re: Dabo Swinney: If Clemson fans aren't satisfied after USC win, it’s time for me to move on

To claim the Bama fans who wouldn’t choose Dabo is a small minority is bullshite. I’d say it’s split pretty close to 50/50.

I know a helluva lot of Bama fans. Every one thinks that Dabo should get the first offer.

That last one with AJ is from the 2011 game in the Swamp. I was there as a student and he was doing the chomp in front of us after scoring.

Contrary to popular belief, Dabo Swinney is not Clemson Football. Our administration has a will to win at almost any cost. When Dabo is gone we will still be beating the hell out of the Shamecocks and the rest of our conference. Clemson's Board of Trustees will go out and get the next guy unlike USUC's who has to settle for whatever washout that is willing to go to Columbia.

I hate the nepostism I see among our coaching staff. It is a sure sign that things are getting too cushy for them. It is a bad look, and when things do start to eventually slide, will be one of the first things seized upon to skewer Dabo.

Every word of your comments about Dabo have been said by our rivals about Saban. Every. fricking. Word.

lol, I've never heard anyone say Saban had an underdog attitude. Crybaby? sure, every coach gets called that when they voice their minds about issues but Dabo takes it to another level and it gets talked about quite a lot. Other than that some think Saban's evil on top of it but I've heard that about no fewer than 10 different coaches over the years.

Living in Tennessee has apparently warped your brain. Is you're family tree a telephone pole too?

As far as coaches that are better and proven winners, why is that always important? There's plenty of coaches that dont do well in one place but fit better in others.

Also, as far as being serious minded and whether you care about me and my buddies go.... lol, you actually think that what you care about matters? Nothing you or I say will have even the slightest inkling of difference in who we get as coach after Saban leaves.

I dont want Dabo. I have a lot of customers that come in my business that agree. In cast you havent noticed this is a message board. That's the kind of thing we talk about here. At least the ones that are stupid enough to think our opinion actually matters to anyone outside of our own heads anyway.

I've seen it said many times when Saban left LSU he left behind detailed notebooks about every player's strengths and weaknesses and exactly what was needed for them to succeed.

---

Didn't he have a recommendation for the next HC?

Whoever follows Saban will be set up.

The problem is there is no way the next coach will be able to equal what Saban has achieved. For the last ten years, it was a good bet that Alabama would be in the championship game.

But like someone else said, it won't be clear how much below Saban they are until year three.





We shall see next year.


I hope.

It's funny because all those pictures you posted were of Saban getting pissed off during games. To think that you actually believe they are related proves even more how intellectually inadequate you are.

It don't matter which team you pull for, Tennessee always gonna Tennessee. Enjoy that telephone pole family tree.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have the same Administration in place that you had when USCe beat you 5 times in a row. No?

To be perfectly clear, Dabo was trying to run up the score on South Carolina.

I am not entirely sure why Dabo did this. Like I said, I think Dabo is a good guy. But that was not right. I would like to think he wasn’t trying to embarrass a defense with a bunch of gassed, injured freshman. Instead, I think it is very possible that Dabo himself was embarrassed. Coaches always act like they don’t listen to outside noise and that they don’t know things like the point spread or pregame predictions. But I would not be shocked if Dabo was looking up at that scoreboard, seeing that his vaunted Clemson defense gave up 35 points and 600 yards of offense to a team many predicted would be lucky to score ten points, and thought, “screw this, let’s get another score and win by 21.” I don’t know for sure. That’s my guess. But I think Dabo got caught up in his emotions a little bit. I think he was upset his defense played poorly and in the heat of the moment he decided to run up the score to make it look better.

I know that this is a rivalry, but Dabo displayed poor sportsmanship. I think this stuck in my crawl because it came from a coach and a program and a school that hold themselves to a “higher standard.” I didn’t even go to South Carolina, but listening to Clemson fans continually beatdown the Gamecock fan base for being classless or hicks or rude, is tough to stomach after seeing a Clemson fan flipping Keil Pollard the middle finger as he runs by the student section, or watching a Clemson fan move into the South Carolina section of the stadium, stand next to me, and trash South Carolina players in front of their parents, or witnessing Dabo run up the score, or observing their students rush the field before the game was over.

Bama fans would lose their minds with Dabo as their head coach post-Saban. As soon as he would have offers out to coaches' son's that are not worthy of a P5 offer and he loses that WTF game, they would be crucifying him and he would be longing for the good ole days at Clemson.

Dabo on one hand says "Best is the standard" and then out of the other side of his mouth says "1 point win is all we need!"... Which is it?

Bottom line is Dabo and Venables got outcoached by South Carolinas's staff. Clemson was clearly superior at nearly every position and still made a game of it. The past couple years has shown that if teams come up with new/unique formations they haven't shown on film, and run the hurry up out of it, Venables can leave our defense in a compromised position waiting for the call, and our Safety's this year are not exceptionally talented and prone to busts. A&M and Syracuse, as well as USC, all used that blueprint successfully against Clemson.

It's why I think Bama will beat us worse than last year if we play them again. Our 2016 team was built to beat that Bama team, despite the fact that was one of the best defenses of the past 20 years in CFB... We were built on stopping the run, and had the ultimate playmaker in Watson. If we play them this year I think it's a 48-21 type of game in favor of Bama.
