NFL, worse than being the coach for the Coots in Columbia, just ask Spurrier.
Dabo can stay at Clemson and be a College Football Legend when he retires.
Like Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden, Bud Wilkinson, Saban, etc....
He can get the best players and coaches in the Nation, and develop them to move on or come back to Clemson!
As long as the Clemson Nation has Dabo's back, he will stay in God's Country for years.

But could be wrong. I think Dabo is similar to Coach K in regards to this issue. Coach K was offered the Lakers job years ago and could have made any amount he wanted. Chose to stay at Duke. Dabo is similar in many regards. I sincerely can’t see this happening. Last NFL game I went to, it’s just not the same. Sort of a trashy atmosphere if you ask me. And not exactly getting better. Boring people if you ask me. Love seeing college kids and the spirit they bring. I would much rather be around a college program.

Yep, I would almost bet if I was gambler, and I'm not bc I have a better use for my money than risking it to another gambler. But I can see the college coaches that we continue to beat down, them calling NFL owners and GM's telling them how they would bet that Dabo would make a great NFL HC. They know if Dabo was to take the bait, that their college careers would be over if Dabo failed in the NFL and came back to the college level. BUT, I really don't think Dabo is that stupid, and why would he bc, he makes as much money as most NFL coaches do, and as he has said, he can sign more than one #1 player in college, and the NFL can only afford to purchase one of those culebra players, and winning NFL teams can't stay on top bc if they try and the owner isn't a multiple billionaire, he would go bankrupt with trying to pay high profile players. I don't think that there is any worry about Dabo leaving Clemson for an NFL HC job!!!

No chance. Dabo doesn’t want to deal with all the divas and political drama surrounding the NFL and their players. Only next step is away from coaching altogether.

Re: TNET: Former NFL GM sees potential 'perfect storm' of Swinney, Lawrence going pro together


Aug 31, 2020, 1:13 PM

I personally don't see Dabo leaving Clemson for the NFL or anywhere, but what makes you so sure he'd be so against coaching in the NFL? This is a quote from him a few years ago:

“I’m very happy where I am and I’m very happy coaching college football,” Swinney said a few months ago. “The great thing about college players is a chance to really build young men, on and off the field. But the NFL is great. I love the NFL. I would never say never. But right now, I’m a college coach.”

Also, is the NFL not made up of players who played in college? At what point do they stop being quality young men and start being divas? I'm not saying the NFL doesn't have any divas, but I wouldn't say that most players are either. Which recent Clemson players have turned into divas in the NFL for instance?

Uhhhhhh - at the point they almost instantly have more money in their bank account than most of us will ever see in our lifetime cumulative.

And sure - that is the top level guys - but they ALL make a ton of money that make it MUCH harder to mold & shape them - which is where our guy is incredible and it is where he apparently gets his fulfillment.

A few months ago the atmosphere in pro sports was not as politically charged as it is now. Dabo has a secure job that he likes. I don't see him wanting to leave it for that kind of atmosphere.

I think that Dabo will be connected to college FB in some way until he is put in the ground bc I believe that he truly cares about developing young men into men as much and probably more than he loves coaching FB, and he can't do that as a full time NFL HC. Like I've already said, Dabo will never coach NFL FB!!!

Dabo isn't interested in any NFL Head Coaching offer, period!!! He has it made at Clemson, and he is making more money at little ole Clemson than most NFL head coaches make. And Dabo could if he wanted to, take the Job AT Bama, and make more than Clemson could afford to pay him. And knowing that, and knowing that your job has everything to do with being satisfied where you work, and being satisfied with the amount of money you're making. So far, Dabo is satisfied with both at Clemson!!!!

Aug 31, 2020, 1:20 PM

They don't understand how anyone could put college football over the Pros. But when you get down south you can't understand why anyone would waste a sunday on the pro's (other than following your Fantasy Football stats). In my mind its college at #1 and high school and pro's tied at #2. High school may have a slight edge in the south though.

As a yankee let me try and explain it to you...


Aug 31, 2020, 4:04 PM [ in reply to Its funny how yankees view the NFL vs College ]

Pro sports, particulary football was a working man thing. Men got to hang out on Sundays and drink beer without the wives. In the 60's and 70's it was prime, hang out with the guy's, male bonding activity. If you were close to Philadelphia, NY, Pittsburgh, etc., then you went to the games. Tailgating was pulling up in a car already half tanked and then the real drinking began. You could travel to watch you team play in NY or Philadelphia and you rooted for your team but if you talked trash, someone was gonna throw you a beatin.

If you watched the games at home during the 60's and 70's, the men watching them took it pretty serious. They did cry about penalties. They wanted to see clean hard hits. These were guys that didn't go for spiking the football after touchdowns.

If guys were college football fans they were most likely Notre Dame fans because they were catholic. No guys bought season tickets to Penn State games unless you were an alumni. And then you went with the women folk. Now Penn State football is big time, and so was Pitt, Syracause and so was Maryland to so extent. Penn State tailgating in the 70's and 80's rivaled anything you see down south. It was just a lot colder in the winter.

Re: As a yankee let me try and explain it to you...


Aug 31, 2020, 6:40 PM

In the '60s and '70's, one would have to travel 50 miles outside of the city to watch a home game- blackout rule wasn't changed until 1976. I did this with my dad a couple of times. I distinctly remember watching Gayle Sayers running wild against the Giants at Yankee Stadium in 1965. He was amazing. Those were the days of heroes- Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Fran Tarkenton, Don Meredith, Bart Starr, Y.A. Tittle, Lenny Moore, Sayers, to name a few. And then there were the monsters liken Ray Nitschke, Sam Huff, Deacon Jones, #### Butkis, Bob Lilly, Willie Wood, Mel Renfro. And of course, the fledgling AFL. Most of us just looked down our noses at them until Joe Willie decided to rearrange our noses. :)

The thing about people in the league or people who have been in the league is they think people come running at any chance to be a part of it. The comparison of Dabo to Pete Carroll is easily the worst case he could have made. Carroll the cheater fled USC one step ahead of probation and had been in the league before and washed out so it was a way for him to try it again.

Many on this bandwagon, whether it is head injuries or paying players, are just trying to destroy college football period. It’s always a slow fade but you can see it if you recognize those in charge of colleges/universities. Sadly, I think they will win within 10-15 years.

For what its worth: I couldn't see Dabo moving into a role like that. Not because of his talent but because he is Great in what he would probably see as his primary role, building young men into better,true men. At the same time developing humility, character and keeping players grounded. His role on this side of the game I would think is a stronger influence than it would be at the next level. As another poster said there are a lot of divas on the next level.

Aug 31, 2020, 1:58 PM

Even six months ago I'd have thought this was insane. However now that college players are going to get paid (which will put Clemson at a huge recruiting disadvantage they didn't have before) and Dabo is going to have to pretend to be distraught every time a criminal gets shot by a cop, I could easily see him either retire from coaching or take a huge NFL payday and leave the recruiting to the college teams with much deeper pockets. Once he starts losing recruits to the usual suspects and settles back into winning 9-10 games a season with no real shot at a NC, the life of being a college coach won't be nearly as glamourous as it has been the last few years. He does have it made here but even the natives will grow restless after a few three or four loss seasons.

Aug 31, 2020, 4:58 PM

One of the main reasons he likes working with the College age crowd is that he can reach out to them with the message of salvation. I can't see him happy in a Godless NFL where he will not be allowed to honor God as he does now. To a true man of God being able to share his faith is bigger than any paycheck.
