I think his buyout (about $60,000,000) is too large even if Clemson wants to fire him.

My biggest issue with Dabo is the hypocrisy of someone condemning NIL and the portal and preaching the virtues of graduation and development (in a holier-than-thou way) while holding an indestructible $100,000,000 contract.

Don’t tell me CFB is about education when the players want to get paid, but it’s a multibillion dollar entertainment behemoth when you want to get paid. If Dabo had chosen sometime ago to receive a salary comparable to senior administrators of other school departments, then I would be receptive to his points.

But the trouble with Clemson is deep. They aren’t well coached (particularly on offense) and they have been frequently losing to programs that have no more financial resources than they do to go out and get players.

The program is toxic right now. If I were an up-and-coming assistant or 4-5 star QB, there’s no way I would go there.
