Dabo is too 'neck for my taste. He's a recruiter, and that's all fine and dandy but in the SEC you need have your X and Os down pat. This isn't a mickey mouse conference that you can steamroll every year w/o much effort.

I liked Dabo as the next coach, but he kind of comes off as used car salesman like the more he's in the spot light.

No longer really like him as the next coach, but if he gets hired and does well, then I guess maybe it'll grow on me.

Dabo is not just a recruiter. He wasn’t recruiting at the level he currently is until the past 4 to 5 years. What he lacks in Xs and Os he makes up for by recognizing his shortcomings, identifying and hiring someone that will make up for it. He is doing what has made Saban so great and that’s adjusting his strategy to the current game.

That is one reason I believe Kirby will not win or sustain winning at a high level. He is too conservative and stuck in a football mindset Saban was 5-6 years ago. The foundation of the program can be rigid but having flexibility with your strategy will allow for long term success.

He's beat us in TWO NC games in the past three years. I fully understand not wanting Dabo, but don't give a dumbass excuse for it.
