not taking transfers is a huge mistake on Dabos part.

I clearly understand the philosophical loyalty part of Dabo stance on transfers. “We’re loyal to you and we want you to be loyal to us”. I get it. Here’s where Dabo‘s philosophy falls apart. Since Clemson dominance ended after 2020, the football landscape has changed, and the top programs are poaching star players from lesser programs to fill holes created by injury, or recruiting busts. This is how the top programs stay on top now. Clemson is not a mid major, Clemson is a destination school and has the leverage to draw from other programs. Clemson can employee strategy of going out and taking star players from lesser schools to shore up weaknesses, like defensive end, for example, this year. Our competitors are doing just this, and each year we’re falling further and further behind. For the fourth consecutive year, Clemson will likely not be a part of the college football playoff. Dabo is paid to win football games, not to stick to a philosophy that is not working. What’s worse, , at this point Dabo was unlikely to back off of his philosophy, because that is admitting he was wrong. If we continue to stick to a strategy that is not working, simply due to a philosophical stance, it is, in effect , Dabo failing to do his job as head coach. To me, it would be like a telecommunications company refusing to offer mobile phone plans 30 years ago because they thought it was just a “fad”and would die out. It would be the telecommunications company that would die. Clemson football is on this track. If Dabo does not reverse his stance and implement a strategy of using experienced players to plug holes in his program, we will not be able to keep up with the top programs. Soon, those 2018 national championship T-shirts will start to fade, and Clemson‘s dominance will be a distant memory.
