I don't think folks realize Dabo has been at Clemson since 2003. He's built that program for 14 years. Also he has an easy path to the playoffs every year. In 5 more years he'll likely have 2-3 more conference titles and a couple playoff appearances. That's going to be hard for him to leave, similar to Jimbo.

That "easy" path has required us to be at least 2 SEC teams every year unless we have ND on the schedule...I believe Auburn has frequently been one of those SEC teams..Even USC under Spurrier had a helluva run when SOS actually was into coaching and building the program.

It seems Alabama has a much easier path when Only one SEC team last year one more than 10 games and I believe most had at least 4 losses?

Well, few things about Jimbo that are different than Dabo situation.

1) LSU didn't offer what they should have for Jimbo, or else he'd be there right now
2) Jimbo was ready to go to AU in 2013 but it didn't work out
3) Jimbo has a child with health concerns that factors into all of his decisions. Dabo doesn't have that factor to consider
4) Jimbo and wife recently divorced and neither went to LSU. Dabo and his wife have been together virtually all their lives, both grew up in Birmingham, both graduated from Bama.

I get the point you're trying to make, but it's just not the same scenario.

Jimbo isn't a gump from Pelham that's got too much bammer in him.
