(8-5). Ouch.
Year 3: An ACC Title probably wouldn't be enough to overcome the fact that he lost 4 of his final 6 games... including a 3rd consecutive loss to arch-rival South Carolina and the infamous 70-33 loss in the Orange Bowl to West Virginia.
Dabo averaged 5.3 losses per season during his first three years. That plus an 0-3 record in those years against South Carolina would not have kept him around at literally half of the SEC scho
this is evidence Clemson has a better athletic deparmtnet now compared to SEC schools.
but again,, this isn't proof that it is less of a pressure cooker. i can tell u Dabo was feeling the pressure especially after losing to SC 5 years in a row.
u guys act like the school doesn't have to pay a lot of money to break a contract with a coach. CLemson probably would ahve moved on to another coach sooner if not for the contract. I think CU is still paying Bowden.

If by "better athletic deparmtnet" you mean allowing coaches to hang around and lose 5+ games per season, then yes, you are correct.
Obviously the SEC could learn from other schools that sometimes coaches don't reach their prime years until Year 5 or 6.... usually they are long gone by then in the SEC if they hadn't been winning already. So you are right about that.
So why do coaches not get that long to try to win in the SEC.... MORE PRESSURE.
Thanks for proving everyone right.

Ummm. Go do some digging on Auburn paying ex-coaches and you'll see its the norm for them to have 3 or more former coaches on the payroll at any given time.
If your program expects to win, a buyout is irrelevant no matter what the cost.

When you only have to get up for two games a year, it is easy to look like a contender. If Clemson had played UA or LSU schedule this year, they would not have played in the playoffs. Even as bad as the SEC was this year.
