I have a bad feeling about CG. He seems like an incredibly nice guy but

I sometimes feel like CG thinks he has escaped the rigours of the NFL for a more relaxed job in college.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Actually, a coaching job in the D-1 college ranks is more rigorous than being a coordinator in the NFL. In the NFL, the off-season is much more relaxed; there is an actual off-season. There is no real off-season in college ball. Recruiting, summer camps, booster clubs, keeping up with players' class work and attendance all contribute to the rigors of the job. In season, the NFL coach deals with a daily work schedule with men whose only job is to play football. In college, all is scheduled around classes, NCAA imposed practice limitations, and total weekly contact hours.

I don't think CG took the job so he could ride the gravy train. I believe he is here to win. I'm extremely disappointed in the loss; we should have won. But you have to give it a chance to work.
 
I agree with ncjacket.

BD 1998, UNC 1999, NCSU 2000, Clemson last year, UVA last year and others were games that looked just this bad -- and those teams were not IMO as good as this year's Clemson team. We also looked worse against Maryland last year.

Special teams not this bad before? Remember giving up two special teams TD's to Clemson in the Valley two years ago?

Clemson's defense has played LIGHTS OUT for three games in a row.

It may not be much of a salve, but I think Clemson will go 9-3 this year, maybe even 10-2. They will lose to FSU in Tally, but they get virtually everyone else on their schedule who is any good at home.

We've lost to much worse teams in the last five seasons.

I'm not saying I'm not disappointed with the game, and therefore with Coach Gailey since he's the guy in charge.

But I thought it would be a war to start with, and while there were a lot of negatives, I saw some good things too. If there hadn't been anything good at all, we would have lost 31-0, not 24-19 and driving with 90 seconds left. We had a shot.
 
Good gosh everyone, why are you worried? Chan Gailey comes in here a great guy and he is a great coach to go with it. We came into Clemson too hyped and just because of one loss you are worried? man that just isnt right. When oleary lost to Maryland and clemson last year you werent being a baby and crying- "IM worried or we are gunna be bad. Yeah, no one did. Thats why i am posting this. CG will succeed BELIEVE IN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go jackets!!
