I think Dabo is by far the best gameday coach out of all the choices, but Clemsons recruiting has fallen off since the Potal and NIL came to be.

He has been a great recruiter in the past, they had Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, and people forget that even though DJU was a bust there he was the top QB in his class and Dabo landed him.

I think he could for sure pull in top classes at Bama.

Sounds like Lanning is the first choice and I like him too, we will see how it plays out.
Dabo is my top choice.

Read up on NewSpring church in Clemson and its connection to Dabo and its downfall. Ever since that took place it’s directly coincided with Clemsons downturn. The pipeline was effectively cut off. Now with NIL and Dabo’s position on that and the portal, they’re just another team out there.

I wouldn’t be mad at all at Kiffen tbh but I’d be pretty pissed if it’s Dabo. You guys are living in the past with Dabo. He’s done in this era.

Our guys would flock to the portal if he was hired. His method of not letting commits visit other schools doesn’t work if you want the best recruits.

Lanning is unproven mostly and young but he’s inheriting a loaded roster and the best brand in CFB.

Kirby was early 40s and UGA his first job when he was hired.

I know Ryan Day is losing to Michigan and their fans hate him but would you guys turn your nose up at 11-1 every year after Saban? Day is actually more consistent than Urban. He doesn’t get blown out to teams like Iowa or Purdue and he recruits really well. Day was unproven and young getting the OSU job.

Day and Kirby have shown going young can work. Trying to hire someone like Dabo isn’t the move. No reason Lanning can’t do something similar. I think it can work. Most important part is keeping our roster in tact mostly.
