Same thing coaches say about Saban when they leave...

Coaches can't wait to get out from under Saban. He's supposedly a real prick to work under.

Coach V continues to impress

And there is no way a fraud or a cheerleader would have that kind of impact on a man such as Venables. Dabo, as well as Brent, are men of deep character, integrity, and faith.

So well said! +1 The culture Dabo has created has impacted coaches and players alike, and I think it has impacted me as a fan. I wish we'd had that culture while I was there. I bet we'd have won many more games, and I'd bet the guys would be better off for it.

I keep saying that I really hope Dabo writes a book.

It will be one of the first “required reading” books I put in front of my children when they are old enough.

Thank you Coach V!

We love you man! Go win some Championships at OU!

I know he is the coach at OU but I love that man

So happy you feel that way Coach V.
We won't/can't forget what you did for our program. Best of luck in your new endeavor and may you continue to be blessed in your family life. ?????

I will never forget how kind he was to my children. In 2013 after UGA game we went on field and it was a mad house but he still took the time to take a picture with my kids ….we pulled that picture up yesterday and thought how cool it was we had a picture with the future head coach of Oklahoma

BV was a gem as well…still loving CDS at the helm!***

PRAYING FOR BV's WORDS AND HEART TO BE USED...


Dec 18, 2021, 12:04 PM

....to carry what CDS has established in Clemson to another school, another group of coaches and another group of young men that will become future leaders.

Many of us know that this is not about CDS, it's about the transforming power of the One who is in his heart, in BV's heart and in TE's heart. I pray regularly for all of these coaches that God will guard their hearts, minds and their entire programs and continue to use them to impact the lives of young men, the lives of media reps and the lives of fans for eternity! It's really cool to watch men take a stand and make a difference. May God bless them all.

Go Tigers!!

That would be cool if it wasn't at Oklahoma. Yuck.

For me there is an unusually pure and uncomplicated beauty to the Swinney-Clemson-Venables relationship that is quite remarkable in big time athletics. Coach Venables has very deservedly moved on and yet his total Clemson experience goes with him. Not like what you see at least verbally among leading coaches who appear to move to the future while closing the door to the past. Perhaps all or many experience the same thing but prefer not to talk about it because of fear that it makes them seem less emotionally invested in their new role than their old one.

I hope Coach Venables succeeds admirably at OU. He has personal qualities badly needed in top level collegiate athletics.

Is Jake going to be a GA


Dec 18, 2021, 3:54 PM

or player-coach who doesn’t play? There are at least two options that pay for grad school and build a coaching resume. What’s the GA limit, two maybe?

It's funny. I remember when Dabo went out and got BV. Lots of people questioned the move. OU hadnt been known for defense. If they kept another team below 40, that was a win. BV was fighting to be the DC, trading off duties with Mike Stoops. Sure glad Dabo did. Weve had some great offenses, but its our defense that made us champions.

This is a perfect example as to why we should trust Coach Swinney’s recent coordinator hires. Sadly the media and those outside of Clemson have chosen to demonize and mock Swinney for his beliefs and his courage to speak up about things. He truly sees the position he is in as an opportunity to help mold men, a chance to pay forward what coaches like Gene Stallings and Bowden did for him. He’s a man the media and the NCAA should look at as the model for what the coach of a student athlete should be. He truly is concerned about these players and their futures. He wants what is best for his coaches and support staff and in an era of coaches like Brian Kelly, who allowed his players to find out he was leaving via the ticker on espn while they were watching the CFP selections, Swinney is honest. His concerns about NIL and the portal aren’t about wins and losses it’s about what’s going to happen to these players. He’s telling everyone what’s going to happen and instead of the media getting behind him they’re busy portraying him as a whiner. They laid a guy like jumbo fisher who we all know is a cheat. He cheated at FSU and he’s cheating at A&M. He mocked the rules when he said NIL has been going on for a long time we just made it legal. What’s a guy like that’s graduation rate? Yet Dabo is the bad guy. Thank you for sharing this article because it just shows how fortunate we all are to have had Dabo a part of this great university. I don’t know the man personally but I know I’ve learned a thing or two and have challenged myself to be a better man simply seeing how he lives his life

This is why I trust Dabo 100%


Dec 19, 2021, 6:32 PM

Dabo knows what he's doing with recent moves.
