Dabo has already surpassed TB in a number of ways

I'm sure it was in jest, but it's hard to even make that kind of comparison. TB laid the foundation that Dabo built on, but hasn't shown the same propensity to choke against lesser opponents. And we've still won plenty of games we weren't favored in.

Please explain how Tommy Bowden laid the foundation. Sure Dabo had some of his recruits like Spiller, Jacoby Ford, and Ellington. Dabo recruited all of the D players and his own guys with the likes of Sammy, Tay and all of the others. Dabo also had to endure after that I don't want to say anything bad Bowden left all of the recruits and players deciding to not come to Clemson and transfer else where. Dabo laid this foundation and his is still building on to it hopefully everything works out great.

TB improved facilities drastically, got recruiting back up

And let us not forget that he hired Dabo, and even pointed at him as his successor.
Talent was never a problem for TB teams. His staffs bagged some great players, which ultimately helped Dabo do even better in that regard. TB just couldn't get them over the hump, but he got us most of the way.
Which is part of why a brand new, rookie HC came in and had so much success. A lot of that is Dabo, but he was enabled by TB. Dabo didn't inherit a dumpster fire. He ended up with a nice Bugatti that was in bad need of a tune-up.

fashion. He is nowhere near Dabo in passion, emotion, culture, or player development, not to mention staff. Bowden did good things with facilities and recruited well but our teams vastly underachieved year after year. Say what you want, we had NFL talent on his teams that was underdeveloped and motors did not always run hot....a true sign of a flat, passionless culture. Dabo and his staff run circles around TB and his staff and Dabos teams are light years ahead in culture and passion. TB is a good man but over his head at a big time D1 program. Mark it down, Dabo will retire with a NC or two and in the ROH. His program is about to wreck shop for years to come.

the HC who does the least with the most year after year

Which warms my heart because I detest them. Check number of UGa guys in the NFL then look at UGa performance every year. It's comical and couldn't happen to a better crowd.
