Clemson football is evolving

JD (from On3) on Clemson. Quotes that stood out:

"There is a willingness to change. This is kind of what makes Clemson scary for the rest of College football."

"Let's get a DC from a team who was a game away from playing for a national championship. A DC who is going to be aggressive."

"This DC hire, plus the portal moves by Clemson, continues to tell us that Clemson football is evolving".

"Clemson is still a big dog, Clemson still has real juice behind that logo and internally, to see them flex a little bit, to see them make a move like this - I would be very excited if I am fan of Clemson".

Don't do JD like that. That's not Josh Pate.

ended up preaching that crap about unchanging, unwilling to change with the game. Now Dabo has finally found a few transfers who fit our culture and may at last have found a DC who fits and can fill our needs the narrative changes to 'Finally, Dabo is evolving.'

That's pure horsechit. Message boards and talking heads don't change a man like Dabo. Perhaps the NIL/Portal system was such that players were feeling around in the dark due to the new opportunities. After seeing several guys swap schools a couple times and several teams hire new hitmen some might have seen the reality that coaches can deport them through the portal as easily and without guilt as they can sell themselves to the highest bidder.

The game has a few changes but it's still football. Dabo has picked up a few players which, I believe, were probably looking for someone trustworthy and a good evaluator which didn't think the portal was the end all to end all. Security is a factor, imo.

That talking head was a dumper and all his musings about Clemson are based on the idiocy of his previous musings. He was part of the national carelessness of those who proclaimed Clemson was finished as a top team.

BS then, BS now!

Good perspective ClemsonTiger88.
There isn't anything Dabo needs to do to prove anything to these people. What I am surprised at is the number in the fanbase here on Tnet who were ready to write Dabo off, saying he won't change, the game has passed him by, etc.. I don't see many of those posters as much lately.
