Dino Babers gave up. And that is absolutely inexcusable.

[Rocco]

Why did I waste 3 hours on a Saturday to watch that disaster when our HC doesn’t even finish the game?!

An absolute slap in the face to the fanbase and the players.

Officially on the fence now with DB.

I’ve been a big Dino fan , this is hard to defend

Impossible to defend.

Even if we can’t win the game, there is a reason teams play in garbage time. Try to get the ball back to just get some reps of SOMETHING.

 

[Stevenson]

Now I know why Dino asked everyone to close their eyes at the original press conference. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a coach give up on a game with three minutes left. Does he have an Edsall thing in his contract where he gets paid for not taking timeouts?

next.

 

[SUFan44]

We’ve scored one touchdown in two games and you think we can score twice in two minutes. Be realistic. He can’t afford any more injuries.

No. You do not quit.

 

[SURules]

”Belief without Evidence” hahahahaha

Stop it.

 

[PhatOrange]

Dino didn’t quit stop it. That’s nuts. That’s not the reason they lost. The offense sucks and calling the TO’s just prolongs the loss. Wind the clock, get out and go home, get nobody else hurt.

we just played 2 ranked teams to open the season. Regroup and open the Dome.

I have zero problem getting the game over.

You don’t watch the clock bleed with 3 TO’s in your pocket.
Injuries? Seriously?

You don’t quit. And his players will question it.

 

[orange_in_VA]

Disgraceful. Worse than the offensive display of offense this year.

Having a 2% chance of something happening is always better than a 0% chance.

 

[SUforme]

I just don't know how you can justify this to the team, recruits, fans, I just don't know what to think.

 

[DomeStranger]

He actually gave up in first half, there were plenty of signs that he knew we couldn't win.

Either Babers is the worst coach in the ACC, or he got the call from the ACC and was told to lay down.

 

[Tobias Funke]

so we end that game with a loss regardless. That said you either finish the game fighting or lying down. He chose lying down, and left his defense out on the field in that situation where they knew they were just there to run out the clock.

 

[JrodCuse]

I'm blaming Devito. 32 yards is an embarassment for a starting QB. He looks like he doesn't know how to throw a pass anymore. It's crazy.

 

[Newhouser]

His game and clock management have been bad since he's been here. That said he quit today and I want no more lectures, excuses, blind faith has been used up. He -HCDB - needs to get better at his job or ADJW will need to prove he's good at his.

 

[syrBossHogg]

That was my only new takeaway from this game, and it is VERY concerning

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think he felt the offense quit in this game. He might be sending a message. I’m sure he’ll have a reason.

 

[SUFan44]

Dino quit stop it. That’s nuts. That’s not the reason they lost. The offense sucks and calling the TO’s just prolongs the loss. Wind the clock get out and go home, gett nobody else hurt.

You're wrong. I don't care what message you want to send. If you're worried about injuries, why are you even playing the games then?

You don't quit.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I think he felt the offense quit in this game. He might be sending a message. I’m sure he’ll have a reason.

Can’t wait to hear it.

 

[JSOrange97]

I can’t believe what I just witnessed.

 

[PAcuse]

I get we wouldn’t score twice but we have to call the time outs.
Mods will earn double this week, going to be rough one, be nice folks.

 

[rocfan44]

I think he knew the ineptitude of this offense and did what he thought was best. Bottom line HE QUIT on his team. It is no excuse and doesn’t give these kids any confidence at all. I don’t think I have seen a coach do that before. I am anxious to hear his explanation if anyone has the balls to ask him.

 

[anomander]

Inexcusable

your defense who played their hearts out are on the field trying to get the ball Back and your HC quits with 3 timeouts and 3mins to go in a 2 score game

should have kicked a FG too to make it a 1 score game
