Just heard Finebaum on ESPN radio and he was

remarkably complimentary and deferential towards Coach Swinney. Both he and the mod opined that a couple of years ago, they each thought that 'Bama would call Swinney at the end of Saban's run, and that Swinney would take the job----but no longer. Each said Swinney loved the Clemson community and the community loved him and that they didn't think he'd leave Pickens Co.......Finebaum expressed a great admiration for the job Swinney has done.
Clemson's got it going on right now, and apparently the only people who don't want to admit the Tigers are one of the handful of best programs in the country are all chickenfans.
(apologies if the ESPN radio show was germans....it was the 1st time I'd heard it.)

I was just listening to SXM 84 (which I think is ESPNU). Barrett Sallee was gushing over Clemson and talking about how they were going to win it all this year. He said Clemson's DLine was going to dominate Bama's OLine. I almost choked. It kinda feels like a possible sign of the apocalypse when people like Finebaum and Sallee (known SEC homers) are praising Clemson.

I heard that also, and Pawl was very effusive; but....

I didn't agree with his crack that Clemson was a "football wasteland" before Dabo got there.
Some lean years yes - BY CLEMSON STANDARDS - but if we were a wasteland, what does that make 100 other programs that have zero National Championships and/or way fewer bowl wins and conference championships? I believe we were an all-time Top 20 college football program BEFORE Dabo became head coach. Dabo's hopefully guiding us towards Top 10 status before he's through.

Do you happen to know where to find a LINK for this or know the name of the Show and or who the other co-host were at the time he said this? I've tried to find it an I've not had any luck. Even the Sirius Channel-# and an around about time it aired may help? I'd really like to Hear it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance!!!

I agree. Heard his comments on the radio. He was very complimentary of Dabo and the Clemson Tigers. Really enjoyed listening to him.

If fans are the case, he should drop his show. I absolutely cringe at some of the folks who call in.

Still think he's irrelevant, and can't take listening to the people who call in to his show. I only know what I read in articles posted on Tnet.

few years back when he was a guest on PF's show. I posted a link to the audio here to settle everyone down but Tnet's drama queens came back within a year trying to discuss the subject.
Dabo made it clear to PF that Bama had screwed him three times on a coaching position and the last contact between Bama and Dabo was Saban offering him a job recruiting about a week before CJ Spiller sign his LOI to Clemson.
I don't know why anyone is confused about this.

Saban's first year at Bama was 2007. Cj Spiller was a freshman at Clemson in 2006. Something doesn't add up. Lil Nicky was still in the NFL coaching when Cj signed his Loi.

I heard Dabo day he was offered a job by Saban
Dec 17, 2017, 8:27 AM
|

but he declined because he had players coming that he had recruited and felt honor bound to stay. (Never said Spiller). Lucky for us Dabo was and is an honorable man who keeps his word. Personally, I can’t imagine Dabo working under Saban. Their philosophies are too different.

He does what he is paid to do - which is to be an SEC homer. I understand that, but that doesn't mean that I have to admire it.
He only talks up Clemson to make 'Bama look better. If we win, then he has an excuse. If they win, it means more since he said that we are good.
His comments about Clemson fans are sophomoric. No Clemson fan should take the bait. And, please understand that he will throw that bait out there again. He is simply looking for a reaction from insecure Clemson fans to boost his ratings. Ignore him - now and in the future!
