Elliot/Scott and another genius move
Dec 2, 2014, 4:43 PM

Aaron Rodgers said it best... RELAX.
Dabo got this job and has embraced every moment of it, especially this week. The weight of Spurrier and the jinx of South Carolina are done. He hasn't been successful on accident. He knows exactly what he is doing. His plan has and will work.
In 2010, Chad Morris was.. wait, who was he? He coached at Tulsa. He was one year removed from HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. He had one year of experience at the college level, and guess who sniffed out the potential. Dabo. The message boards then were the same then as they have been since Morris went to SMU. "we need a guy with experience.. blah blah blah." Some people disagree with certain play calls under Morris, but no one can argue that he has evolved this offense to an entirely new level.
Dabo, just like everyone else has probably heard the rumors. He probably heard that Scott wanted a shot at the job or he would go somewhere else. Dabo doing what he does best, realized that he can't let that happen. Scott has brought in countless recruits that otherwise would have ended up having tons of success against us rather than for us.
So he did what he does best. He made the best of the situation. Just as he did when he brought in Morris, or even Venables. The guy has a plan. He will stick to the plan. It will work.
Naming co-coordinators for at least the bowl game bought him more time, and shut everyone up because Elliot and Scott will have to make the game plan and call the plays, Morris is gone. It's completely up to them. If it doesn't work out, what happens? I believe Scott would then stay on staff because he was at least given the chance, however i believe this will work and that won't be an issue.
The co-coordinator plan for the bowl game allows Dabo to see what he has working with him already before trying to steal a coordinator from someone else. Why look anywhere but home if you have what you need right here already.
I love the decision, I support Dabo and think he is an absolutely great coach in the aspect of realizing potential when he sees it. I believe this decision plays out greatly and Elliot along with Scott produce a great game plan that will look very similar to the Chad Morris game plan, with possibly a few spice ups.
He had a plan with Morris and Venables (both which worked out) and he has a plan with this opening.
So once again I tell my fellow tiger fans, RELAX and enjoy. Go tigers!

Dabo isn't Tommy

I think we can all agree this is different. Plus we changed offenses back then.

I don't see how Tommy and Dabo can be compared. Tommy got us 3 nine win seasons and the west end zone. 10 years- zero acc titles or appearances, 3 nine win seasons, 2 eight win seasons, and then whatever else from there pretty much. Dabo in 6 years, 2 eleven win seasons, a 10 win season and an acc title, 2 nine win seasons and another acc title trip in 2009, with this year TBD whether we win the bowl, and one bad year unfortunately in 2010. I'm not trying to call you out by any means I just think Coach Swinney is more qualified and has way more credibility to hire and fire whomever within the program.

Loyal to a fault. How did the co-starter at qb work this fall? I hope I'm wrong.
