It's About Pride!

Dabo Swinney, on behalf on SolidBoom.com, let me be the first to thank you for you devotion to Clemson Football, Clemson's Student-Athletes, Clemson University, and all Clemson alumni and fans. SolidBoom.com is excited to have you leading our Tigers into battle for the remainder of the season and we will support you fully.

Look forward to seeing you this Saturday ... We'll be in our Orange. GO TIGERS!

Dear Students,

I want to take time to thank Terry Don Phillips and Clemson University for the opportunity to serve as Clemson's Head Coach for the remainder of the season.

I'm extremely excited about the remaining games, particularly our next game against Georgia Tech. It is extremely important to me to engage our student body so they can get behind our team and support these players for the remainder of the season.

Student support is critical to our team and to me personally; therefore, for the Georgia Tech game, I'd like to implement our solid orange concept full force by having an orange-out for the Georgia Tech game. Our team will wear all orange for Georgia Tech and I ask you to join in by wearing orange to support the team. Additionally, we will have the first ever TigerWalk, which will begin from Perimeter Road (near Jervey Athletic Center) and continue through the parking lot (Lot #5) located behind the West End Zone as they enter the locker room to dress for the game. The team will arrive approximately at 10:00 a.m. and I ask that you show up and be loud and proud!

I also plan to invite all the students to a practice and plan for a pep rally in the near future. Student support is vital to our success and I encourage you to get behind this team and demonstrate the Clemson spirit. You will be hearing from me with regards to the pep rally and student practice invitation. We need to exemplify One Clemson.

Thank you in advance for your support and remember – Wear Orange and Go Tigers!

Go Tigers!

Am I the only one who feels a little bad that this site is designed around Muschamp? This dude seems to be have started off on the right foot.

Stolz,

I, too, am impressed with Dabo thus far, and if we can find a good leader within our own house, great. I have every hope that Dabo delivers.

The thing is, though, that no one will know for sure if he's the right man for at least several weeks. In the mean time, TDP needs to quietly keep other options in mind. Now that Bowden's out, the purpose of this site should be promoting Muschamp as the best of those other options.

I agree with stolz swinney seems to have started off right guess we will find out saturday. Does anyone know when the student practice will be? I havent been this excited about football since august.

Stolz said...

Oh, absolutely. I told someone yesterday that I would be very disappointed if a FULL SCALE national coaching search didn't take place. It needs to start in Austin, TX and should include those guys on staff in Clemson. All I know is that I can at least rest easy until that search is complete with Dabo at the helm.

hey guys... my thoughts on Foster

I'm afraid Muschamp is my second choice, but he's still AWESOME

I agree Stolz. I was fine being unsupportive of Bowden as I believe it was his time to go. He made the right move for the team though and stepped down like the classy coach that he is/was. I have mixed emotions about the site now that Dabo has stepped in and really united/fired up the fanbase. It's like a whole new season as I've got the same anticipation and excitement that I had coming into this year, only with less cautious optimism. I do believe that we shouldn't rule out others and conduct a complete and thorough coaching search, but Dabo seems to have shot himself to the forefront with the things he has said so far. I've heard he reminds those that were around then (I was too young to remember) of a certain former Bama player who was also a position coach turned head coach in the late 70s. Sorry for the novel.
