"The more things change, the more they stay the same"

12-0 and still, the "Pumper" vs. "Dumper" argument emerges.
I say get on board this train or go somewhere else and get run over by it.

A "dumper" can either by thrown away or used as fertilizer.
You make your guess on which way Dabo is planning to go.

The Dabo situation is weird.

1) I get where he is coming from. He has put his heart and soul into this University for 16 years, 10 as HC. Under his leadership, ARGUABLY the best period in Clemson Football history (yet). He may feel like if his efforts are going to not be appreciated, he has proved that he could have any job in America today.
2) He has been around CFB enough, at 2 places that are likely to not run short on idiots, BAMA & Clemson, that he should let that stuff run off his back like water off a duck. For all, we know it was idiot Coots between 8-balls, orgies, and funneling moonshine.

Of course he knows that the viewpoint he was responding to was in the vast minority. But it gave him the chance to squash it, and in so doing rally behind the team and get the fans to do the same, all while getting to list this team's accomplishments and shine a light on them.
Well calculated on his part. That dude is smart and knows how to play with soundbites and media.

If Dabo does anything on accident, he has me fooled.
I don't think the timing or the message was simply an emotional response. It was very calculated.

Partly calculated to motivate his team, no doubt. Where Coach V will discuss how disappointed of his defense he is, Coach Swinney does it by getting the fans involved. He knows if the fans are riled up his team is riled up. This is why he goes to the fans more than any other coach out there. Look over the last few years. Pizza party or how many times has he challenged the fans and students to show up to the game and give their support? He's a excellent salesman (Masters in Business) and has everyone pointing fingers at the few that are not happy with the 21 point win. My bet he's not happy either and his players have heard it from his assistant coaches (Defense). Go tigers
