The thing those people keep overlooking is the fact that

he's been at Clemson for 16 years and counting. At some point, his roots here are going to go deeper than they do at Bama.
I'm not saying he'll never leave, but I think Bama people are underestimating his ties to Tiger Town.

Bama fired him.

Yeah, it was a long time ago, but I wouldn’t forget it. Would you? Drove him out of what he loves, coaching, and into commercial real estate. Tommy Bowden and Clemson offered him the chance to get back on the path, and has supported him in every possible way. Why would he go to Tuscaloosa? He’s not stupid.
There’s nothing special about Tuscaloosa. Bear was special. Saban is special. But other than those two guys, Bama is ordinary.
Now Clemson, Clemson is special and you know it the second you set foot on campus.

You beat me to it! Since everyone has a character flaw somewhere, and we haven't found Dabo's yet, maybe he holds grudges!! They fired him and he ain't goin back, they had their chance!

I think it’s more likely Saban tries to come here and learn at the foot of Brent Venables for a few years.

You never immediately follow a sports legend. The bar has been set too high. Majority of coaches who follow a legend in college FB BB, fail to live up to the standards set. Alabama will NOT tolerate losing even 1 or 2 games a yr.and not winning the SEC and playing for a natty. Same at Duke and UNC in BB.
Roy Williams would not follow Dean Smith. He waited until some fool followed Dean and failed. Then Williams came in and saved the day. Same will happen at Duke when CK leaves. Same will happen at Bama when Saban leaves. Dabo may then go to Bama. But he will not follow Saban. And if CU keeps winning under Dabo and playing for the natty, he will not leave. As long as he is paid well, why leave and put yourself under the pressure of a new situation.
Dabo can be a legend at Clemson. He would have to share the spotlight w.Bear/Saban at Bama, IF he came close to being as good. It will be almost impossible for anyone to win 6 natties or more at Bama before Saban leaves.
Ties to Bama did not get Frank Howard or Danny Ford to leave. They loved Clemson and I don't think Dabo will leave. We need to do everything we can to keep him and everything we can to support the program in every way possible to give him the tools he needs to recruit and win.
All IMO.

Hasn't his children grown up in Clemson?
At some point Bama stops being "home" and becomes the place where he grew up.
Clemson gave him an opportunity and I don't see him forgetting that anytime soon.

they have no job. Who cares if they talk about this??? I'm interested in football talk, but stuff about Dabo means nothing.
