I think 98 was darker. The team basically quit that year, just going through the motions. I'm still seeing effort out of this team. That could change as the season goes on.

Clemson won't win the National Championship this year. Their defense is not as good and Trevor Lawrence is not showing improvement. I wouldn't be surprised in them getting shocked in a road conference game.Was Clemson winning national championships at will during these other days, with no stopping in sight? Not to mention the fact that none of our fans could even tell you when we can even HOPE to beat them.
Believe me this is our darkest hour.

They had their lulls last year, but their talent level and experience especially on defense was different. I actually think they will even have a tougher time with us unless our guys have quit by then. Logan Rudolph and Jamie Skalski are not some of the guys they were trotting out there last year.Yea. I said the same thing last year.

Hardly. Guess you weren`t around for 0-21, when we tore down the goalposts after beating New Mexico State.
Watched every game. They haven't played a good team yet and don't even mention A&M. A&M's offense couldn't do anything against Auburn at home either. Clemson is good, but they are not strike fear good, Their defensive line was so good last year that you didn't stand a chance. They have had to beat you more with scheme this year.This comment is stupid. They have steamrolled 3 p5 teams and haven’t even played well. Have you seen their defense? It’s different but still dominant. The game against A&M wasn’t remotely close. When they beat UNC by 50, we will know exactly how big the separation is.

My point is people claiming this is Carolina's darkest hour because Clemson is so good. Actually, Clemson has not played as good as some think just because they are No.1. Further, people are so disappointed in our start that they are just throwing the team in the trash when they have had periods of competitive football. Bentley hits a wide open Shi Smith in Charlotte and people would have a somewhat more positive outlook. Carolina just needs a win going into the bye week.What is your point with this Clempson crap as ii relates to us? You think we will beat them? Please tell me that is your point. Or is 21 points close enough.
Darkest hour? Who knows.
Distance behind our neighbors... NEVER further than right freakin now!

Need to start managing his staff for him and give him lots of University busywork to do. Move the guys out that are not performing and find other football minds. He can't do it and paying this buyout is out of the question. No way we pay him 18 million for failing- he can earn that money by sitting in the hot seat for the next two years; burning through all his coaching credibility.
That's the best we can do right now.
Heyward is right, we are in dire straights right now.
PS- hurt QB is no excuse for this coach. Not in year 4. That's why you develop backups and manage your team properly.
I’m thankful to be a Clemson grad as well. At least one of my teams brings me joy.
I was at that game. In the Zone. In those days I didn’t have to worry about seeing our two biggest rivals on ESPN constantly. We sucked but so did they. I’d rather be in that situation than the one we are in now.

That's kind of the trajectory we're currently on right now, wouldn't you say?This is not even close to 1998. At least you have some positions that give you hope. The defensive line is starting to look good. Kinlaw has been outstanding all year. I like Ernest Jones at Middle Linebacker. I think we have our QB. I think a decent coach could come in and win with this group right now. Back in 1998, we were so bad that I wouldn't watch the games because I knew we would get smoked by 3-4 TD's by everybody.
No. It's not worse.
No. It is not. In 1998, our team quit. There were racial divisions in the huddle and in-fighting between cliques (actually gangs -one of which was formed around the Hambricks). I mean actual fights.
This team has not quit (yet). We have some players out there giving it all. They are just being poorly coached.
My point is people claiming this is Carolina's darkest hour because Clemson is so good. Actually, Clemson has not played as good as some think just because they are No.1. Further, people are so disappointed in our start that they are just throwing the team in the trash when they have had periods of competitive football.

How will you respond to this dumpster fire?
i will take UNC and 49 for $100.00.. you in??This comment is stupid. They have steamrolled 3 p5 teams and haven’t even played well. Have you seen their defense? It’s different but still dominant. The game against A&M wasn’t remotely close. When they beat UNC by 50, we will know exactly how big the separation is.
