Greg McElroy takes shot at Dabo Swinney


Oct 12, 2020, 5:35 PM

On espn this morning. Basically said people thinking Swinney could succeed in the nfl are stupid because he is basically just a rah rah coach.

Dabo would make a bad NFL coach, don’t waste your time. Go look elsewhere. We’ll just have to accept our lot and keep the rah, rah salesman. (sigh)

This guy knows what it takes to not succeed in the NFL. Maybe when Dabos coaching days are over this guy can give him pointers on how to become a very mediocre sportscaster.

Over the weekend there was an article about Houston and Coach Swinney And McElroy said he has covered Clemson for years and “we all
know he isn’t an X and O Coach”. Swinney knows football.

I don't know if Saban would have turned out to be a good coach or not, but as a Dolphins fan he was not the issue with those Dolphins. Hell he turned a 4 win team into a 9 win team in his first season and if he hadn't gotten overridden by Randy Mueller and was allowed to sign Drew Brees like he wanted to I think those late 2000s Dolphins teams with Jason Taylor and Drew Brees would have competed for super bowls.

It doesn't mean Saban was a good NFL coach, but he wasn't a complete and utter failure like Spurrier was.

Dabo is a leader and a people person more than a football technician. He also has a philosophy that may not go over well in the NFL.

At Clemson, he can selectively recruit guys that fit with how he does things. That won't work in the NFL.

I'm not worried one bit about Dabo leaving Clemson for the NFL or another college gig. Ever.

IMO, he may leave in 4-5 years to pursue things outside of football.

Re: Greg McElroy takes shot at Dabo Swinney


Oct 12, 2020, 7:07 PM

I think one of the obvious proofs of Dabo's football IQ is that folks like Venables, Scott(s), and Elliott will work for him. And if you watch him during games, he's on the horn on every play. Telling a joke, or making suggestions?

The coot radar is strong in this one.

Let me make sure I got this straight


Oct 12, 2020, 8:44 PM

1) He can't make it in the NFL
2) His coach couldn't make it in the NFL
3) Last time Dabo played his school it was a blow out

Okay Greg, what ever you say.

Clemson (including Dabo) on their First Team radio show. Of course they give their opinions, but nothing outlandish like the bald headed guy in the afternoon who says anything and everything to increase ratings. I also think he's a quality announcer on the SEC games.

Did he really say that? Do you have the quotes?


Oct 13, 2020, 12:31 AM

Honestly I don't see Dabo as an NFL guy, and I don't think he has any ideas to ever move there, but I'd like to see the "rah rah" quotes.

He's just a bitter little boy. I just LOVE the broadcast he

I don't really think Dabos greatest strengths translate


Oct 13, 2020, 8:20 AM

to the NFL either.

I think the best case scenario for Dabo is Pete Caroll, which is a quite good best case considering Pete won a SB. Unlike Dabo though, Pete had already been a DC and HC in the NFL for quite awhile before his stint at USC.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well...in fairness...


Oct 13, 2020, 8:34 AM

if anyone would know about not succeeding in the NFL, it would be Greg McElroy.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


unlike saban, dabo would probably at least give it a try***

Geville Tiger on Clemson football , "Dabo's only problem is he has to deal with turd fans questioning every move he makes.”


Savanna already proved he’s not an NFL caliber


Oct 13, 2020, 10:34 AM

Coach

He needs superior talent to win football games

How good was McElroy's NFL career?


Oct 13, 2020, 10:41 AM

Let's see. Two games played. 19-31, 1 TD, 1 INT, 11 sacks 1 lost fumble 1-1 record. Yeah, this guy know what it takes to be successful in the NFL.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe Will Muschamp would be better suited? What say you?***

Well, McElwad was such a blazing success in the NFL, surely he knows things.

Surely he's an idiot. Just another Bama boy trying to knock Dabo.

lordy you guys are way too sensitive


Oct 13, 2020, 6:11 PM

Greg has a job and that is to give his opinion and be interesting. Not every opinion is going to be in lock step with Clemson nation. So what if Greg doesn't think he would be a good NFL coach.

I would be happy if Greg is right, I don't want Dabo being tempted to go anywhere, period.

You guys remind me of trump, who whenever someone criticizes him, he doesn't address the criticism, he just calls them a fat, loser, has been. Like a baby.

So now someone has to have a long NFL career before they're allowed to give opinions on coaches/NFL?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: lordy you guys are way too sensitive


Oct 13, 2020, 6:46 PM

Personally I think Greg is right. Dabo's style is much more suited for developing young men than it is to dealing with professional football players. That's not a bad thing or a shot at Dabo, it's an acknowledgement that it takes different skill sets to succeed at the college and NFL level.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Greg McElroy takes shot at Dabo Swinney


Oct 13, 2020, 7:26 PM

I believe he could succeed at anything he wanted to. He's just built that way. Though, I also believe he is better suited for the college game.
