Is Dabo holding the program hostage?

I’m going to be short and to the point. I was thinking about this and have for quite some time. By not using NIL money to bid on the services of the HS players we used to get, and by not bringing in good portal players to shore up depth and talent issues at positions of need, is Dabo doing his best to field a great team?

Is Dabo’s high morals being used as an excuse to not do what he is supposed to do? He’s getting paid top dollar to win the conference and go to the playoffs. It’s not happening anymore. All this coincides with the NIL/Portal era of CFB.

I love Clemson. I loved it before I knew Dabo existed and I’ll love it after he is no longer affiliated. I think he needs to get going on these things or maybe consider retirement for the good of this proud, storied program.

Do you think Clemson can outbid Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee & Miami? These teams are dropping 15-20 million a year on buying a team.

Actually it's not ridiculous. Another poster pointed out that we ranked number 17 in nil money. We're in the lower half of the top 25 of nil money, and over the last 4 years we're the lower half of the top 25 in the rankings. It actually matches up about the way you would expect it would.

See actually that kind of proves the point. We're number 17 in nil, and that's kind of where we've been finishing over the last 4 years. We finished number 14 in 2021, number 12 in 2022, number 20 in 2023, in number 17 this year. We're pretty much finishing around where you would expect the number 17 School in nil to finish, lower half of the top 25, which is exactly what we're doing.

Buddy, you are missing the entire point. We are number 17 in NIL but we are not using it the way a #17 NIL program should. We are finishing where we are by not using that so if we did I can assure you we would be finishing much higher. You must not be a businessman at all.

While that’s noble in some respects, it is a poor decision because he is failing to capitalize on legal avenues to improve our program.

I bet he is a pain in the a$$ to work for. I'm sure none of the staff can utter the word "portal" in fear of getting fired from their cushy jobs. I am betting someday one of them will write a book and expose what a debacle that entire program was after all of his coaching talent left and he was on his own and in way over his head. His stance on the portal and NIL in my opinion are designed to cover up his coaching shortcomings. It's easy to hold that line and blame it all on the type of Christian program you are running. Who is gonna argue that point with him. I think he has fooled all of us to the tune of $11 mil a year. I also think no one else was as surprised about the success of the program in the glory years as he was. What a ride it was!! I think we are in for some rough times in the future and we will be seeing mediocre teams for some time to come. We've done it before and we can weather the storm again.

This is what it boils down to. Best case scenario is he hires better coaches and brings in someone to show him the way to run a modern program. That’s what’s best for Clemson.

This might be the 1st of your posts that I have seen that I actually agree with. I don't know if money has changed him, but I believe he thinks the way he is currently running the program is the best way to run it. The results are proving that isn't the case.

Yep a lot of knee jerk BS responses on this thread.

Hijacked the program? Not sure why the portal seems to be the fix. Good coaches at certain positions is needed not a payday for a kid that could or could not be here for a year.

Tired of the salary discussions. Most on here would have cried like little #######, which is what this thread mostly sounds like, if they had not paid the man and he went somewhere else.

Last week it’s bitching because we were not in the Top 10 and now are coaches are terrible and the portal is the issue. Unbelievable.

Would anyone be surprised if Dabo pulled a Tony Bennett?

I believe Bennett said something substantially similar to, "If you're going to do it, you've got to be all in. If you only do it half-way, it's not fair to the university or the teams. That's why I am stepping down."

Operating under the current environment of NIL and the transfer portal, which remains largely unregulated with no sign of changes anywhere in sight, while both were well-equipped to do the job the old way, the current circumstances is not what these guys signed-up for when they got into coaching.

College athletics is not in a healthy place right now which is really sad and unfortunate, and changes absolutely need to be structured. Personally, while I am not at all opposed to paying players, there needs to be restrictions on the amount of money teams can spend, stricter transfer regulations, and strict guideline/penalties around tampering and agent involvement.

If that doesn't happen, I firmly believe we will see more and more coaches doing what Tony Bennett did and Dabo may be one of them.

It is also illegal for the NCAA to restrict transfers.

Nov 5, 2024, 4:31 PM
Reply

during this lull span? Did he sign the #1 Qb and #1 All Purpose QB in the elite years before? I think its simple. The two in the elite years lived up to their ranking and the two during these years did not. everything tends to work when your top tier QB talent play at elite levels. Recruiting picks up in all areas when that kind of buzz is around your program.

Once his recruiting shows that he can't keep up then these conversations are valid. I haven't seen that yet at least in terms of rankings.. They're not that far off.

I feel that the moment he departs from Clemson we will feel it. The ACC is not a desirable conference to coach at and if you're thinking we're going out and getting some top 10 coach I really don't think so. Those jobs are not in the ACC where its tougher to recruit. You saw who the shingle school FSU ended up with after Jimbo didn't you? Thats who we will be in the running for too.. the coach at Troy or at Memphis...

DAbo has name recognition that carries weight and still gets us in the door with these recruits. Keep him as long as you can.

those conversations would be valid. If we start losing 5 games a year in the ACC for a stretch period of years then you have to. One year i'm not jumping at that b/c Dabo went 6-6 his second year and i'm glad we didn't can him then. Many wanted it.

But once it becomes the norm that we are no longer competing for at least the conference then you gotta know it ain't gonna get better. But we are not close to that yet. Inconsistency can be eradicated with hitting big on recruits. No one knew DJU and Cade were going to not going to be comparable to DW4 and TL16.

it already. He's not Bobby Bowden old.. he's still relatively young and has many years to go. From my eyes he doesn't seem like he's lost any passion. He's trying to navigate these new rules against his own judgement and philosophy and I think he'll figure out a solution soon that gets us back to elite level status and proves the naysayers wrong. Or maybe he gets to a point where he just wants to wash his hands of it and move on from football. Either way i'll defer to a two time national and eight time conference champion and let him make the call.

If Dabo is going 6-6 or 7-5 every year then we'll revisit this topic and talk about dipping our toes into the Mike Norvell experiments of the world. But we aint there.

Seems to me he is currently not meeting the program standard. I think he still has to figure out coaching staff issues.

Of course it is. Its what TNET does, we (generic we) are overdramtic especially the days after a rough loss.

If Brad Brownell can do it (NIL/Tranfer portal), then Dabo can certainly do it. He simply doesn't want to. Sometimes using GOD as an excuse in dealing with society can be dicey. Extremism is the problem, not GOD himself.

I’m going to be short and to the point. I was thinking about this and have for quite some time. By not using NIL money to bid on the services of the HS players we used to get, and by not bringing in good portal players to shore up depth and talent issues at positions of need, is Dabo doing his best to field a great team?

Is Dabo’s high morals being used as an excuse to not do what he is supposed to do? He’s getting paid top dollar to win the conference and go to the playoffs. It’s not happening anymore. All this coincides with the NIL/Portal era of CFB.

I love Clemson. I loved it before I knew Dabo existed and I’ll love it after he is no longer affiliated. I think he needs to get going on these things or maybe consider retirement for the good of this proud, storied program.

Not sure he answers to anyone. Power and money can get folks. Neff will never be able to exert influence. In those instances Dabo disagreed with Radakovich he went to BOT and won. He is untouchable- even the greatest men in our history couldn’t handle. “A man after God’s heart” couldn’t.

No he’s just stuck in the past and the old ways no longer work. Dabo is like the person who has a flip phone, and refuses to get the latest smartphone

We can afford a whole lot more than we are getting now. Dabo is being stubborn and it’s costing Clemson big time! He needs to get a the program or leave…it’s that simple!

shorter and more to the point, he's the coach and your not.

I will take Dabo's way and you can take the highway.

Plenty of portal heavy schools to choose from.

The loss to Louisville was not because we don't have portal players, it was because coaches did not have the team ready ... that simple.

On to VT. Bet they are ready.

Dabo is the best head coach in Clemson history. He is welcome to stay as long as he wants. I think is struggling a bit to adapt to new world of NIL and Portal but he will figure it out. There is nobody else I want leading the Tigers but Dabo!
