Re: You shouldn't expect Dabo to speak in absolutes.

Like I've said before here, Dabo and his family loves it at Clemson. Sure he has roots in Alabama, but he and Kathleen have planted new young and strong roots in Clemson while the longer he's at Clemson, those roots in Alabama are shrinking and drying up with his success at Clemson, and the roots that Dabo and Kathleen have planted at Clemson are getting bigger, deeper, and stronger. There will come a time when Dabo and his family will get over the coaching scene at Clemson and when that day comes, Dabo and Kathleen's roots in Clemson will be to strong for them to leave. It's just like many of us planted new roots away from where our parents grew theirs. It's the same as most of American blood lines came to America from different countries!!! Your home is where you go to bed at night, and you are happy the next morning where you woke up at....

You shouldn't expect Dabo to speak in absolutes.

I grew up with people who refused to say "I will," because it stepped on God's will. When I asked my great grandmother to do something she always said 'If the Lord wills.'

Dabo made it clear to Finebaum that he never said never. Knowing of Dabo's faith in God and his desire to allow God to remain the authority in his life will give you some insight into Dabo's addressing a potential Bama offer.

"Ten years from now, Alabama may call me and want me to come to Alabama and Clemson people may hate me at that point I may have a terrible president or AD, there are dynamics that change." Dabo

Since I'm Tnet's resident heathen I'll translate that to heathen so anyone can understand it.

I'm here until you hire some power monger who ruins Clemson's football program and makes the Clemson family hate me and want to hire someone else.

"I have always focused on being great at where I'm at and blooming where I'm planted. All I know is there is nothing we can't do here at Clemson. I don't have to go somewhere else to win at the highest level."

God wants me here and I know there are no greener pastures. Dabo is most likely referring to a Bible verse in that statement.

Psalms 1:3 "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

That's as absolute as it gets when you're dealing with a man of God like Dabo so when Bama fans tell you Dabo will be their next coach just tell them, 'If the Lord wills.'
