Question to the Dabo lovers...
Nov 19, 2014, 8:26 AM
|

So there is no one you would trade Dabo for?
Are you kidding?
Saban, Stoops, Briles?

Not a "Dabo lover", more a Clemson fan that supports whoever is coaching/playing for my favorite team.

I support the Tigers, but I am a realist, and will "stand up for my beliefs".

Some of you don't appreciate what we have and are very vocal about your hate. What makes you think we could even attract one of those afore mentioned coaches? Some fans are under the illusion that we can have anybody we want. Why would anyone place themselves and their families in a place where they would be treated like crap if they ever dare have a difficult season or come to a school in a weak conference like the ACC. Dabo and this team deserve better than some of you are giving out. I just hope you don't run off a great staff.

If you are a fan and you never express your opinion about your team and coaches and you are always behind your guy no matter who it is, then we would still have Red Parker or West or Bowden or Hatfield.
There would never be a change till the guy died or left on his own.

I'm not suggesting you never change coaches. Just that this one does not need replacing at this point. We've had more success under Dabo than we have had since Ford. Those are facts. Why would we replace that?
Now, if he has several seasons where he only wins 6,7 games then we can talk. And Dabo would be the first to say he would deserve replacing if that happened. But right now it's crazy to even think about a change IMO.
And having your opinion is fine but I just don't agree with it. And that's my opinion.

few more wins. There are coaches that have better records that I would NO WAY NO HOW support coming to Clemson and slurrier and saban lead the list by a WIIIIIDE margin. You will se what I mean now that things are starting to unravel with the Carolina program, it is about to get ugly. Come back and tell us how much you love slurrier then.

Not gonna get any of those coaches. It's not reality.
Reality is we have a great coach and program. We don't need a new coach. We're a much better program than we have been in a long time with Dabo. I'm all in.
A good season this year with tons of adversity, injuries, etc. We have a chance to have our fourth straight 10 win season. I'd say Dabo has delivered. Talk of replacing him to me is unbelievable.

Just saying, we have a right to express whatever we believe about the guy and a program.
By the way, we can't get rid of him even if we wanted to, and Dabo knows it.
Thanks D-Rad.

So, in reality, per 'Thanks, D-Rad', you are looking to get rid of him. You live your life by the 'grass is greener elsewhere', don't you? Otherwise, why even broach such an insane topic as this? Opinion is one thing, but it should be based in some semblance of reality and acknowledge what's been accomplished. Your's lacks both. It's simply inflammatory.

What's the point of such a stupid question?
Nov 19, 2014, 8:49 AM
|

I'd prefer a Danny Ford/Bear Bryant/Vince Lombardi DNA-spliced hybrid.
But I think Dabo is becoming a great coach and he understands the big picture in regards to coaching and mentoring young men. We have and are going to continue to win a lot of games with Dabo.
I've been going to games since 1987 so I know first hand we can do a lot worse.

I have been going to games since 1958 and I also know we can do a lot worse. Any team that had the injuries we have had would suffer. All you experts who think you know who would be our best option have never seen one practice or looked at one game film.
If you are so smart, why aren't you making big bucks coaching football???

I rather have a question for YOU Sir??
Why pose this STUPID question??
I am a Dabo supporter 100% and here's why:
1. He runs our program with honesty, charecter and integrity! Period
2. He CARES about the kids he is coaching, mentoring and molding to be young MEN for life after football.
3. He loves Clemson University and represents his University the right way. See point #1 if you need further clarification.
4. He is recruiting at an insane level and bringing in kids who are of good charecter and weeding out the ones (Bellamy, Kelly, Priester, etc.) that aren't
Winning is important to all of the true fans here, but it's not the only thing. Yes, he loses some big games....ALL COACHES do!
Because of his charecter, his love for our University and that fact that he puts up with NO BS and is teaching his young men to be MEN....I wouldn't trade him for Saban, Myer, stoops and especially not Fisher!
Those qualities are rare, and we are lucky to have him!!
Go Tigers!!!

Nov 19, 2014, 9:03 AM

year is we found out we may have one of the most over rated offensive coordinators in the country in my opinion...no excuse if you are a great coach and one of the highest paid OC that we cant find SOME WAY to move the ball or get our qbs in a rhythm with easy passes like every other school in America, like I have said before was sucks about it is we aren't playing the Bama defenses of the world...we are playing teams we should still be able to move the ball on. Anyone can call an offense with TB, Sammy, Bryant, Nuk, Ellington, McDowell, and some of these great players...but when it comes down to Xs and Os with equal talent than others (well I still believe we are more talented than every team we play besides FSU) he just cant make the adjustments to get it done.

not sure we have more talent than Ga but I sure agree that out O/C should have found a way a long time ago to remedy this pitiful OFF we are playing with..ALSO, the complete failure of the COACHES to recruit Q/b`s so that we are never in this MESS!!I know that not every Q/B is capable to play @ the level required bur if we had (say 6) probably some of them would talented enough to play.. plain and simple.... COACHES RESPONSIBILITY

Re: Question to the Dabo lovers...

Right now, I'm incredibly frustrated with our program and the continued direction under Stoudt. I've been pretty vocal on here and honest with my feelings regarding a team that I've loved my entire life. I do question some of the playcalling and decisions he's made, but I'm cynical by nature and question everyone and everything. I was confused when we picked up a HS coach to run our offense, and equally confused when he named Venables to head up the defense - but Dabo proved me wrong both times, and looking back I think they're both excellent hires (and based on the sharks that form in the water every time a coach is fired, don't think I'm alone in that assessment). He's loyal, passionate, energetic and runs a clean program. Yea, I'd bench Stoudt and start Schuessler this week - but that's not my decision, and like most of the decisions he's made, he's proven me wrong a time or two. So, all that being said, I wouldn't get rid of Dabo for the world. If he were to leave, there's some coaches I'd love to see come here (Les Miles for one), but get rid of him? Absolutely not.

Why do you expect anything? what have you ever done that entitles you to anything. I get so tired of all you wanna be important people always yapping about what you deserve and expect. If you do not like the product go elsewhere that is your right and I wish you would exersise it!

Which means never. Dabo signed a ridiculous extension. What was it? 20 years? He's going to be here forever. Just accept it and move on with your life. You'll be happier. I promise.

You Mention 3 coaches. I assume you think they are the three best sense you mentioned them. Saban is great but He has the advantage of coaching Alabama & LSU before that and even with all the built in advantages those programs afford him he does not win the national title every year.
Stoops is a great coach but he has not one a national title in a long long time not even the big twelve that much despite all the recruiting advantages and the pollsters ranking them highly each year regardless.
Briles is a good coach he has brought Baylor from obscurity but he has not won any championships and his record id not any better if as good as Dabo's.
I am not knocking any of those guys they are great but Dabo has done an excellent job and the future looks even brighter
Plus Dabo brings as much off the field as he does on.
I say lets Keep Dabo over anybody
