and I thought I would just give my thoughts in a new post so, here is my honest opinion. I think hate is too strong to describe the true feelings of non-Clemson fans and the media. I think Dabo is over-exposed and people are just tired of hearing from him and about him. They always "ooh and ah" over the new shiny penny and Dabo is the old crusty one.
We are a fickle society and our love and admiration wanes very quickly. Because of his success, Dabo became a media darling. They loved to write and show the "aw shucks, humble Dabo" and he played that part incredibly well. The problem is, and I truly mean no disrespect, I think some of it started to go to his head and he changed, particularly after the 2nd NC. He commented on absolutely everything wrong with college football and the media lapped it up, but also bided their time until they could use it against him. Remember, they get paid to drive clicks and eyeballs and they don't care if that comes from building someone up or tearing them down. Either way, they win and they care nothing about the aftermath they leave behind.
It just feels like this is where we are, both as a program and as a perception from the outside. Only one thing will solve it... WINNING!

The awwww shucks thing is endearing to outsiders when you are the underdog; once you are made - it is a bit less endearing to that same population.
As you mention - admiration wanes.

in 2019 during our 29 game win streak and 2 titles in 3 years. Maybe he can begin to rekindle it now though.

The Ted Lasso of college football

But with most college football fans, there are many that "hate" (perhaps dislike) just because of the jealousy of the success of another program - the hurt they feel, thinking "why can't my team be as successful" (USC) - then listening to Dabo's speech after getting whipped has to really hurt and create that animosity. The history of our Ohio State games come to mind - 31-0; then the playoff game that got away from them; not to mention the Woody Hayes incident (pretty good history of cry baby coaches there)

I don't disagree. Like I said, we like to build them up and then tear them down. People loved the NE Patriots and Tom Brady, until they didn't. Success breeds contempt.
