Y’all are funny if you think Dabo doesn’t control his future. And all this “he isn’t adapting” is funny.


Dabo has flat out said that he isn't going to

Dabo’s current problem is the same many teams have had over the years - the QB position hasn’t panned out.

If every player is technically a transfer, why is he against any transfers?

it's a very risky move, to spur the portal

Why would it be? 8-4 is who they are so why would returning to the normal put him on the hot seat?

Outside of Kirby, there is no coach more loved by the fans of their school than Dabo. They know who they really are which is exactly why winning those titles with Newspring money got him a job for life.

Pretty much the only thing that could get him shown the door is being convicted of a serious crime or playing hide the flesh pickle with the wrong guy’s wife.

Heisman Trophy Winning QBs since 2017
I was wondering why stop at 2017, so I looked. Apparently it was because the last 5 Heisman QBs before 2017 were not transfers

I also don’t think his goal is to produce a Heisman, it’s to produce a National Champion. Which I tend to agree with Dabo that it’s largely done through building your roster through high school recruits and not the portal.

National Championship Winning QBs since 2017:
Tua Tagovailoa - Not a Transfer
Trevor Lawrence - Not a Transfer
Joe Burrow - Transfer
Mac Jones - Not a Transfer
Stetson Bennett - Not a Transfer
Stetson Bennett - Not a Transfer
JJ McCarthy - Not a Transfer

That’s 1/7 (Joe Burrow) since 2017. By the way, Cam Newton in 2010 is the only National Championship winning QB to be a transfer that I can think of off the top of my head.

Damn, yall got me defending Dabo fricken Sweeney

Some of you are funny. Clemson doesn’t have UGA depth? What did UGA win last year? How about Bama? These southern schools got pushed around by freakin Michigan.

The portal is hurting these powerful southern schools where you have a top tier program every 200 miles. Kids can move around at will now. That’s why the hey day for a lot of teams are over. They can no longer hold onto their 4 star depth. Dabo will take portal guys no matter what he says. He just hasn’t so far. IPTAY has plenty of money to buy players and they will. That they’ve had a couple of single digit win seasons is no worry to Dabo.

Say what now?

And Jacob Coker in 2015 was a transfer.

Stetson Bennett was a two time transfer btw.

He won't get fired, he's done too much for that school. He'll retire instead and just say it's not fun with the transfer portal and NIL.

He is the original Ed O. Dabo was a wr coach that was given the job. He was basically a cheerleader/recruiter. He had a stable OC/DC forever.

He did better than les and O due to being in the acc. Now he is pulling a les miles type move.

Also without miles going brain dead Clemson never gets going.

not a Les/Coach O situation either, he can coach.


Maybe but you never want to have a team that makes you look like you can’t

The new Les miles.


Miles at least attempted to lie about changing with the times.


Dabo is screaming for everyone to hear that he won't be participating in what makes a football program successful in 2024 and beyond.

One of my friends in elementary school had a dad that was AD at USL.

He later was AD at Oklahoma St and Clemson.

I think he hired Miles at Ok St.

I know he gave Dabo the interim role at Clemson (and later permanent job) because he liked how Dabo interacted with his position players he coached.
