Dabo

[syrBossHogg]

Things seem to be going well at Clemson...

 

[UpstateSM]

He's unraveling. You hate to see it.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Lots of coaches feeling the heat right now. Dino is cool under pressure, gotta give him that.

 

[KellySyracuse]

wow, the ego is massive here

 

[cusefan88]

God's NIL.

 

[atlanticuse]

He may have lost to Syracuse if not for Wax's stupidity out of bounds.

 

[orangencpolice]

I like Dabo. I think he is a class act and like most of us hates losing.

 

[690West]

I like Dabo. I think he is a class act and like most of us hates losing.

Yeah. I’m surprised with people hammering him on this. He’s won 2 titles in 7 years!! Have Clemson fans lost their minds? He’s probably worth more than the $11.5m a year.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

We would love to be bowl eligible and competitive in most games. They are coming off an unprecedented 12 year run of success with 2 national titles. It makes college football fandom so fascinating. I swear my grandfather liked the Red Sox less after they won in 2004. He didn't have anything to complain about for a year

 

[elimunelson]

Clemson fans are crazy people and i fully expect them to drive Dabo out of there shortly. I always hoped he'd end up at Alabama when Saban hangs it up.

Be careful what you wish for Clemson...

 

[GreekFreak]

He ain't wrong. They have been fantastic under Dabo's leadership. I will say that he does need to adapt to the changed environment of NIL and the transfer portrayal or he will be gone. This is a what have you done for me lately business. He shouldn't be taking stuffe for one bad year.

He is most definitely feeling the heat.

Yeah, Dabo. The fans have a HUGE part in you going 4-4.

 

[upperdeck]

There is a reason you dont go very deep with finding teams that have extended runs of really good play that go 10+ yrs. Look how FSU/Miami/Neb fell after really high peeks as well. Alabama had a huge downturn, Texas has had one. USC has had one. Fans who expect it to never end are gonna fail.

Its like NE fans now that they are not the tip top team they were for almost 20 yrs.

 

[BigNastyJon]

I like Dabo. I think he is a class act and like most of us hates losing.

I generally like him too, and as someone who supported Boeheim my whole life I won’t judge a coach by a bad interview

 

[kcsu]

Dabos response was solid. As usual things taken out of context unless you listen to his entire response. Unless you are Saben who has the same work ethic as Paul P did you just cant keep replacing good coaches. That more than the portal is Clemson's issue.

 

[Cuse181]

wow, the ego is massive here

I would be pretty annoyed too if I brought a school their best string of seasons in history, including 2 Natl Championships, and then my first real "Down" year I am being told I don't deserve my salary.

[NKR1978]

Clemson fans are insane if they pile on him. No one else is winning two national championships at Clemson.

I'll add a caveat in that his NIL position is outdated and he needs to get with the program on that and transfers if he wants to succeed, but he's obviously a great coach.

It's also easy to be classy when you're winning 11+ games a year. It's a lot harder when you're 4-4 and your fanbase is restless.

 

[BKCuse]

Nah we would’ve found a way to blow it

Fair.

But you have to be careful how to respond. With SM the way it is now, stuff like this is going to fly.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Yeah. I’m surprised with people hammering him on this. He’s won 2 titles in 7 years!! Have Clemson fans lost their minds? He’s probably worth more than the $11.5m a year.

It's that fan mentality that allows him to be worth $11.5 m a year though.

 

[kcsu]

As JW would say.. Coach has a lot of good will built up.

 

[Eric15]

I agree with Dabo here. Clemson fans are insane for not appreciating what he's done for them.

 

[corpjet]

Scott Shafer and I think the same way about Dabo..

F You Dabo!

 

[Cusefan69]

It's that fan mentality that allows him to be worth $11.5 m a year though.

It's more the ADs protecting successful assets from being poached. ADs have created their own "arms race " with the help of coaches agents.
