I have been pretty critical of our players this year

but I have never called for Dabo’s head, nor will I ever. I love Dabo and I’m grateful for where he took our program. That said, I wish he would have handled this Tyler situation differently. I think Tyler scratched a nerve that, apparently, was already raw. Meaning, all the criticism has been weighing on him. How could it not? I wish he would have responded with a short answer or a no comment. If questions are going to set you off, don’t take any. I am probably in the minority here, but it came off as a childish rant to me. He been showered with praise for 10 years, learn to take some criticism. Anyway, I still love the man. I will always love my Tigers. I will watch every second of every game no matter the score. Go Tigers!

Im afraid that Dabo, because of his ego, will double down and not make changes

Did you miss the part that Dabo gives not one poo what you think?
You are a pruning.
One more time - Dabo is going to do what he thinks is best for Clemson and does not care what either of us thinks.
It’s his job to run the program, it is our job to support his program.
If you can’t accept that he really meant what he said and that you might be part of the problem, that does not make it so.
I once worked for a 7 person firm. The boss would get angry at one particular partner and send a memo to all. The partner would see the memo and toss it w/o reading it and ask, “Who pissed HIM off?”
Is that you? Dabo could not have been more clear, but you refuse to hear him.
I’m glad he spoke his mind. Just because he is a public figure doesn’t make him your apprentice.
Not one of us could teach Dabo one thing about CFB. Deal with it.
No buts.

Ok, that works for me - Dabo did not say that you are special and that he meant everyone else. Nor did he say that fan seniority excuses your bad behavior and attitude. There were plenty of a-holes at Clemson when I was there. The idea that a fan of any age is self exempted from Dabo’s irritation is really child like.
Should I send a memo to the company or just call you out for exhibiting the qualities Dabo referred to in disgust?
I prefer the direct approach so that you don’t misunderstand - Dabo told you to shut up and go away - I second the motion. But, as always, there is redemption in contrition. See if you can figure out what that means…
Try using your mind rather than your emotions and you might be worthy, but for now you have been pruned.
A person with 3 degrees should be smarter than you appear to be, but I knew some professional students there too.
So to summarize - no matter how brilliant you consider yourself, Dabo wants good fans, not those that excuse their own bad behavior and attack him, the players and the program.
It’s pretty straight forward.

of his upbeat pronouncements so far he knows his team and how good they are. That is why he is sensitive. It is clear we are deficient in many areas. We play a generally poor brand of fottball with missed assignments where we routinely turn the ball over and seldom get turnovers. It is frustrating and wearing on him clearly. I hope we break out and get going but we are 3/4 the way through the regular season and still doing this stuff. We have had such solid football recently it makes this difference all the more glaring.

Half the time when you do call into a radio show someone else answers the phone to ask you what will your question will be. Then they put you on hold for about a minute or two before they tell you that you're good to ask your question in 10 seconds....or they tell you next voice you're going to hear in 10 seconds is going to be whoever is hosting the show. Then they come on and give you your opportunity.
I wonder if Tyler switched it up on him....if they screened him.... to the fact that he told them he was going to ask one thing but really just asked about what he really wanted to ask once he got through on the air??

Or was it planned….. staged, to give Dabo that platform to go off and get the team and fan base fired up……

on what G. D. planet have you ever, EVER heard that idiom phrased in such a manner!?! The ONLY excuse for your embarrassing display of brainless idiocy is that English is your second language. If that is the case then I sincerely encourage you to GTF back home–

You are one miserable, angry person. You might want to seek professional help. If something as simple as a misquoted idiom caused you to take time to type this outburst, you seriously have problems. I would have welcomed a simple critique telling me I phrased it incorrectly, but the rest of the tirade makes me worry about your mental well being, and the physical well being of those with whom you surround yourself. Sorry I STRUCK A NERVE.

Tyler wanted to play big man for his Tiger Illustrated band if fools and he bit off more that he expected. Don’t feel bad for him at all and Dabo did nothing wrong on defending himself.

There is merit to your point. There is also merit to Dabos point. Too many whining
