Dabo: The Trendsetter


Feb 6, 2016, 5:13 PM

Over the years, I've often heard Gamecock fans ridicule Dabo Swinney for his affable, animated behavior on interviews and with recruits and for his recruiting-first approach to coaching. They called him dumb, clownish, and unprofessional because he dances with players, lifts up female announcers, and screams to high heaven about the greatness of Clemson to anyone who will listen.

What I find ironic is that, when Steve Spurrier resigned (i.e., quit) mid-season last year, Shawn Elliott, the liveliest, most player-friendly member of his staff, was allowed to serve as interim head coach. Why wasn't a more austere person chosen? Further, was a stoical man hired as the permanent head coach? Not at all. Instead, fiery Will Muschamp was given the reins. From what I've gathered, his main selling point during the introductory press conference concerned his recruiting prowess, not X's and O's. In other words, Gamecocks appear to be trying to find their own version of Dabo.

By the way, even stern Jim Harbaugh of Michigan is dabbing with recruits. I have also heard that Alabama's Nick Saban is beginning to loosen up a bit.

Has Dabo become a trendsetter for today's generation of coaches?
