I know people hate the HBC, but....

... I have always liked that kind of confidence-based sarcasm and jabs. It's fun. I hate that it's directed at us, but I have to admit, if he had been hired by Clemson, I'd love this guy's ability to get under the competition's skin. That said, lets beat him like a redheaded stepchild and shut him up for the next 9 months.

My Dad played at Clemson and I grew up loving the Tigers and going to every game. My blood runs orange. However, if we ever hired Steve Spurrier it would test my loyalty.
I just think the leaders of programs should act like leaders with class, character, and respect for all opponents. His willingness to take shots at other programs and people show how classless and insecure he is.
You win with class and you lose with class - Spurrier does neither. They'll never ask me of course, but I would never support hiring someone with his personality - I don't care how many games he might win.

Morals and integrity?
The impact of your message may be diminished a tad, given your sig picture is of a clemson player kicking a defenseless person, who is laying face down on the ground, in the head.

yeah, that's it. Spurrier says "we got our butts beat" when describing a loss. Other coaches use the "we didn't play our game approach." Get my drift.
So comedic quick hits in a good natured ribbing are integrity issues? Got it.

and then, he's thrown his players under the bus after losses more times than I can count.
Besides, his lack of integrity is evident in so many areas in the way he handles his players.

And you do NOT make a mockery of law enforcement by staging a false arrest at practice!! Shows no respect for the law and says "hey, I'm on your side guys, regardless of what you did or will do." Don't try to tell me OBS did not know the players were staying at the Whitney either. I will bet his wife sent them all Christmas cards and you have to have an address list to do that! And what about some discipline for a COACH who urinates on Main Street in Downtown Greenville. Can you imagine what would happen if it had been one of ours doing that down in Five Points? Er, I guess that would improve the smell though.

My dislike for Spurrier started when he was the biggest loudmouth in college football while living in Gainesville, FL.
He was a pompous wanker then, and now he is a pompous wanker who coaches a group of thugs and outlaws (with some few exceptions).
I don't believe in "win at all costs".

good football coach, then Spurrier would be about as good as any. Fortunately, that is not the case (contrary to what many believe), and as long as there are great football coaches who are not giant A-Holes, I'd rather have one of them. A-Holeness has nothing to do with winning - zip, zero, nada, and having a giant A-hole as the face of your football program says a lot about your university.

I don't mind the coaches having a little fun with each other. I don't mind the rival coach saying things about Clemson. It's his passive-aggressive act that I can't respect. Don't say something and then act like you didn't. Don't insinuate something just so you have an out if people call you on the true meaning.

Because it wasn't him... That was Todd Ellis as time ran out of the game, during a broadcast. Not hard to research. The only thing he said was, "smart people don't believe everything they hear. I guess Dabo believed it."

Dabo didn't give a crap who said it. He just responded back to who ever said it with the facts. And facts are one thing the coots have a terrible problem facing head on. If the facts were sugar coated with defensive reasons and excuses, their O k with that. Like they won b/c we fumbled the ball. Or, they won b/c OUR QB threw to many int's, or the reffs screwed us. Sugar coat all their losses to us with excuses of somebody else's fault. Their losses are always other than their teams just wasn't good enough to beat Clemson, Navy, Vandy, or any body they lose to.

If you don't think Dabo's rant was along the same lines as what you claim to be in such disfavor of, then you are not being honest.
That said, I know plenty of SCAR fans who disliked Spurrier as much as any fan base could because he destroyed SCAR while at Florida, but that of course all changed once he was hired. If Clemson had hired Spurrier after Bowden left then there would have been tremendous support for it amongst Clemson fans....he's only loathed now because he coaches at the rival. Any school's fan base wants to win, that is first and foremost, and hopefully the coach does it without cheating and with good character.
Clemson has more football tradition, more aesthetic appeal and easier schedule than SC typically and I am convinced that had Spurrier been the coach at Clemson for the last 8 years Clemson would be 8-0 against SCAR over that span, have at least 4 ACC championships and likely have played in the NC game 1 or 2 times.
Consider Spurrier's hate of FSU, how domination over SCAR would have continued, the fact he won the ACC in a short stint at friggin Duke, and please tell me what would have stood in Clemson's way of going undefeated a couple or 3 to 4 times had Spurrier been coach at Clemson and not SCAR. Spurrier would be royalty at Clemson just like he is everywhere he's coached.

"If you don't think Dabo's rant was along the same lines as what you claim to be in such disfavor of, then you are not being honest."
Nonsense. What Dabo did was take the bait. And it was awesome, but it was awesome in response to yet another cowardly jab taken by Spurrier. If Dabo had done his rant, then made fun of Wake Forest football, then commented on how injuries like Lattimores happen when a coach makes a RB carry the ball too much and how he would never do that, then mocked Georgia after beating them, then mocked NCSU, then UNC, then VT...well, you get the idea. Then you're getting close to Spurrier's level.
The rest of your post is basically just your opinion. So be it. Spurrier won at Duke. I guess if we had hired Grobe after he won the ACC with FSU, VT and BC in it, we would be unstoppable.

use that one example to try to equate the two men is beyond ridiculous.
Have you ever heard Dabo bad-mouth any other program he's faced? No. He heaps praise on them, their players and their coaching staff. Remember what he said about Lattimore after the injury?
Dabo is a 44 year old coach trying to lead his team as best he can, but he's human and Spurrier can certainly get under his skin. Clearly he wasn't ready for the passive-aggressive show that Spurrier puts on. He's better at it now. Spurrier is a 68 year old veteran of the industry who has nothing to fear and just can't help himself. To compare the two men is laughable on every meaningful level.
And just to be clear, I don't hate on everything South Carolina. I didn't love Holtz but I certainly had more respect for him than I do for Spurrier. Same for Brad Scott. And Ray Tanner. Horn was a bit of a loud mouth but at least he was in a position of trying to create a name for himself.
Also, I never hated on Bobby Bowden when he was crushing us on a regular basis. Nor Beamer when he was consistently beating us. Notice that no one gets in these war of words with Saban even though he beats everyone? I wonder why that is?

Yeah Wookie, the rest of the country considers Grobe and Spurrier the same level of coach. You're allowing your opinion to be slanted by hate of all things SCAR and that by extension includes Spurrier.
Spurrier would have killed it had he been at Clemson the last 8 years. What he has done at SCAR is remarkable, down SEC or not, and he would not have had nearly the challenges at Clemson that he has had there. If Spurrier had been hired at Clemson in 2005 and spent the last 8 years dominating SCAR, winning ACC championships and playing for a couple of national championships he would be beloved amongst the fanbase and all of his zingers against the opponents would be tossed around with glee just like Dabo's rant is. That is simply the nature of any fan base.
Alabama tried to get him to leave SCAR after Saban turned them down initially but he's not worthy of Clemson....ok.

You're the one that made a big deal out of him winning in 1989 at Duke. If that's relevant, then Grobe's ACC Championship in 2006 is even more so. The ACC Grobe won in was just seven years ago and included FSU, Miami and VT. Spurrier's Duke Championship is 24 years ago and had none of those teams.
So, here we are:
You think Dabo's rant puts him on par with Spurrier. I say that's moronic. The two are clearly completely different people. Spurrier takes passive-aggressive jabs at all his competitors, throws his players and coaches under the bus and shows up to his TV show filming drunk. Dabo praises his competitors, supports his players and coaches and on off days he schedules his team for community service projects.
You think Spurrier would do great at Clemson and I say that that's debatable but irrelevant. He may do well, he may flounder. Every coach has an environment, and just because Spurrier did well at Florida and SC doesn't mean he'd do well at Clemson.
You think winning cures all and the fan base would love Spurrier if he was winning championships at Clemson. Certainly debatable. I can only tell you that I wouldn't. As I've already said, I don't hate on all things SC. I liked Brad Scott, tolerated Lou Holtz, respected Ray Tanner...I liked Lattimore and I like Connor Shaw (may he have the worst day of his career in a few days). Spurrier's a jerk.

Just to respond....
- Never even implied Spurrier and Dabo were similar in taking jabs at other teams, just pointed out the inconsistency in 48Gator's post.
- It really isn't debatable to probably anyone but you that Spurrier would excel at Clemson. He's won everywhere he's been in college football....you're implying it would be tougher to win at Clemson that SCAR or Duke, that's crazy.
- Winning does cure all until the HC gets slapped by the NCAA or is caught with a naked boy or a dead prostitute....but seriously, if Spurrier was winning big at Clemson I think you and the three or four others that are sure to respond to this post negatively would be the only ones that would not be a fan of him.

Man, you just proved how stupid you think. No Tiger has never said Steve wasn't a good coach. He is a good coach that wouldn't be a good fit for Clemson b/c of his personal character. But if he had been at Clemson for as long as he has been in cootlumbia. He would have another NC in his resume'. And yes, I fully believe that.

As usual, I agree w/ allorange. I can remember during the end of Bowden's era when many, many CU fans were absolutely begging for him to come here. Sure, he's an arrogant, first class a hole.....but he's a winner. Period. End of discussion. Look at what he's done for the hapless chickens. Just imagine what he could do at Clemson. Put aside the hatred for USuC and face the truth. The guy won at DUKE......

There was no bait to take! Dabo assumed Spurrier made the comment because he listened to the wrong people.

Like his old personality or not (which I despise mainly due to him beating everyone and running up the score for years), he is not the same person
The NFL, grandkids, and 15 yrs of growing up have changed him
The guy can coach or live anywhere in the US and he is in Columbia, SC, (why), he was dedicated to taking nothing and turning it into something (debatable if he has but stats are good)
He is very family oriented (at least for his own) and loves being around his grandkids. He has been good for them at this time in their history whether anyone likes him or not
Ask who hated him in the 90s, anyone who he beat or anyone who knew he would whip their team too. Sure his antics are a bit juvenile and picking on folks here and there, that is him. People across the country make fun of Dabo, but most Tiger fans want Dabo to stay true to himself and be upbeat and a rah rah guy because that is him and kids like it. Why wouldn;t you want Spurrier to be himself and just go with it. Glad he toned it down a bit. Can you imagine if he had Bobby B at Fla St down 4 in row how bad that would be on TV etc?

Jabs are one thing, Tossing players under the bus, another

He never takes blame on himself, not really. Oh sure, he might say, "I need to coach better", but when there's any specific question after a loss, he deflect and blames others.
Clowney was being thrown under the bus for not playing against Kentucky b/c Spurrier wouldn't cover for him.
Also, how is it they only have 4 or 5 Sr's? How many did they sign 4 yrs ago?

Just confirms what my Clemson buddy said earlier, he's a hardcore tiger and his exact words "we will never win until we get rid of the pansy ### attitude that our soft coach has instilled in our players and fan base." Those of you who call a person classless for good ole smack talk are the ones who have never been able to stand up and do something about it. HBC takes the blame when he does something stupid, tells the truth when someone beats our butt but is in no way shape or form a liar about stuff. If anything he's brutally honest and that's more dangerous than sugar coating lies. People always hate the person who tells it like it is when it doesn't go in their favor.

that USuC fans are losers who hang out on big brother's boards.
If you are old enough to remember Slurrier at UF then you know Gamecocks thought he was classless then. Either you all are hypocrites or you've lost what little class you used to have. Which is it?

"twitter feed and attributed to him. And once again, given his track record, I'm inclined to side with Dabo - awfully convenient to now claim that it didn't come from him."
This sums up the tribalism in football quite well. If Spurrier coached at Clemson you would be inclined to side with him.

Coots thought he was a jerk before he became their coach. Now he is their JERK, so they love him. BUT he is still a JERK. Most of America knows that.

regularly exchanged barbs. I know he does it to bring attention and build up the rivalry game like Wraslin. I guess it creates more money for the State in the long run. But I still think he's a prick.
Bobby Bowden once called Spurrier a big cry baby when he he complained about late hits by FSU.

Spurrier could never top the babo rant. Classless all the way. This is the problem with tater fans and why people laugh at you. You just ignore and act like clempson is a saint and everyone else has these issues. No, clempson has the same stuff happen. Soccer coach, jet ski, sammy smoked it, dabo acts like a fool, towel rod, and so on. Oknow somebody post bad things abour usc and justify what ckempson does. LOL. Its sad...
