Dabo is a class act

My wife set up a suprise meeting with Coach Swinney and the football team after my unit came home from Afghanistan. He is a great person and he really loves Clemson University. I have nothing but respect for Coach Swinney.

Unfortunately that doesn't make you a good football coach.

I have never claimed to be a football coach. I am just a fan.

You really need to learn sarcasm when you see it! Your response brought about his! Go read your response again! "Unfortunately that doesn't make "YOU" a good football coach" instead of ...make him a good... Good luck in school!

I'm thinking that was sarcasm. If not, it still made me chuckle

How is pointing out the truth a negative? This is the real

problem with pumpers and TNET. Any comment or statement not overtly positive or pumping sunshine, regardless of how generic, is bashed as negative.

I refuse to argue with you...all i will say is, given the purpose and context of the original post, was that response needed?
The man is a veteran thanking dabo for visiting with him. The poster never said anything about dabos coaching, he only said he thought dabo is a classy guy. Period

It does not make you a bad one either.

Given the choice of being a good person or a good coach, I'd chooce a good person, but the two don't have to be exclusive. If we have sunken to the world where only the lying, cheating, win at all cost can win, how sad. As much as I love football and especially Clemson football, it is ultimately just football. A good coach is charged not with just growing good athletes but good men. A good man who is also a good coach is going to attract not just talented players but also good young men. I would want my son playing for not only a good coach but also a good man. Most good young men come from good stock and have good parents guiding them. We have seen what can happen to talented players who don't make good choices or have the work ethic to go with it.

Wow. Nice in theory, but incredibly flawed. 72% of black

children are born to single moms and over 50% of scholarship football players are black. Many white children also come from either single mothers or raised by one parent due to divorce. These kids are not sitting around the fire drinking hot cocoa having warm n fuzzy discussions with mommy & daddy about which school to attend.
They go where they feel they fit in, where they think they'll get the quickest and most amount of playing time, and where they think will win and help the develop into an NFL prospect.
Rainbows & unicorns are NOT part of the equation.

I'm a single mom, and I'm a good person.

What difference does it make if 50% are black? There are good people of all races. Nowhere did I say that all good young men come from a two parent white upbringing. You don't have to sit around drinking cocoa to know the difference between right and wrong and have parents or a parent who teaches you right from wrong and cares about you. There are exceptions of resilient young men who overcome a bad upbringing, but it sure is easier when you grow up in a home with values, and I do not equate money with values.
