Steve Addazio 2016 Goes to help his friend Urban Meyer.


Nov 5, 2018, 5:43 PM

Plan for us in the CFP Semifinal game. That year Dabo destroyed both BC and O310 st for a combined score of 87-10. Just because it didn't help Meyer doesn't excuse it.
Last year Clemson thumped ol BC 34-10. Letting Addazio know he still isn't in our league.And I'd like to think Dabo's paypack of sorts.

Regardless of all the hype and talk of "Trap Game" this is a Championship Game. A Dabo led Clemson team is going to take BC to the woodshed again Saturday night. Leaving Addazio with that dumb look on his face once more. I don't care if there is a lovefest for BC. Addazio burned that bridge in 2016.

GO TIGERS!!!

Steve Addazio helped his friend Urban Meyer.


Nov 5, 2018, 5:50 PM

Wow! I didn't know that. Addazio has been one of the coaches in the ACC I respected the most! I guess if Addazio had done that(helped Meyer in previous years) for bowl prep; that's one thing. If he did it b/c he has "some sort of beef with Clemson/Dabo that's another"! Do you know if that's the case?
Where did you get that?

it was one of those quick takes on ESPN in 2016

During the 2016 Fiesta Bowl Week preparation. I've never forgotten because at the time I was laughing. Thinking how was Addazio going to help Meyer? Turns out us Tigers got the last laugh indeed.

The way we spanked 0310 state maybe the old BC coach lead him down the wrong path - he actually helped Dabo?

As a BC fan, I agree, that wasn't a cool move by Addazio. He's not very popular among BC fans. But Dabo doing an onsides kick in 2016 when Clemson was blowing out BC wasn't cool either.

I can see how that might raise the ire of the BC faithful as I wouldn't like it either. No excuses here but I certainly see Dabo coaching for 4 quarters more and more now and using tons of players. I think the beast of college football requires it now to be at the top. For years we never put our foot on the throat when up and it cost us sometimes.

Go Tigers!!!

Its a cool story, but why take offense? I would hope Chad


Nov 5, 2018, 8:26 PM

Morris helped Dabo with any insight he may have if we were playing an SEC W team. Who cares? Nothing wrong with coaches helping one another.

Agreed. Plus I kinda like addazio

Seems to have a serious fire about him and he’s done well at a difficult place to win

Addazio worked for Meyer at Florida and this appears to me to be a case of helping out an old boss - maybe Addazio felt he owed Meyer something (coaching job/break?) or didn't feel like he could turn him down.

I can give Addazio a pass on this as a one time deal (should not ever do it again) but still don't think it was a good move to help another coach in another conference gameplan against a team in your own conference. At the end of the day - the further Clemson went in the CFP the more money would be coming into the ACC and by distribution to Boston College. Not a smart thing to help defeat your own conference champ to lesson your conference revenue cut of the pie...

If you watched the coaches broadcast of our 2016 National Championship win, Addazio and Babers were two of the coolest cats in the room and seemed to be genuinely happy for Clemson and Dabo winning the whole thing.

If Addazio did actually confer with Meyer, his advice apparently had no effect on the outcome of the game unless he gave instructions to the field goal kicker how to miss one wide right and the other wide left.
