Fallout with another loss?

What do yall think the fallout will be, if any, if we lose to the Coots for a 6th year in a row?
Obviously everyone will be pissed but do you think any personnel, staff, etc. changes will be made?

Why would anyone want BV gone? Nothing there
Why would you want Morris to go? He's proven he can coordinate a very potent offense and with the talent returning on O, would you want to lose time with them learning a new system.
Dabo? Get serious. He has taken Clemson to another level that Bowden couldn't reach and we are still rising. Nobody will be happy with losing #6, but you don't make knee-jerk reactions because you lose to a jerk.

If we were to lose again there will be no real fallout.

People will grumble and complain, a few people will call for him to be fired, but the "moral majority" won't really budge. Losing to the coots and noles while winning 10-11 games is becoming the new normal.
Either way, Dabo's contract makes it actually impossible to fire him for at least 3 years. Maybe more.
And he is excellent at winning the hearts and minds of Clemson fans, despite losing to the coots. He's a great salesman. (No, that's not an insult.)

Unfortunately, there is no accountability from this athletic administration. Losses to Carolina don't seem to have any negative ramifications for our coaching staffs (in any sport, particularly football and baseball). The fan base has suffers mightily with the Carolina fans for going on six years now but our football coaching staff keeps getting extensions and pay raises.
It's ironic that Dabo comes from a SEC program - Bama - where losses to their rival clearly cost coaches their jobs. And yet, there are no negative repercussions for him or his staff that go with losses to the Chickens.
Do I think that he (Dabo) should be fired if we lose Saturday? That's crazy talk given how we negotiated (or he dictated to our AD) his most recent contract. But, there shouldn't be any extensions or pay increases following another year (sadly, that's probably already negotiated in there, too).
I like Dabo and I think that he has made great strides in bringing stability to this program. And, importantly, his players have remained out of the spotlight with the embarrassing shenanigans at other programs. But, beating Carolina has to become important again and a top priority to our athletic department, and I think that the only way to make that happen is to hold folks accountable for sorry performances against the Chickens, which has become the norm. If we lost to a Carolina team because they were just more talented and both teams played a great game, it wouldn't hurt nearly as much. But that is not the case, particularly this year, and a loss Saturday will be a bitter pill to swallow (probably the most bitter of any of the five previous ones).
