No it's not.

Why do you people keep saying this bullshite.

When Dabo was hired at Clemson they had ZERO TOP 20 FINISHES in this century. They hadn't won a conference title since 1991.

The 2 situations were nothing alike. In the last decade lsu has a NC and plaued for another in 2011. The 2 situations arent comparable. Literally the only likeness is neither had been a full-time coordinator.

Yeah the Dabo comparison is silly.

The much more accurate comparison is Gene Chizik, although he actually had DC experience.

But in his previous HC stint, he was an abject failure, going 5-19 at Iowa State.

But he was brought onto a program that had similar expectations for winning as LSU does now, even though they didn't have a recent NC so the pressure on O is rightfully higher.

He had the good fortune of finding a one year wonder becoming one of the greatest players in the history of the SEC, won a title, and was STILL fired just two years later after going 0-8 in the SEC.


Take from that what you will
