Frustration with T-Net Analysts

Somebody help me understand all the negative comments about our coaching Staff and game plan. The reality is, our Tigers went up against the 4th best team in the country and took them to overtime. Yet there should not have been an overtime. Clemson up by 7 and driving to go up 14 when our offensive line and running back allow a blind side sack and Cade fumbles the ball. Instead of being up by 14 the game is tied. None of that is coaching or game plan. Even so, we are tied with under a minute to go and we attempt a chip shot fired goal from their 15 yard line. We ##### and moan because Dabo won’t use the portal yet he went out and brought in the best kicker he knew. Yet we missed the chip shot that would have won the game. Granted, the play calls in OT were questionable but we shouldn’t have been there. The reality is, our Achilles heel is still, and has been for 20 years, our offensive line. In past years our QB and receivers were dominant enough that we could outrun that weakness. But why can’t we fix it? And yes, I question the coaching Staff in that regard. However, the single greatest missing piece in the Clemson Tiger’s puzzle is a “Hunter Renfro” type receiver. How many times did he save us when it was “3rd and Renfro?” And Hunter didn’t come thru the portal. He was a walk in! So let’s quit calling for the coaching Staff to be replaced. Dabo is still in the top 5 coaches in the country and he hired the best OC in the country last year. I hope both will stick around a long time. But they all deserve our support win, lose or draw. The painful reality is we need Florida State to be good again since we aren’t getting out of the ACC anytime soon. And when they are good we can’t expect to beat them every year. Go Tigers!!!

Coaching errors...

1) going 3-down on D and letting Travis's arm take FSU right down the field to end the 1H.
2) conservative QB runs and a misdirection to the TE (the "trick" play, not really though) that was supposed to be an easy completion. We were scared to turn the ball over instead of attacking the middle of the field.
3) giving Cade an RPO instead of a straight handoff on 3 & 1.
The fumble, scoop and score was bad luck. Happens.
But the most crucial parts of the game are usually the end of each half, and Wes blew it in the 1H, and Riley blew it in the 2H.

At the end of regulation we didn't try to get in the end zone and settled for a FG attempt with an inexperienced kicker-and in OT our OC went brain dead---4-5 in the last 9 games sucks

coaching, as in running back blocking, or NOT blocking in that case.
We got spoiled back during our first title run by having Wayne Gallman in our backfield, who was probably the best BLOCKING running back we have ever had.
Offensive blocking overall is certainly not measuring up to the supposed talent level that we are recruiting at. And that, too is coaching, be it weight room, line coaching, back coaching, or all of the above.

...to see that we are on a spiral?
Some of you seem so thick-skulled. USC, UT, Duke, FSU...some VERY ugly losses in there and you question people who think our team is not good?
Results! You either WIN or LOSE. It's simple.

We only scored 7 pts the entire 2nd half! That won’t win you many games I don’t care who you are
