Same situation as LSU. Gave a position/interim coach a chance.
Dabo's first four years were not great. I have never kept up with clemsons program but I can imagine they were in full melt just like us.
We've been headed to mediocrity for years and one season under O isn't going to magically turn this around.

Can't argue that you are wrong. It's pretty much the exact same deal. Position coach getting interim and then the gig.

Only difference is that Dabo was not a failure at a previous job.

Did Dabo ever crash and burn at another ACC school before getting the Clemson gig?

Dabo was 9-5 in his first full year. You feel confident we get to 8 or 9 wins this season?

If management can be done with charts and graphs then every accountant would be a great manager. Dabo's situation is not at all like Ogeron's, because it's easy to see Dabo is a higher caliber person.

If I was considering candidates for CEO of GE, or President of the US, and two who had resumes that were short of the mark were like O and Dabo, I might let the Dabo type get through my filter. There is no way I would let the one like O through.

Hiring O was a colossal mistake. It was probably a program killer. I say probably because O still has a chance. I feel like O needed a great year this season to have a chance. The only way he can get that now is by winning at least all but one of the rest of the games. And that is extremely unlikely.

Difference is Clemson hadn't done shite before Dabo. They were a respected program but never considered a power.

it was a comparison as far as the hiring.. but facts are facts, the vast majority of the time interim coaches being hired full time rarely work out successfully. Dabo was an anomaly
