I mean...the West is in legendary type status right now with all of these coaches. How could he not want to be a part of this? He has got to be sick and tired of hearing how shitty his schedule is too. I guess time will tell.

Great hires MSU/OM

“I pray to Gawd and he told me lil ole Dabo needs to try his hand at a new challenge.

Now I know nobody believes a lil ole program like Alabama can compete but I’m here to tell you these kids believe!!!”

Of course he’s going to claim otherwise but he bugs out of Clemson with the quickness once Saban retires.

Dabo is Bama through and through, it would be like asking one of us if we would leave a Clemson type school for LSU. Of course I fricking would, I don’t care what kind of run I’m on at my current school.

Simple, and I’ve heard Dabo quoted on this... At Bama he lives in the shadow of the Bear and Saban, at Clemson he is alone. It’s that simple. Fleck has made similar comments about Minnesota.

He might end up at Bama eventually, but he would crazy to even think about about taking over after Saban.

He built a program from nothing to a powerhouse. Won national titles. They’ll build statues of him.

He’s not going somewhere to try to be the 3rd-best to ever coach there.

He'll pretend to be interested when the Bama job becomes available and use it to leverage a hefty raise from Clemson to stay. Just like Les Miles did when everyone thought he was leaving for Michigan

Dude, Dabo is not leaving for Bama!!! Why would he? Clemson is recruiting top players, is constantly winning their conference, and is always in the hunt for the playoffs and national championship.... with a lot less pressure. I feel sorry for whoever has to follow after Saban

I think the ship sailed the moment he won his first title at Clemson. But you just never know how much the home strings tug.

Why would Dabo ditch the capital he’s created for himself at Clemson and a cakewalk through the ACC to the CFP every year to go to Bama and have to fill Saban’s shoes? Bama fired Shula less than a year after finishing 10-2 and getting a 6-year contract extension. You think Bama will tolerate less than Saban-like results from Dabo because of his accomplishments at Clemson? No way.

I don't see what appeal Bama would have for him other than the fact that he's an alumnus. All things considered, especially expectations, Clemson is the better job.

I think he goes to Baka without a doubt if they come calling



He’s been at Clemson over a decade it’s good to mix it up after that long

Dabo would be nuts to take that job. Whoever follows Nick is in a impossible situation nothing he can do will measure up. Plus why would he leave Clemson? The guy is a God there. He has built them into a dynasty, his dynasty not someone else's.

He's never going to Bama, at least not right away. Dabo knows he built Clemson and going to Bama right after Saban he will be seen as continuing what Saban built. Besides, all of Dabos kids know nothing but Clemson. They all attended school their entire lives there and eat and sleep Clemson. It's a nice story in theory, but Dabo knows he's the man in Clemson. At Alabama, he will be tagged as someone who continued what Saint Nick built!

Because the ACC is terrible and Debo has a top college team year in and year out. Meaning he can basically walk into the playoffs every year.
