I must agree. However, saying the '18 team is his best is OK.

He's just poking at the Media. He knows they would NEVER say it about Clemson, but fall all over themselves to say it about Alabama.
A great thing about this year is the busting of the SEC myth. Even the talking heads have been admitting it.

No he was not. He said no team has ever done it before, not just Clemson. Idk why people have to read into it. He said we’re the best because no one has done what we done. Until someone can go 15-0 in today’s era he’s right. No need to interpret. Best ever.

No, I'm not reading anything into it. He is plainly talking about our seniors wanting to be the best class ever in Clemson history..
Watch this again from the 8:00 min mark.
http://www.tigernet.com/e/update/WATCH-Swinney-says-2018-team-is-Best-ever-after-National-title-parade-32170
Dabo is not saying that our team was better than all other college teams, ever. He is saying that the 2018 team was the best ever in Clemson history. Just listen to the metrics that he uses to make that claim. Beat FSU 4 times, needed to win 50 games, etc.

response to the talk all year of this Alabama team being the best ever. When you combine that with the 15-0 thing, it kind of makes sense

We just stomped a mudhole in the team ESECN proclaimed as the greatest team ever. Dabo isn't wrong.

I'm less of a fan on the "1st ever 15-0 team", since that

wasn't even possible in the modern era, to just four years ago! But we are the first ever, undefeated CFP champion!

My take is he was saying that this is the best Clemson
Jan 12, 2019, 4:39 PM

team ever. I have to agree with him on that because never have we had a team come close to winning 15 games with the majority of them by more than 20 points. With all due respect to the '81 team and the '16 team as well as some of those powerhouses Howard had this is the best Clemson team ever. As for the best team ever of any school you can go ahead and argue about that and I will sit back and watch because that is completely opinion based and no real world facts.

along. We're 15-0, no one has done that lately. We beat the previous best football team ever. Badly. Bama was the best football team ever until they played us. Now we are. Hopefully it's a while before the next man steps up. GT gets the first shot.

Not a big fan of someone saying how great they are either. But I think Dabo was talking about Best Clemson team - although it’s hard to compare teams objectively across different years and different eras. There is no question though that the Tigers beat the best of the best this year - and beat them handily!! And there were many claims during the year by many different sources that this Alabama team was the best ever!!

"Best Ever" is not an opinion, it's a fact, backed up by data. Clemson is the only team in the modern era of college football to go 15-0. The senior class tied bama for the most career wins in college football history at 55. The experts all said bama was the best team ever, and we beat them badly Monday night. We're now the best ever.

A-LA-BAMA #2. A-LA-BAMA #1.
IT's ALABAMA, then everybody else.-Stephen A
Year after year we have to listen to "SEC speed, SEC defense, SEC running game, SEC linemen ba-la-ba, ba-la-ba-la."
ESPiN started this and Dabo put it to bed with a 44-16 askwhuppin of all top five. best in the ultraverse, underverse, oververse and all dimensional teams at the same time. History was made, we beat the all time top five football teams in just 60 minutes. Demoralized, possibly ending a ESPiN fabricated from the ground up, Dynasty.
Dabo is as reasonable and objective as any man on the planet and has the patients of Job but even Job got his nerves rattled there toward the end. ESPiN has deserved a good dose of what they've been dishing out for over a decade, good old fashioned down home rhetoric which southerners call smackdown.
IMO, ESPiN's claim was outrageous. There is no way to compare teams from different times, systems, players, competition and styles but they started it on a foundation poured in the same then built upon that foundation year after year. What did the expect.
If you start claiming a team keeps getting better year after year for years then make the outrageous statement that they are the best of all time before the year has ended and another team comes along and beats them like a rented mule you get exactly what you built. A illusion built upon a delusion.
Dabo is rightfully shoving it up their pootshoots with a red hot poker.

I think the comment is related to Dabo's speech where he described how he encouraged the team to be the best. He said to be the best you have to be ready to accomplish something no one else has done. And we did that. Best team of all time based on that.
Go Tigers!!!

I've had so much enjoyment re our championship I haven't had time to find something with which I can disagree or complain about. And, looking at my schedule, it's so full of happiness I will have to postpone that task until sometime in 2029 or, thereabouts. when I become a senior citizen.

15-0 is the best ever in football as it is played today. Besides, Dabo is always recruiting. It's more about that than bragging.

Granted, the 15 wins are pretty much limited to teams that have made the playoffs, but ... to win 15 ... and ... win the last two in the totally dominating fashion Clemson did is nothing any team has EVER done before.

That’s just the starters...
