12-0 ain’t good enough? Then it’s time for me to seek other places. Make sure you get that.


I get that fans can be spoiled, but I dont think a head coach should be saying this.

Exactly. There's no way to police hundreds of thousands of fans. Statistics say that 49.99999% of fans are going to be of below average intelligence.

Dabo is a goober who isn't smart enough to know that he can address the complaints without threatening to take his ball and go home. It's just one reason I've never been a huge fan of Mr. Bring Your Own Guts. He's a goon.

I think what he's saying is, "you folks have no reason to have Alabama-level expectations."

Yea, that was........not well done by Dabo. At all.

Especially knowing that Clemson folks will ALWAYS feel a bit insecure about the Alabama job. He knew exactly what he was doing, and if he didn't then that's pretty ignorant on his part.

I lost my cats in a breakup last April.

Sarah Catterson is a great name, though.

I ain't saying he's wrong, but if he said that to me I'd point him to the door.

At the end of the day, this is why you make the big bucks. If you can't overlook the ignorance of some fans, then you're in the wrong line of work.

And since people are bringing up Alabama/Saban. Not even close to being the same.

Saban will tell you himself he's not pleased with 12-0 and his standards and expectations are right there with the fans. You want to talk about people being upset about things at halftime the last 2 games, you can bet your arse they weren't as upset as Saban and the team.

That is EVERYONE'S expectation, not just the fans. Saban isn't trying to kill this mentality, he instead promotes it on the team.

Because if you're satisfied with 12-0, then you aren't Alabama material. You must not want it enough, you must not have worked hard enough to get there because you wanted it enough. If you want it enough, then nothing else will do, and anything less is a disappointment regardless.

The only thing that kills me about fans is when they dog the players. Don't do that.

This ranks right up there with LSU's #2 nationally rings to me. Wrong mentality, I'll take Cochran busting up 2nd place trophies instead all day long.

All jokes and such aside, this makes me wonder if he truly is ready for a pressure cooker like Alabama.
