He is building his own thing at Clemson. He doesn't have to follow up Bryant and Saban. He has a chance to be the best coach of all time there.

Not even Dabo is going to want to follow Saban at Bama. If we think that fanbase is insane now, just wait until they come back down to Earth and start losing more games every year.

Hell, some gumps were calling for Saban to be fired last night. It's lunacy.

I said the same thing yesterday before the game, OP. I hate both Bama and Clemson (mainly because of Dabo), but if I had to choose, I wanted Clemson to win just so he continues to build a dynasty at Clemson. Saban isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but the last thing I want is for Dabo to take the Bama job when Saban retires.

I think that Dabo has some loyalty to Clemson for giving him the chance. He has brought them two NC's now. If he was going to leave I think he would have done it already. Dabo is a class act.

Dabo is a full blown gump, I wouldn’t be surprised if he crawled to Tuscaloosa from Clemson when Saban retires

Why tf would he want to go there now? He is Clemson. His statue may already be in the works.

At Bama it will be unreal expectations, just another guy in a long line of elite coaches, a fanbase that will turn on you in a heartbeat, a tougher conference, and possibly a harder place to recruit (at least currently) compared to Clemson.

Where would he have already gone?

Agreed. He’s not going to Bama. Fact.

At this point, why would he? He's skull dragging the ACC and has turned the program into elite in all aspects of the game. Saban is going to have to retire, his replacement is going to have to suck, and there's going to have to be some fatigue on both sides of Dabo and Clemson before it even has a shot to happen.

Will be interesting to see what happens to Clemson when/if something too good to turn down falls in Venables' lap.

He's not leaving...

Dabo is building his own legacy, easier path to playoffs, and let's be honest.. Who wants to follow Saban's GOAT act.

He goes because his first love is Alabama.

Certainly he doesn't need to. I mean, he is building his own legacy at Clemson. Why go to Alabama where you might succeed and you might not? He's got it made right where he is at.

Nah, he’s building his own legend at Clemson. Why would he want to go coach in Bryant and Saban’s shadow? At Bama, fans would want him fired if he went 2-3 years without a national title. At Clemson, he’s basically earned that job for as long as he wants to coach. Easier path to the playoffs through the ACC vs SEC.

And it's so obvious anytime he talks about Alabama.

Roy Williams would never leave Kansas for North Carolina after he built his own thing and won championship there.

I think Dabo comes to Bama, but it is less likely after 2 titles than it was after one. He may not directly follow Saban. May prefer to be the guy that comes after the guy that follows Saban.

Then again, 10 years and $100M to come home can change minds quick.

Idk. Not with Dabo.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought when clemson beat Auburn in 2011, the first loss for Auburn since 09, he said it takes an alabama man to do that. And then bvb had a strange initial comment after beating bama I guess ncg 2 years ago.

I think his first hot girlfriend was Bama, Clemson is hot, but he hasn't forgotten the first.

My bet is he would like to be Bamas second hire after Saban.

Before last night's game I thought that there was a real good possibility Dabo could go to bama upon Saban's retirement.

Now, I don't see Dabo going anywhere. Not even the NFL.
