@ExcessDepth Good dude for sure. Heck, Hatfield called my grandfather and prayed with him when my grandmother died. From an integrity standpoint, I find Dabo to be the most questionable of any Clemson coach in my lifetime, and it sucks.
@ExcessDepth I’d honestly rather be back in the Tommy West days. Tickets were $15 outside the stadium, a $2500 donation got you Lot 2, and I felt like our coach wasn’t flipping us the bird as he was underachieving.
@DocG65 @CLEMSONPEPE Bro, we did this before Riley got here. How many Streeter games did our coaches say something like “yeah we should have given the RB more touches but hindsight is 20/20, we will learn from it”
@tigerpregame 5/5 I’m ok with this being the new reality of CUFB, but Dabo needs to be making about $2M/year or less if so. If we are going to keep paying top dollar for a coach though, let’s find one who’s willing to actually use all the levers available to him and end the buddy job lottery.
@tigerpregame 4) and lastly yes, the nostalgia fans who think past performance excuses current ills (nepotism, talent evaluation, lack of development, portal utilization) are a big part of why we are on year 5 of underperformance. Dabo isn’t going to figure this out because he doesn’t want to
@tigerpregame 3) knowing who doesn’t work is no less valuable than knowing who does. If Dabo was an elite track star, we are competing in swim meets now and he’s saying he can’t and won’t swim. I don’t need to know who the next Michael Phelps is to know Dabo is going to drown. (Cont)
@tigerpregame 2) what will he “accelerate” to? Every action he has taken is basically a rehash of a decade ago. The same retread hires and friends and family in a futile attempt to get the old magic back. He has no new ideas to reach for or he would have used them. (Cont)
@tigerpregame Thanks for the reply Scott, couple thoughts.
1) we have a half-decade sample of his words and his actions explicitly telling us that he will never fully utilize the advantages of the new system to our benefit. He’s told us who he is on this topic and I believe him. (Cont)
@ScottCa78058010@tigerpregame The fact that he hasn’t lost you and others already and you think another revolving door underling sacrifice will fix things is a big reason why we are here now.
@TimmyKal12 Yeah, turned it off with the same old lemming “I love Dabo”. He’s stolen our money, enriched his friends and family, and told us all to pound sand when questioned about anything for 5+ years straight. F Dabo.
