talk about adapting


Dec 31, 2021, 7:16 PM

when we blew out bama in 2018 many in sports media had started to crown dabo as sabans superior..fast forward to 2021 dabo has been boat raced twice in the playoffs and didnt sniff the playoffs this year...saban is on the verge of winning back to back titles

yep his ability to adapt is second to none

which is astounding why do other coaches ignore adapting.

To me that is a college coaches job

Dabo coached Clemson to 2 Natty's in 14 years.


Dec 31, 2021, 7:24 PM [ in reply to Re: talk about adapting ]

Not too shabby. Other than Saban, who else has done this recently? Georgia has none, Ohio State has one, Notre Dame has squat, LSU has a couple but with different coaches.

Go Tigers!!!

Considering Saban and Dabo are the only active coaches with more than 1 title I’m gonna say no one. Let’s also not forget that Dabo has more wins, conference championships, and national titles at the same point in their respective careers. It’s a fallacy to compare Dabo after year 13 and Saban after year 26 as head coaches.

Easy to adapt when there's not one 3* on your team. His teams simply pulverize the opposition. Actually, tonight's 'Bammer kind of played like the teams from 6-7 years ago. They just beat the snot out of Cincy. As I said, it's so much easier to be flexible when you have great players who can do almost anything you ask of them.

Clemson can consistently be a top 15-20 program. Dabo will eventually realize he has to adjust the way he is managing the roster.

how can you lose so many players each year and replace

them with inexperience incoming freshman and expect to be in the top 10?

This years performance has nothing to do with my argument. Do you not understand how much depth has left the roster?

Re: with the current way we are operating


Dec 31, 2021, 7:54 PM [ in reply to Re: with the current way we are operating ]

10-3 is great for Bowden or West, or when Dabo first started. When you have what Clemson has NOW, 10-3 is a lost season.

Third longest streak of the 10 wins in CFB history but it’s a lost season. You have absolutely no perspective.

Saban gets the best recruits year in and year out. Call it adapting or whatever else you think Dabo is not doing right but even though we have had some great recruiting classes it’s hard to argue “adaptations” Saban has been able to pull in 5 stars before and after the NIL and transfer portal bs.

The question is, WHY does he always…


Dec 31, 2021, 8:42 PM

get his pick of the top 5* recruits, despite the never-ending assistant coaching carousel in Tuscaloosa?

He calls it “The Process”. And it works. It gets the best players to play their best, and gets them ready to earn $millions in the league. Any coach would do well to study and emulate “The Process” if they want to reach that level of consistent success.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Saban also has a set system.


Dec 31, 2021, 7:43 PM [ in reply to False narrative ONLY on TigerNet! ]

If he brings in new coaches they adapt to his system. Just ask those coaches that wanted to do it their way and got relieved of their duties.

Same here. Dabo has a system and it works. It will continue to work.

The guy is more impressive probably in his assistant coaching hires than in his recruiting. Bryce Young put up unbelievable numbers this year, with yet another different off. coord. Probably one of the biggest differences in our 2 programs. Our recruiting/evaluations has taken a hit as coaches have left, Alabama just keeps rolling

This triggers me. Because until Dabo changes roster management and adopts the PORTAL, you are right. It irks me that the portal exists because it has destroyed the Swinney formula. Which was the best. I fear he is hell bent on proving he can do it the same way he did before. And I’m pretty sure the portal ruins this.

What adaptation did Saban use?


Dec 31, 2021, 7:57 PM

Two transfer players?

The real issue is they had a QB who played at a very high level. If we would've had that and not been decimated with injuries, then we are on TV today playing for the trophy.

Man email Dabo or ride by his house or catch him on his way to practice and let him know that you feel we are on the downslide and what he needs to do to change it. I don’t know what else to tell you but you seem pretty upset.

We have really fallen.


Dec 31, 2021, 10:20 PM

Many here are content to brag about recent playoff appearances and a national championship a few years ago. They make themselves feel better by talking about how we “do things the right way” and rationalize our failures by insinuating that other teams cheat or have more NIL advantages than we do.

But if they are honest with themselves, they will acknowledge that we had a very disappointing season this year, and are a long shot to make the playoffs next year, and have some significant roster management issues to address if we want to return to elite status.

All of this is cloaked in hero worship of Dabo and an unwillingness to question anything the man has said or done.

It’s a really weird dynamic here and I fear for many people here when they wake up one day and the reality of our situation hits them like a ton of bricks.
