Dabo is a great leader.

He is a great recruiter.
He is a great motivator.
He has a gift.
Those gifts brought Watson and Lawrence and two National Championships.
What Dabo is not - is a great X’s & O’s football coach.
Therein lies his insecurities and unwillingness to bring in proven, experienced coaches from the outside.
Dabo should be afforded the grace he had earned, but his experiment has failed miserably.
He needs to clean house on offense and bring a proven OC and turn over total control.
Give the defense another year to get their house in order.

Well spoken but without major changes in recruitment and use of the portal our defense will lose most of its strength after this year

2 years for the team to be elite again imo. Maybe a National Title possibility in 2 years.

The worst part about the OC deal is, he learned that lesson

once before. He gave his buddy Billy Napier the job, and he went down in flames. Back then, Dabo made the hard choice, and cut Napier loose, and we acquired Chad Morris as OC. From a 2012 TCI article, Jeff Scott was always being groomed as Morris successor, because Dabo knew Morris was going to be a Head Coach somewhere after his Clemson success.
At the time, Dabo said that whether Morris left or stayed, he still wanted Clemson to be the fast paced, HUNH offense that Morris had installed. Yet, somehow, we got away from that. And, it has basically been all downhill SINCE we got away from it. Even DJ, with all his shortcomings, says things work better when we go fast. So, it is completely puzzling as to why we don't do it anymore.

yours is a post w really good observations. Truth is, even Morris got away from what I perceive as a hurry up offense. The last time I remember us really being hurry up was when Streeter was qb. I realize the NCAA changed the rules some, but I have assumed if anyone knows the benefit of such an approach it would be Streeter thus facilitating it more then hindering it.
I don't know much, but I've had the idea someone has forced DJ into playing unnaturally slow and possibly even demanding he throw to certain receivers on certain plays no matter who is open... just too much not making sense.
