Re: What will it take?

For Dabo to prove us all wrong? That he was right all along.

I’ve been a long time Dabo pumper. One of my earliest tweets is about how both he and Danny got promoted internally and I speculated about him winning it all one day… he has!

But we’ve been sold a bag of air. Our offense is abysmal - especially in relation to the talent we have (on paper). Defensively, I think we are in a good spot.

But what would it take for Dabo to prove us wrong and have people like me smile at the end of the year?

Here’s what I need to see:

1. Win ACCG/Make Playoff (v likely you need both)
2. Win first game of playoff

What that probably means:

1. Win out - that means beat the Yardbirds too
2. Win ACCG - beat GT/FSU/Miami/Whompsteverelse
3. Beat a top 12 team in the playoff

Now, this is a slight improvement on last year. Doesn’t live up to this teams “potential” but still a step forward up the mountain in terms of where the progrum is.

If I’m honest: it ain’t happening. But prove me wrong

First post in the thread….guessing that is what was implied. Agree with them as well, if it was all just “fun” and you were as uninterested, unattached, happy and enjoying it all as a game, you might not even feel the need or hint of defensiveness to post a fairly in or out, all or nothing statement. Additionally and I’m genuinely curious, if you don’t care, why DO you care-to push your views of a fun game if you are completely happy with a team and coach you fully support, one if which and, please correct me if I missed it because I don’t want to misquote you, but I don’t think you had anything critical to say about the team, coaching, play etc., which is great. I’m happy you feel that way and agree with you that you really believe what you say.
I can hold two opposing views in my head, respect and support the team and fans while also calling out what are indeed facts and stats that show decreasing output. It is measureable, and consistent. These are standard metrics every team and player are ranked by, and no one can argue that the preseason hype from both within and outside the team is not aligned or performing as advertised. Arguing, discussing and contemplating the reasons are what fans do. They do it respectively because they support the team.
Quite literally, perhaps 1% of people posted about actually firing Dabo. Instead, people look to the leader, coach, ceo for answers and again, he’s not providing them in a direct manner. You prob don’t care as you view it as a game, but I’m sure many on here could answer this: when this season when asked a direct question about his leadership and coaching has he directly answered with a response that can be measured(or was even direct and related to HIM taking actual responsibility?
If you truly beleive fans really want him gone you are not reading this board or paying attention. People want accountability. It expected of each and everyone of us EVERY DAY why not a coach or team? People expect and want results. When results do not match projections people want to explore why that might be. To be defensive or all emotional about it does not reflect you see this as a game.
Some that yell the loudest and complain the most, actually really just care a lot about this team and the legacy of the school-and say how they really feel and disagree with you. It really shouldn’t be so personal-right.. it’s just a game after all.

Go Tigers!
