Dec 21, 2022, 2:50 PM

Dabo isn't going to follow the pack.

He's going to lead the pack...by letting God determine the values of this program, not Nike, boosters, or TNET.

It determines who and why we sign and how he runs the program.

If you ask Dabo, it has everything to do with the portal. "That's not us."

Matthew 6:5-6

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Big Dog, I think you may have landed where I am on this one. I am a Christian and I appreciate a faith-based coach building the foundation of a faith-based program. I just get a little concerned that somehow it gets presented like it is some sort of competitive advantage when there are plenty of other faith-based coaches and programs out there operating the same way and all enjoy God's love and blessings.

I know this is a touchy subject but I just want to see us put our faith in the best light and recognize that God loves all his children and does not want to lose even one. Football is what people do, it is not who they are...

Do you have any idea how much he gives away? You'd be very pleasantly surprised if you did. It's WAY way way more than 10%. The average American churchgoer gives a little over 3%.

So, what exactly is your criticism?

I think it's safe to say that Jesus was unique. That's sort of the point isn't it? His followers were very rich (Matthew, Zacchaeus, Joseph of Arimathea) and beggars -- and everything in between.

As an employee of the state government, Dabo has a moral obligation to keep his personal religious beliefs out of his professional persona. I am not saying that he can't be a devout christian, but he cannot promote his religion through his job. The separation of church and state was one of the driving forces in our Founders minds when the country was born.

You couldn't be more wrong. The only mention of separation of church and state occurs in Jefferson's correspondence and opinion. The First Amendment ONLY says that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. That means:
* the government will not create an official state religion (as England had, and has)
* the government will not interfere in your right to worship
* the first ten amendments limit GOVERNMENT, not citizens

Dabo has every right to talk religion as much as he wants, or to not mention religion at all. Whether his checks are printed on stock that says Clemson University or if he works for Michelin, he has the right to proclaim his faith as long as it harms no one else and he doesn't spend his time on his job doing non-job things.

That quote will be misunderstood by many. Some will interpret it as a cute little soundbite by an unscrupulous salesman.

But, there is no doubt in my mind it was totally off the cuff. He was asked about NIL and how it affected recruiting. He gave a clear and rational explanation of how Clemson had built a foundation even before there was an NIL and how they had built on that foundation so that they can help students who want to earn money while in college. His quote that you alluded to, (paraphrased) "We've built this program on NIL. We are all created in God's name, image, and likeness. That's what we've built this program on and that's what we will continue to build it on." It was just a comment from the heart from a man who knows what he believes and lives what he believes."
