Lifetime contract


Jan 8, 2019, 9:17 PM

Not a huge fan of hypothetical scenarios and don’t want to get caught up in the moment, but I guess I’m going to do both.

Would you be in favor of a “lifetime contract” for Dabo Swinney? Similar to what Coach K has at Duke.

I’d imagine the perimeters would be something along the lines of guaranteed average salary of the 3-5 highest paid coaches and gigantic buyout clauses for both sides.

This would pretty much shutdown any NFL/Bama talk and setup continuity for Clemson football for the next 20 years (assuming Dabo wants to coach that long).

Is it too early in Dabo’s career for something like this? Would either side have a strong reason to object to this type of contract?

Offer him a 12-15 yr deal, not lifetime. A lot can happen***

Agree...

I’d offer a 35-40 year contract, but still agree.

Dabo will not leave Clemson to go back to Bama. He is now the greatest coach in Clemson history with 2 Nattys. No need to go back to Bama when he is well on his way to becoming the Bear Bryant of something he created.

Now as far as a life time contract....not sure that can work but we are about to most definitely pony up some more Benjamin’s.

Would you still love him after three years of 6-6?

Probably because 3 seasons like that would probably be the refs going hard in the paint on us after we win our 5th straight natty :)

Great minds think alike!

Again, I try not to get caught up in the moment and there might be a chance that Dabo isn’t built to coach for another 20-25 years, but if both sides felt the same about each other, not so sure this type of contract is all that crazy.

One person on your thread suggested Dabo’s agent would never allow it and if he did, it would be completely one sided. The agent wouldn’t like it because his job as Dabo’s agent would be in jeopardy and one would hope Clemson is smart enough not to get into a one sided contract.

The one concern would be the possibility of Dabo becoming complacent and start turning in routine 7-win seasons.
