Reverend Dabo Swinney (HC Clemson Tigers - GSCS), random mid-century cars, and steroids

Reminds me of something Cam Cameron said after losing to Ohio State 31-0 in 1997, on the heals of having lost 38-6 to Sparty and 37-0 to scUM the preceding two weeks - "We're only a couple of plays away from having won those games." That week Indiana went on to get blasted by Iowa 62-0.

Dabo is John Cooper

Everyone older than their 20s should remember him. John Cooper was a good recruiter, and built Ohio State's talent level to an insanely good level. They would seemingly begin the year every season in the Top Five and would go undefeated, they would be in the national title picture every year...until they played Michigan. Lloyd Carr was hated by a lot of Michigan fans, but he owned John Cooper's ass.

What happened to Cooper? He got fired for it. Ohio State fans wouldn't put up with losing the national title to Michigan every season, and they got rid of him for Jim Tressel.

Right now Dabo Swinney is our John Cooper. He is the first Clemson coach to lose 5 straight to Sakerlina. Think about that. We've had some shitty coaches come through here and none ever lost five straight to Sakerlina. I never thought I'd live long enough to see the day when it happened. Losing one year here or there is tolerable. I could even deal with losing every other year if they were a good team, but five? No. That is unacceptable at Clemson, and I don't care if Dabo has it easier than West or Bowden. That is an excuse. He's taken three 10 win teams and another division champion and blown it against SC.

Pretty good comparison, IMO.

Especially this part:

We handled all the teams we should've beaten but our best statistical QB ever and several 1st round NFL picks couldn't beat the one team we want to beat the most. What I just saw on the field tonight was akin to flopping your dick out, putting on metal cleats, and stomping all over it. We handed a ballgame over because we can't manage to get our shit together against a SC team that could barely beat Florida.

I know that feeling.

Rumors are out there about OC Chad Morris being a candidate for the Wake Forest HC vacancy. That could let a lot of air out of the Clemson balloon as his arrival coincides with their recent surge...as does Tajh Boyd, who is also gone.

Believe it or not, I find myself comparing Hoke to John Cooper. In addition to his well known loses to UM and the bowl games, Cooper would show with his team unprepared and lose to a bum at least one a year. I believe, Coop went 9-3 one year, and got taken to the showers at Ped State 63-14.

Not sure I like that comparison. Hoke's a buffoon, but he "gets" the rivalry. He just can't do anything about it. Coop never "got" it.
