Re: Is it just me? Am I the only one who has no fear of UGA?

I agree with you. I was glad to see Mark Richt move over to the ACC. It strengthens our conference. Plus , I think MR needed to get away from UGA. I think he has become re-energized. Just look at Miami’s recruiting class.

And I agree with you, I don’t think Kirby Smart can maintain a cohesive staff or keep the players together each year. I see coaches leaving before their 4 year commitment to this recruiting class plays out their careers their and players transferring out because they were misled. And the big thing at UGA has always been player discipline. Mark was really strict but I see KS focusing more on wins less on discipline and building young men of character.

I think his early recruiting success has been due to his connection to Saban and Bama. That will eventually wear off too.

Negative recruiting also catches up with you as well. Eventually the word gets out by former players and recruits. (Don’t believe everything they tell you at UGA.)

Dabo has been the same from his days as TB’s recruiting coordinator and as Clemson’s HC. That kind of consistency is now paying Huge dividends. It also proves you don’t have to recruit the number 1 class to win a NC if you and your staff know how to build boys into good men of character and integrity while teaching them the game of football.

I will take the Dabo every time!

You make a great point. Kirby and his gang are trying to position UGA as the” Big Dawg” ( no pun intended lol ) who rules the SEC once Bama is de-Sabanized. I wonder at what cost. I know Saban has danced with the devil more than once in his career, is KS will to go even further to achieve than Saban all in the name of success??

I really can’t see Dabo going to Bama. He would not be a good fit. His integrity, honesty, character and moral compass would get in the way of some Big $$$$ Bama boosters. Plus, IMO Dabo is continuing to build something special at Clemson. I just don’t see him chasing $$$$ to leave unfinished business at Clemson. Why make what I would consider a lateral move. In fact IMO leaving Clemson for Bama would be taking a step back! There nothing as special as Clemson University.

I believe KS should keep an eye on Clemson just as much as Bama, if not more so because who ever replaces Saban will not be good enough for Bama. They had a great coach in Bill Curry who had success at Bama, but was fired because he had the same qualities as Dabo and he was not a Bama alum.

Although I never attended Clemson my daughter’s experience at Clemson has made me realize just what a special place Tiger Town really is. She is a 2015 grad. I have always had a great love for Clemson but when you have one of your kids become a part of Clemson it changes your entire perspective about the University. I will never understand the feelings Clemson Alumni feel but my daughter and I have shared many great experiences at Clemson.

Once again I want to thank Spud because he played a large role in my daughter’s decision to attend Clemson.
