Saw this and it makes sense

There’s a lot of talk about how Dabo is refusing to adapt when in reality it’s Clemson fans who are refusing to adapt. In this new free agency era of CFB, there are plenty of schools that are much larger than Clemson with larger alumni and funding bases than Clemson that want to win just as much. Even though it’s not quite working right now, Dabo’s ideal of Clemson being a HS talent developmental program just may be the most realistic way for Clemson to compete in the future as we’re not going to be able to outbid the larger schools for the top “free agent” players. Clemson is a smallish school with a smallish alumni base in a smallish state where half the state hates them. It’s highly unlikely Clemson can win another National Championship in this new era of CFB no matter who the HC is, but by far IMO our best shot at competing in the long run is WITH Dabo!

Your first two sentences make some sense. The rest is bologna. We are and will remain a top level program as long as we have Dabo. Good young men want to play for him.
Oh, by the way, we will win more championships. That’s plural! Go Tigers.

I did not write it but thought it made a lot of sense.

Dabo is a competitor and plays to win, so I think you are way off on what Clemson can accomplish in the future. Go Tigers!!!!

Clemson Alumni is nowhere close to spending the cabbage other schools are spending on players and won't be. Dabo is adjusting to make it work his way and it takes time. Other schools that do have the cabbage are adjusting too, some will make it work and some won't

Ask A&M how the portal and spending oddles of money has worked for out for their school. Have friends from A&M and they would trade for our Coach and System in a heartbeat.
