Well they are the most valuable company on the planet. If they offered I'm sure he would listen. The difference is he didn't start out working for them and hold a management position for almost a decade. He also didn't grow up 45 minutes from their campus.

quote:
The rest of the Bama fans are assuming that because Dabo loves Bama so much and that he's competitive, that he'll drop everything on a whim to coach at Bama where Saban is putting on a run that no one will probably ever come close to repeating.

Who's to say Dabo wouldn't take it as a challenge to become the absolute greatest coach Alabama has ever had? We don't know what drives him.

quote:
I'm not trying to convince anyone, but I am trying to tell my fellow Bama fans, don't get your hopes up.

I don't think anyone has hopes for something that may or may not happen 7 years from now. We're just responding to Dabo's own statements.

quote:
He also said today that he doesn't need to go anywhere bigger to prove anything and that he has all the resources and available talent at his disposal right where he is.

What is he supposed to say?

quote:
Of course he'll strongly consider it, he loves him some Bama forever, but I personally just don't see it happening when Saban rrtires.

Again, he may take it if offered or he won't. You won't see me making definitive statements about it either way.

quote:
Either way, it's not a crime to think he stays at Clemson and that, IMO, which is all it is, that him staying is the more logical possibility.

Logic has nothing to do with it when you don't know the individual on a personal level. It's all speculation.

As I have posted multiple times on this board (including this thread) and the Bama board, Dabo wants the Alabama job. Will he get it? We'll find out in 7 or 8 years.

I don't wanna argue with my fellow Bama fans. I hope I'm wrong about all this. I just am not going to my hopes up is all.

And I trust your sources that it'd be extremely difficult for him to say no. Sometimes though when it's high risk/high reward people go with the safer bet of staying in a successful position.

Again, I hope I'm wrong and if I am, then I'll be thrilled. But if I'm right, I won't be sad or angry at Dabo.
