Clemson hasn’t even reached the locker room, but Tiger fans have already reached their breaking point. With Dabo Swinney’s team trailing 10-0 to Georgia Tech in the second quarter, social media erupted with frustration, sarcasm, and open calls for accountability.
“Man we also need to place blame on Dabo. This is your program. That you have let regressed… this is disappointing to watch,” one fan tweeted.
Another fan cut right to the chase: “How is Clemson even ranked? Dabo Swinney just doesn’t have it anymore.”
From Dynasty to Disappointment
The same man who led Clemson to two national titles is now being accused of letting the program slide into mediocrity.
“Dabo can’t just continue to get good recruiting classes and then not develop players,” wrote one user. “It’s so apparent he’s not doing a good job. Can we stop holding onto the past and look at his current coaching? It’s terrible.”
“Dabo has been irrelevant since Trevor Lawrence left,” another fan declared.
The Hot Seat Talk Begins
Fans aren’t mincing words about where they think this is heading.
“Dabo should be on the hot seat if he can’t win with this team – far too talented to look this mediocre,” one post read.
Another was more blunt: “Fire Dabo.”
One frustrated Tiger supporter admitted, “Dabo is why I can’t stomach Clemson.”
National Eyes Join the Pile-On
It’s not just Tiger fans noticing. Awful Announcing mocked the moment: “Those hopes were quickly erased for Dabo Swinney and Clemson vs Georgia Tech.”
Barstool Sports also got in on the action, replaying Swinney’s quote about “holding the goal line” seconds before Georgia Tech scored.
And one rival fan summed up the sentiment outside Clemson country: “Nobody does less with more than Dabo.”
A Crisis in Real Time
The second quarter isn’t even over, but the court of public opinion has already delivered its verdict. Clemson fans aren’t just upset about the score — they’re questioning whether their coach, once untouchable, has lost the program’s edge entirely.
As one viral post put it: “Okay seriously, can we talk about firing Dabo, now?”
