Before anyone fires on Dabo, remember, this is entirely the Players fault.
It sucks but you have to lay down the law somehow.

Agree 100% and I hope he sent them packing. This really makes me provoked that they did not plan well enough ahead to get back in time...no excuse.

In Support of Dabo's decision. They are part of a team. They are part of a program. They have a responcibility and should be focused. Celebrate AFTER THE GAME IS WON. Not on the fieled not before the game.

steal anything, key anyone’s car, or urinate on the street.
Still, great move by Dabo. These guys should apologize to their teammates for not being focused on the game.

I agree that something should be done, but the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
It's Christmas for heavens sake and these kids have have some big heartbreaks and are stuck in Nashville having to play Kentucky rather than in Florida playing a decent team... A bowl is supposed to be a reward and I don't think being in Nashville as the number 2 ACCC is a reward...more like punishment.......
Couldn't a one or 2 quarter penalty done the job?.....
I know the discipline speech is coming....I know the "dabo's way or the highway speech" is coming.....
fire away...................

No! a quarter are two is not the answer. Dabo did the right thing. He said "Break curfew & you do not play". End of decussion. Your statement about christmas & the way the bowl games turned out has nothing to do with the players missing curfew. They knew where they were going weeks ahead of time. If they didn't want to miss out on the other things, they should have stayed at home. Stupidity on the players part. If I were the coach, I would have sent them home also!!!

If Swinney had said "miss curfew and you'll be suspended for 2 quarters," then yes that penalty would have been fine. But I get the feeling that Swinney said "miss curfew and you will not play." Then it seems pretty clear-cut to me. The punishment fits the crime perfectly, especially if they happen to have known the punishment in advance.
1am curfews are set for pretty darn good reasons I imagine...probably something like 1. Stay out of trouble 2. Stay out of trouble 3. Stay out of trouble

No gray area here. Curfew 1 am. You miss curfew, you don't play. End of story. If you don't enforce rules, then don't have them. We don't want to become cootville west.

of punishment...in all honesty, though, good for Dabo -- you have rules; your players break them...there should be consequences.

I agree with Coach Dabo, what if this were a big meeting where huge amounts of money or even worse, someones life was at stake and they missed the meeting or got to the scene too late? I have told my own kids "just because its school or sports these events are preparing you for real life", these are young adults and this lesson may help them and someone else down the road!

Urban Meyer gave Brandon Spikes a HALF game suspension
Dec 27, 2009, 1:49 PM
|

Brandon Spikes gouges somebody's eyes and Urban Meyer gives him a HALF-game suspension against cupcake Vandy. Four Clemson players show up late for curfew and Dabo Swinney suspends all of them for an entire bowl game. That's the difference between a win-at-all-costs pro-football coach and a principled coach of student athletes.

Dabo did what he had to do. They left him little choice. It shows that coaches do not have this group focused enough. It will be a long cold night on the bench tonight I hope it stops with this group. Durrell Berry should have been more of a leader as a Sr/Gr team memebr. Does he not understand that the tide has turned with owners and NFL coaches and this stuff is no longer cool or acceptable. Bet Cumbie will rememebr this next year. Gonna make for a long spring training. If they don't play do they still get a ring when we win.
