re: Dabo needs to be our next coach. Period.

No Bryant is a Junior.

That was a terrible loss. Syracuse had no business being up on Clemson all half with their starting Qb in there. His playing would have improved their chances but certainly wouldnt have guaranteed them. They have looked beatable all year long. I just didnt think a shitty Syracuse team would be able to do it. They should have been able to just run the ball and play defense if they are truly a top 5 team. Which they arent.

The scary ones are the ones to Pitf and Syracuse and the like. That’s the SEC equivalent of losing to Kentucky or Missouri.

Pitt last year was a pretty good team. They also beat a very good Penn State team. They were certainly better than a typical SEC East bottom feeder. Syracuse is a bad loss, but Clemson had a banged up QB who they then lost for the entire game.

Remind me again when Oklahoma made consecutive national title games.

I don’t see a better option out there than Dabo. I like the guy. I think he’s a good person. I think he’s the obvious choice if he takes it. It’s just that if he does, Bama fans need to get ready for that one game every year against a Mississippi State or Arkansas where we don’t show up, we sleepwalk through the game and allow them to inexplicably beat a vastly superior Bama squad. It’s in his DNA.

I find it rather telling that he really came into his own as a coach on Tommy Bowden’s staff who was also notorious for playing up or down to their opponents level. And Bowden was on Curry’s staff who did it as well. It’s a learned behavior and I wish he would figure out how to overcome it.

Not at all. Virginia Tech and Auburn are very good teams. Louisville and Wake Forest are solid. The ACC is a much better conference top to bottom than the SEC right now. If you call Clemson's schedule easy, what do you say about ours so far? Florida State is the only respectable team we've played and that's under the assumption they would be much better with Francois

I think the ACC has some descent teams, but Clemson is the best of the bunch and it wasn’t close when Bryant was the QB. I think our schedule isn’t that great either especially since a few teams fell apart. Wake Forrest is a joke, I’d say Miami, Clemson, and NCST are your better teams. So kind of like the SEC 3 better than the rest teams.

And you’re kidding about a hard schedule right

They beat 3 top 15 teams in September, I don't think that's ever happened before. And yeah those teams aren't all top 15 now, because they lost to Clemson and moved down. Louisville went on to lose to NC State, but NC State is good.

They destroyed Louisville and beat VaTech by double digits. Both were road games.

The only team that has looked better is Bama, and we just had trouble with A&M last week. Which happens, teams don't show up and play down to their opponent. Happens to us a couple of times most seasons, happened to Clemson yesterday.

FSU is a lot like LSU. NFL talent all over the field, but miss Qb play and leadership.

Dabo went into Syracuses locker room after they won and told them congrats. That's world class folks.

I don't care that he lost. For me he should be our only option.

One game isn't going to change that and if it did we need to get our heads checked.

Dabo loves him some Tide. I bet he cried in remorse last year.
