When did you become a believer in dabo?


Dec 31, 2015, 9:49 PM

Honestly when he was hired I thought that was a bad hire. I wanted Tommy fired but did not think dabo was the guy. For me I can't put my finger on when I was converted. I guess it was sometime last year. But I am I firm believer now.

We were in the stands when he beat USuC as an interim.


Dec 31, 2015, 9:53 PM

The family and I were chanting "Dabo. Dabo, Dabo" at the end of the game. Wanted him hired as the coach then.

agree. Beating USuC and the fire I saw in the team

You could tell he was making them a better team.

It's been a slow build for me, but I've always liked him as coach, just wondered if he'd ever get us to THIS level. Well, he has so hats off. I think back-to-back LSU and Ohio State raised my faith

Dec 31, 2015, 9:59 PM

I remember it like it was yesterday. Nelson Faeber dropped an easy slant on third and short and Dabo met him out at the hash marks and chewed him a new one. That's exactly the fire we needed because Tommy had lost his.

I know no one will believe it but it's true. He fired Spence that day and talked about the things that make then wheat he is today.

My step-dad hated him being made interim and he hated when he was made the head coach. I told him then he was wrong. This was the guy if the school got behind him he could do it. Every move since 10/18/2008 has been leading us to where we are today and he is the reason. This is the type of people I want representing my alma mater.

Same for me. Might have been a little naive but between killing spence and CJ I was all in from the start.

after removing Steele. Dabo proved he could make the tough decisions to make the program better regardless of past history or personal feelings. He is the ultimate program leader.

Dec 31, 2015, 10:12 PM

Tommy was such a no intensity no leadership type coach. Dabo came in hungry and full of fire. His head and heart were in the right place towards the right direction. I knew then that this is the coach we have needed since Danny left. Looking that way more and more.

I have been behind Coach Swinney from day one, but the day I knew we made the right decision was 2009 when we beat Florida State to win the Atlantic Division. The next year was frustrating, but it's been a fun ride and this year...I don't think I can explain it.

There was only one coach I would have preferred before Dabo and UGAy wasn't giving up their coach. When Dabo took the mic and wept at the joy of being named Clemson HC I knew he was our guy.

It's a spiritual thing. 'Equally yoked,' and such.

2005 . I posted on tnet after the Wake Forest debacle to fire TB and name Dabo head coach. There was about 800 tnetters laugh at me . Some even said Tommy wasn't going anywhere .
I knew it couldn't get any worse .
