Re: Its not the truth at all.

First, it’s not a better job than Clemson. It’s currently not as good. Why would Dabo take a job that isn’t even a lateral move at best?

Second, how much more would Dabo make there? I would think they would need to be in the $12-$14 million a year range to get Dabo’s attention. I’m not sure they want or need to pay that much for a coach.

Third, Dabo has no ties there. He’s never coached there. He doesn’t have family in College Station, TX. Leaving the program he has built here, and his life in Clemson, for A&M makes no sense.

Fourth, Dabo is loyal. We gave him a chance when he didn’t deserve it, and have faithfully stuck by him ever since. He has gotten everything he needed and wanted here in order to be successful. He doesn’t seem like the type of guy to forget that.

Fifth, A&M is a really tough job. Their fans expect a lot, but they aren’t on the same level as a program as a lot of other teams in the SEC. Just winning their division is a tall task in the SEC West. Dabo has won national championships. Why go somewhere like A&M where the expectations are really high and the path to success is really challenging, especially when he already has a great salary, a perfect situation, and nothing to prove?

Re: I dont think Dabo to A&M makes sense, for several reasons.

While I understand your points, allow me to present a counterargument:

First, Texas A&M has a rich football tradition and a passionate fan base. The program has a large and dedicated following, which can provide a coach with immense support and resources. While Clemson may currently have the edge in terms of recent success, Texas A&M has the potential to become a powerhouse program with the right leadership.

Second, money talks. While it's true that Dabo Swinney is already well-compensated at Clemson, Texas A&M has the financial resources to offer a competitive salary. If they are willing to invest in a top-tier coach like Dabo, they could potentially meet his salary demands and provide him with the financial incentive to consider the move. Although, I don’t see Dabo valuing a million dollars more a year like you said.

Third , Texas A&M offers a unique opportunity for a coach like Dabo Swinney to make his mark. While Clemson has already achieved a high level of success under Swinney, taking on the challenge of building a program at Texas A&M could be an enticing prospect. The Aggies have a strong recruiting base in the talent-rich state of Texas, and with the right coach, they could become a perennial contender in the SEC and on the national stage.

Additionally, Texas A&M has a state-of-the-art football facility in Kyle Field, which can provide a top-notch environment for players and coaches. The program also has a strong academic reputation, which can be attractive to recruits and their families.

Furthermore, Texas A&M has a passionate and dedicated fan base that fills the stadium for every home game. The Aggies have a strong tradition of support and loyalty, which can create an electric atmosphere for players and coaches.

Lastly, Texas A&M is located in the heart of Texas, a state known for its football culture and talent. The proximity to high school football power.

But for Clemson….

Certainly, here is an argument for Clemson while also addressing counterpoints for Texas A&M:

Clemson offers Dabo Swinney a number of compelling reasons to stay:

First, Clemson has established itself as one of the premier football programs in the country. Under Swinney's leadership, the Tigers have won multiple national championships and consistently compete at the highest level. The program has a winning culture and a track record of success, which can be appealing to a coach like Swinney who values sustained excellence.

Second, Clemson has a strong support system in place. The university and its boosters have shown a commitment to investing in the football program, providing the resources necessary to compete at the highest level. Swinney has built a strong relationship with the administration and has the support of the fan base, creating a stable and supportive environment.

Third, Clemson offers a great quality of life for Swinney and his family. The town of Clemson is known for its tight-knit community and family-friendly atmosphere. Swinney has deep roots in the area, having played and coached at Clemson for much of his career. This sense of familiarity and comfort can be a significant factor in his decision-making process.

Additionally, Clemson has a strong recruiting base, particularly in the talent-rich Southeast region. The program consistently attracts top-tier recruits, which has been a key factor in their success. Swinney has proven himself as an excellent recruiter and has built strong relationships with high school coaches in the area.

In conclusion, while Texas A&M may present some enticing factors, Clemson offers Swinney a winning culture, a strong support system, a great quality of life, and a strong recruiting base. These factors, combined with his deep roots in the Clemson community, make a compelling case for him to stay with the Tigers.
