How good of a coach is Dabo, really?


Sep 14, 2014, 12:15 PM

Have to bring up a very telling statistic between us and the coots. And yes, and as much as I hate to admit it, for the time being the coots have surpassed us. Clemson's two biggest games each year: the coots and FSU. The coots two biggest games each year: Clemson and UGA. Clemson has only won one of the past 9 games against the coots and FSU(zero wins against the coots in that time span). The coots have won 9 out their last 10 against Clemson and UGA.

That's an embarrassment, that the coots are excelling so much better than we are on the two biggest games of each season. The coots win yesterday just shows how poorly prepared we were for UGA. UGA defensively ran the same game plan that they ran against us for the 2nd half. They stacked up against the run and dared Dylan Thompson to beat them, and he did. Georgia is terrible on defense, and we only had 15 yards of offense against them in the 2nd half. And please don't use the oline as an excuse. The oline has played poorly the past 3 seasons, and yet we have had no issues in moving the ball. They played poorly last season against UGA, yet we still won.

We have been bringing in highly rated offensive linemen, and we even have had a few olinemen on NFL rosters the past few years. Dalton Freeman went undrafted, but is currently on the Jets 53 man roster. Now a few of those guys have been cut, but we don't have a talent issue on the oline. The issue on the oline is coaching. The oline should have been a strength last year, but it was another year of line that didn't play in unison. A coaching change on the oline should have been made after last season.

In Dabo's time here at Clemson he has only had to deal with two moments of heavy fan criticism. The first was after the 2010 season, the second was last week when he played Stoudt for the first 3 series of the second half over Watson, when the outcome of the game was a foregone conclusion in the 1st half. Both times Dabo has lashed out at the fans instead of addressing the issues at hand. Our previous 3 coaches Ken Hatfield, Tommy West, and Tommy Bowden took more criticism in one month from the fans than Dabo has received his whole time as head coach at Clemson. Yet, not once did you hear them lash out at the fans. When you're dealing with criticism the worst thing to do is to lash out at the fans.

Over the past 3 seasons we have had success we haven't had in a long time. And that's a good thing. But we aren't making any strides at taking the next step and competing for a national title. Considering our continuing poor performances against FSU and SCU, and the fact when we lose, we lose bad. Have we peaked under Dabo?

So far in Dabo's HC career, he has been a great recruiter who has been able to motivate the team after bad losses and come back with a win. But they are always those 2-3 games per year where the team is not prepared to play and have that deer in the headlights look. That's something that is a dangerous trend. The bad losses are unacceptable, especially since they are mostly coming against FSU and SCU.

This weeks game against FSU is going to tell us a lot about where Dabo is as a head coach. Can he get the team prepared for a big game that's not coming after a bad loss? Can he make the tough decisions that put us in the best possible scenario to win the game? Is loyalty to certain players going to effect putting in the players that give us the best chance to win? Can the oline actually come out and play with a mean streak, for once?

I've been a big Dabo supporter, but given our record since 2010 against the coots and FSU, and add in that the coots excel in their two biggest games of the season while we play horrible, the terrible losses, gives reason for concern on taking this program to the next level.

We, as fans can't get upset when SCU comes in ranked higher preseason. When the coots always play well in their two biggest games of the season, and we came out an lay a turd in our two biggest games of the season.

We, as fans can't get mad that some pundit rates Dabo as the 34th best coach in the country, when we have lost to our rivals 5 years in a row.

We, as fans can't whine when pundits rate other coaches in the ACC ahead of Dabo. Those coaches don't have the talent Dabo has, and aren't routinely in embarrassed in their two main games of the season.

We, as fans don't need to crack jokes about coots, when their team has taken us behind the woodshed 5 years in a row.

We, as fans need to make it clear to the coaching staff, IPTAY, the AD, the BOT, that routinely getting embarrassed by the coots and FSU with the talent we have is unacceptable. We, as fans need to force the issue with the coaching staff that this team needs to develop a mean streak. Prime example, 2012 game against the coots, DJ Swearinger leads with the helmet and taunts Andre Ellington, not a single player comes over to support AE. Sorry, but you can't let your rival disrespect you like that on your home field. I don't care if you get a personal foul, you can't let your rival punk you out like that.

Now beating FSU is going to be tough. They are home and haven't played their best in their first two games. You know Jimbo Fisher is not satisfied with the way they have played this season. He will have that team ready, and we have to be even more ready. Really, this is a must win game, not the end of the world if we lose, but in terms of moving this program to the next level this is a much needed win. Getting blown out again will not be a good sign.

a supporter of Dabo. It was an honest question about where Dabo is as a head coach at this point. I pointed out a few things that are keeping us from taking the next step. The losses against FSU and SCU are a very valid concern. The blowout losses when we do lose is a very valid concern. The 5 losses in a row to the coots is a very valid concern.

We have a chance this weekend to start reversing those trends.

championship. It was about playing terrible against FSU and SCU on a consistent basis. It's impossible to have an intelligent discussion on tnet, anymore. The post wasn't being overly critical, it was pointing out facts about the bad losses and the terrible play against FSU and SCU. As the norm has become on tnet, you can't post something without someone falsely attributing statements to you, on statements you didn't make or get anywhere close to intimating.

This is exactly why I seldom post anything. There seems to always be some unintelligent, unthoughtful, unreasonable comment made to attack the very fan base that support our beloved football program. It's pathetic and carrying on a normal conversation with positive views is almost useless.
Our football program needs work, however, if one tries to stress that point he's almost immediately called a coot. Some here should start a bashing thread so they can get off on bashing each other.

You basically have to do like I do and just play nice with everyone, state your opinion when the time arises and not worry about the consequences.

TK and I have disagreed a lot in the past, but his post is spot on and it shames me that he's being attacked when he put out some very reasonable thoughts.

I'm still not sure why anyone who expresses displeasure with consistently losing the 2 GAMES THAT WE HAVE TO WIN TO ACCOMPLISH 3 OF OUR 5 TEAM GOALS gets landblasted on here. One thing that's always interested me about TNet and similar sites is the willingness to talk about national title aspirations while at the same time harboring a reluctance to discuss the elephants in the room that are USuCk, FSU, and the fact that when we lose we get smote.

I've never NOT supported Dabo. But if I'm being honest, beating UGA (once), LSU and Ohio State doesn't exceed or even compensate for our track record against our 2 biggest rivals when it matters. We call those "big games", but they're only big because we won them and salvaged our shortcomings against the 2 opponents in question from the games prior.

I don't think any other Clemson coach, other than Heisman himself, could have beaten LSU, Ohio State, & Georgia in a span of a few years.

It is my humble opinion, however, that Dabo is streaky. By that I mean that he gets his teams very high but then they eventually perform very poorly.

This was on display in the Georgia game in which Clemson played very tightly then literally fell completely apart.

I have a feeling that if Winston comes to play this weekend, it could get very very ugly.

Sep 14, 2014, 12:53 PM

The big wins have been good, but we can't make the next step in competing for a national title when we constantly lose to FSU and SCU. And we as fans need to quit that talk every season until we start beating those two teams.

Sep 14, 2014, 1:02 PM

the scrubs, only losing to teams that are really good.

Bowden was a Jekyll and Hyde coach, beat Miami and then lose to Duke. Get destroyed by Wake then beat FSU.
TB also played against a bunch of 7-5ish usuc teams.
Dabo has the misfortune of coaching during usuc's golden age, this is the best they have ever been.

You can rightly criticize some of the X and O's, and some personnel moves, (making sure to take as given the ones that work out well)
But you can't argue that Dabo hasn't changed us from a talented yet Schizo team into a more consistent performing team.

The net result is Dabo > TB > T West > Ken Hatfield.

Sep 14, 2014, 1:07 PM

And overall talent wise, we bring in more talent than SCU. So this "golden era" thing is no excuse. Oh, by the way in SCU's "golden era" they have no conference championships or major bowl wins. Again you're falsely attributing a statement I did not make. I never stated that that Bowden, West, or Hatfield was better than Dabo. I didn't argue that Dabo hasn't changed us from how things were under Bowden.

It's hard to not lash out to criticism, whether you are a coach or poster on tnet.

I found your post thought provoking. I really do hate when the Tigers get embarrassed. But then I do acknowledge the coots and Noles are two pretty good football programs right now, both finishing in the top 4 last year.

Tiger king I'm with ya on everything you said. We should be beating the coots most years and we should be playing on the same level as fsu. Remember you're in tigernet home of the "it's ok dabo is the next Danny Ford" which is just not the case. Dabo coaches with a just have fun and get better attitude. Danny coached with a get out there and hit the a hole across from you in the mouth until he doesn't want any more attitude. We're a fitness team. Apparently, we need to get used to it.

We have had more embarrassing losses with Dabo as Head Coach than any HC we have ever had.

He is also the highest paid, with a ridiculous buyout, that our AD should be embarrassed that he gave it to Dabo.

Dabo though has done some good things here. He is a good person, but I am sick of the blowout losses and the many losses to the Coots.

How old are you junior? I was at home losses under Danny Ford when we lost to to GT and NCSU when they sucked. I was at a home loss under Hatfield to Wake Freakin Forest in the rain in front of maybe 40k, when they sucked, and I was at a 57-0 shellacking in Tallahassee when we were actually supposed to go down there and contend. There are dozens more but the point here is - you don't know what you're talking about.

"Read the post. No one suggested firing Dabo. There were a lot of points made, many of which I agree with, some not. Y'all gotta learn it's ok for fans to pressure the coaching staff to be better. One of the ways we do that is right here. If all you care about is the coach, your loyalty is really not to Clemson. A fan who would give the thought and time to write that post clearly is more concerned with Tiger football many on here." So he referred to me

Here is what your response was to dagummit:

Re: I've been a huge Dabo supporter. I just want see two trends


Sep 14, 2014, 1:49 PM

What I thought was the most interesting point of your original post was about Dabo and criticism. There have only been a few times where Dabo has had real pressure from the fans.....2010 as you mentioned, but also after the SCAR loss in 2011.

Dabo is one of the more defensive HC's I've seen when criticized. Maybe Dabo only seems more defensive because he tends to talk a lot but I really don't think he handles criticism well.

This is my $0.02 psychoanalysis of Dabo:
He is an extremely driven person and his drive has lead him to do things like walk on the Alabama football team and get an MBA in spite of growing up poor with no father in the picture. He seems to have something in him that drives him to accomplish and to please those around him.......I think it is an approval of others that drives him, maybe an approval never received from an absentee father.

So when Dabo doesn't get approval and instead gets criticism, it is much more personal to him. I don't think Dabo is driven by money at all, it is the approval of others which is a byproduct of being successful. Dabo seems to get more defensive when criticized because the approval is being withdrawn.

If defensive isn't the right word, maybe unusual or odd in his comments is a better description. After getting prison raped by FSU last year he makes the 5 out of 10 comment and after getting manhandled in Columbia in '11 he follows up with the famous rant to maybe deflect criticism. After getting pummeled by WVU in the OB he makes sure to have the ACC trophy at the next press conference so when questioned about poor play of the team he can point to the trophy and say "they're not giving those things away".

I know many will find issues with my comments, but I just think Dabo is one of the more interesting personalities in college head coaching. His background and upbringing are not the norm for a major college head coach......none of that was his fault of course. Nonetheless, I think it leads to why many non-Clemson fans find Dabo "different".

This season is setting up to be a challenging one.....it will be interesting to see how Dabo handles the pressure if there are more losses than we've seen the past few years.

Sep 14, 2014, 4:01 PM

We have made great strides in the past 3 years. 3 years is the 2nd best run in Clemson history? You need to check up on your facts. I will take it way back to John Heisman, who coached for 4 years here, we had an undefeated season and had our highest single scoring game ever. Then the Jess Neely years, then the first 20 years of Frank Howards career, then from the late 70's to 1991. Need some more years and need to be the coots to consider this the 2nd best run ever.

And I stated nothing about we have to win a national title. I pointed that when we lose, we play terrible. And I pointed out our record against FSU and SCU since 2010. I also stated I'm a huge Dabo supporter. Next time address what I actually posted rather than make false assertions.

We are WITHOUT A DOUBT in our best run since 87-89. Save the national title, Dabo has done as much as every coach has ever done and more than most all of them. Please spare me the 1904 bull ####.

Yeah, it sucks really bad we lost to an FSU team with tons more talent than us, and it sucks we lost to the best uSC teams in their entire history and gifted them with 15-3 turnovers in the last 3 games, but for the love of pete, get a grip.

Would you really risk what we have to change all our coaches and spend four or five years getting settled in from the turmoil in hopes of picking out somebody who could coach as well as SOS?

Wouldn't it be more practical to be patient until he dies or retires? It's also likely that SOS had Tajh's number as much or more than Dabo's.

What, we can't beat the best team in the land? This isn't even something we need to address until it's practical to think anyone can beat them.

The dumpers are constantly whining about we pumpers being realistic. It now appears I've a more realistic opinion on Clemson's situation than any of them. They just don't like losing, as if any of us do, and they lash out.

Changing coaching staffs at this juncture isn't a practical choice. Who would want to take a job knowing that having Dabo's record wouldn't satisfy the Clemson faithful. Well, Lane Kiffen is still looking for a HC job I suppose.

I want to add to your post that Dabo himself is the one who has the "5 Team Goals" as follows:

1) Win the opener
2) Win the division
3) Win the conference
4) Win the state championship
5) Win the bowl game

It troubles me that Dabo sometimes feels the need to get defensive over not accomplishing goals that he himself has said are important.

Similarly, I don't know why some fans act baffled when other fans wonder why we aren't winning the 2 games that we have to accomplish more than half of our goals.

All that said --- it's still a new season and we can still accomplish 4 of our 5 goals.

Dabo is still a work in progress I agree and think he is a ok coach at this point. The problem I have is the bad losses in the big games. It's a pattern that he needs to take responsibility for. Since Dabo has taken over we have lost 5 straight to the Coots, the worst bowl loss in history , and the worst loss in DV history. Then to start the season the way we lost to UGA it seems to be the same old thing. I can take a hard fought loss but to keep getting embarrassed on the big stage at least 1 or 2 times every year is a big problem.

Do you really want Dabo, with no experience as an OC, to start dictating philosophy or scheme to Chad???? I think dabo would be a great AD, as everyone keeps saying "he's a great CEO" when I bring up the fact that he isn't qualified to call an offensive or defensive play. He obviously can recruit and hire great coordinators. But expecting him to effect change on the field is asking too much. Same philosophy as to why governors tend to make good presidents.

Someone else on here earlier made a reference to Jon Gruden. He's a goofy commentator but in the nfl they called him a genius on offense. I'd love to see us get a fiery guy like that that would give us a football identity based on our excellent play on the field instead of just dabo's passion.

You make some really good points, but how good of a coach is Ole Balsac and Dumbo Fisher? usuc lost to a sorry TN team and a hurt GA team, and who did the aholes play last year that was really that good.

To your question, as an on-field strategist and tactician,

Dabo is not in the same league as, say, Gus Malzhan. Though it pains me to say it, he is not as good as Spurrier in that regard. Dabo has his good points, but you make the case in your post that he also has his shortcomings.

Tigerking stand your ground. I cant stand Dabos loyalty to Stoudt and Howard. It's time this staff starts the best players. As for Scar, Dabo has tried to make the Carolina game less important. I hate those pieces of crap from Columbia.

..I don't necessarily diagree with Tigerking79.....

..but what exactly is *it* that makes Spurrier superior to Dabo as a coach? Is Spurrier the better motivator? Is he able to design plays better or disect defenses more easily?

Answer: NOTHING

Dabo has accomplished as much or more in his 5 seasons at Clemson as Spurrier has in his 9 seasons at uSC. Sack has lost plenty of games he should have won, otherwise, they may have reached loftier heights than beating Clemson and second tier Big 10 teams in some obscure bowl game.
