From SI: "Dabo Swinney Has Been Underappreciated of Late"

From Sports Illustrated:
"Despite a lot of criticism of late, Dabo Swinney has added another championship to his resume and reached the CFP once again. Since becoming the head coach in 2008, there have been few better programs in the country than the Tigers."
...
"We’re not perfect. I am far from perfect,” Swinney said. “But we have great players who believe in who we are and what we do and we have great coaches, and we’re family. That’s the best answer I can give you. It’s a blessing to be a part of it. I don’t take that for granted.
The program has certainly taken its fair share of criticism over the last few years. Due to the success from 2015 to 2020 in the CFP, expectations drastically changed for Clemson with two National Titles. However, winning a National Title is no easy task in college football, and the Tigers still have had very successful seasons despite not winning it all.”

Yeah all the people who think Dabos holding back the great Clemson dynasty need to go back and take a look at the twenty or so years before he arrived.

I believe someone relevant to this article once said “ The expectation is greater then the appreciation!”

I am still All In with Dabo
I do think he made poor decisions in naming Thomas Austin OL coach and Wes DC
we are suffering from weak recruiting !
we just do not have the talent we grew accustomed to!

We didn’t beat anybody with a pulse this year, lost to coots again on our home field and he gets paid $11M a year…I wouldn’t say he’s under appreciated!

I mean, SMU has a bit of a pulse. What with the at-large playoff spot and all.***

Those are silly comments. Why would you not include the ACCCG as

"this year"? There's no real reason when the comment is "we didn't beat anyone with a pulse this year" unless you just wanted to carve it out so you could trash the program or coach.
And Syracuse didn't beat SMU. We did. The "thanks Syracuse" stuff is fun and all but ultimately it is silly. What happened was an undefeated-in-the-conference team played a one-loss-in-the-conference team, because the next best team in the conference lost twice. It's only funny because it happened at the end of the season. But that's the way it works. The two best conference records play, and that was us and SMU.

Well you can always jump ship No one will stop you. Dabo is doing what all the media said was impossible and make the playoffs without using the portal. Now they are all praising him on doing what couldn't be done this day in time the old way. 2025 will level the playing field

I'm convinced "fans" who don't appreciate Dabo are not alumni of our great Institution. He has done nothing but bring class and honor to our great university and has represented us with the utmost integrity over his tenure. If you don't like Dabo then go cheer for the #####

It's just that the negative nancies make most of the noise.
Imagine sharing a website with people who think they know more about football that a two time national champion coach.
