Dabo on hiring coach Reed. Basically said he was a nice guy

when they ran into each other on the recruiting trail and carried himself well. Then you get to his success on the football field. Really? Wow!
I am one of Dabo's biggest supporters and think he has done a great job, but I couldn't believe it when he named Billy Napier as offensive coordinator and I can't believe this hire.

I don't think he had much choice with Napier.

I think Clemson still micromanages him on many things.
How did you feel about the Morris and Venables hires?

Venables hire. AS I said, I hope Dabo is here for decades and am very pleased with the job he's done. But it doesn't mean I don't ever question a decision.

mean we can't ever discuss or question a decision. I was in the stadium November 17 and I've never witnessed our offense operate with such ease.

we did pretty good against lsu's db's,too. sometimes we have to give credit where credit is due, and not try to pin the blame on 1 coach, or the players. we had a little something to do with that, i'm sure.

Glad you could summarize for us...

I'd give anything to have every single thought, intention, decision or whatever that some folks on this board go through posted and psycho-analyzed.
Maybe, just maybe, there are details YOU DON'T KNOW...
Sorry man, I hate to call you out...but second guessing Dabo EVERY chance people get is getting REALLY old considering what he's accomplished.

He was speaking to his character. I would hope that fans see that a coach can already coach after that many years in the business. It seems Dabo looks for character and substance first then the coaching.

NC St secondary will have 2 NFL draft picks this year. I know we lit them up, but did real well vs FSU. They had 2 good years during past 2 seasons. And he can recruit which we can use in NC.

I couldn't agree more! He has won 21 games past 2 years with an ACC title and a win in Chick fil a bowl over LSU!! If you told Clemson fans this 3 years ago they would sign on in a second!!

here were monitoring that hire very closely, hoping he wouldn't go back to Tulsa for the head job. But certainly many people did question the hire. That is all I am doing with thi Reed hire. Just not real happy with it. I guess I could say our secondary couldn't have been worse this past year, but that would not be true. It could have been worse. It could have been NC State level bad.
