McNCrew so accept don't degrade the wins and wait out what you can do nothing about without dragging it out worse. Is that an inaccurate description?
