Why this guy refuses to leave Clemson is one of the worlds great mystery’s.


He's been at OU and Clemson the last 22 years. If he doesn't want to be a head coach where else would he go other than Bama?

He arrived at K State in 1991 as a JUCO transfer. He then went into coaching as a GA and position coach on Bill Snyder’s staff before becoming OU’s DC.

He’s been involved in major college football for 30 years. During that time he has experienced only one losing season, and he’s only had to move twice, plus 3 NC’s and at least a dozen conference championships.

That’s an incredible run of success and stability. His career is a major outlier in the coaching profession. He used to chase jobs and was a finalist for several big programs. Now he routinely declines interview requests.

I think he realized along the way the path to happiness and riches didn’t require becoming a HC of a struggling program.

Maybe he has skeletons in his closet preventing him from becoming a head coach, but $2.5M is a lot of money for a coach that’s reached his career ceiling.

LSU cracked the code on that one, well done Joe Brady.



Yea maybe. OSU did a ton of work between the 20s in the game 2 years ago but failed inside the redzone. OSU put up 500+ yards and only scored 23 points.

I feel like Bama did that in the game the year before. Put up tons of yards and didn't put it in.

I didn't watch much of the LSU/Clemson game as I felt confident LSU was 14+ points better. Did LSU do any quick snaps or quick huddles? OSU did tons of it this year in the game and huddled a lot too

Weird. Dabo is supposed to be quitting now that players can get paid.

$2.5 million per year for a fricking COLLEGE FOOTBALL COORDINATOR, but God forbid the players get $500 a month via NIL!
