ANOTHER DANNY FORD TYPE BLUNDER
Jul 7, 2022, 11:53 AM

Clemson's last 3 coaches before Dabo had a combined record of 135-86, with a combined winning % of .615 HC DABO has a record of 150-35 with a winning % of .811. These numbers to point out that the BOD and Neff need to DO WHAT DABO WANTS TO DO about Clemson's conference affiliation is what CLEMSON should do. If not the Tigers situation could end up like what happened with Coach Ford and possibility losing Coach Swinney. I don't have a crystal ball, but if the President and the BOD had given Coach Ford an "athletic dorm", something that ALL the Big Time schools, that Danny was recruiting against, had or were in the processing of getting, there is no telling how many National Championship Clemson would have won in the years since 1989. As the above stats show and prove, the BIG difference in Football at Clemson is definitely Coach Dabo, everyone in a position of authority should very seriously listen to him and do what he thinks is best for CLEMSON, if not we may go back to the winning ways of his last three (3) predecessors, which would not make anyone on this board happy.

Some people think there are more important things at an institution of higher learning than sports. Crazy.

but Clemson as an institution relies, like most universities, on athletic teams doing well since that's where the common folk, grads & public learn about that particular school (good or bad)..
and stats show thousands more potential new students (and new supporting fans) want to be involved with a school with a particular sports program that is killing it..
thus $ to grow or survive.

Totally agree here. Our BOT has come a long way since

the 1980's in terms of fully embracing football, in particular, as an integral function of the university's overall mission to its students and alumni. Instead of fighting it and trying to put it in its place, they have embraced it as part of our school's identity. Like it or not, football plays a massive role in overall public awareness, attracting resources, and bringing alumni together for the many schools that emphasize it.
Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Wisconsin, USC, Oregon, pretty much every SEC school save for Vandy, FSU, Va Tech, and now Clemson all get this. What would Nebraska be without football? A great case study on the reverse is what happened to Miami when Donna Shalala took over as Chancellor and tamped down the reliance on football to build its brand. It wandered the desert for twenty years. Same as us in a way after Ford until our BOT finally came around and saw the light.

I'd be very surprised if Dabo isn't consulted.***

Clemson didn't lose Coach Ford

They fired him! And Clemson struggled for years afterwards. But I get what your saying. But Dabo probably has had more support from the Board than his last four predecessors. Tommy Bowden didn't get a lot of support. And they down right hated Ford. So I'm thankful that today they are more supportive.
