Re: Dabos 2 week vacation lazy or tradition?

I already know i'll get a bit of flack for this one but i'll post it anyway. Clemsons season ended dec 21 as we all know, Dabo did a good job of paying enough to keep all clemsons key players for next year......I'm also assuming he did the end of the season player exit interviews?

Having said that, all the reports are very clear and specific that Dabo "informed Wes sunday night" he was fired........this doesnt seem to jive with David Hoods report a week in advance of that at least, as well as many other sites online. So i ask the question, which is true? why float out a nice lie for the media, what's the point exactly.

Also in regards to Dabo's vacation, i realize people can be contacted by zoom/skype in a variety of ways and they can meet in florida the same as clemson. but it strikes me as a bit i dont know "unbothered" i guess is the word i'll use, a pretty important decision involving your job (coaching the team) is at stake and he has no problem finishing the rest of the vacation, and apparently pretending the decision was made sunday when he was back, when in reality according to david hood was known at least a week ago.

Maybe this will help you understand why things don't just simply fall into place like you think they should. Part of this is my conjecture but given how close Dabo and BV are, I think Dabo wanted Brent to have a conversation with Wes before making anything official. There is also a buyout involved so if we could help Wes to his next home, he could simply resign and we don't have to pay the buyout.

David Hood reported Wes was "no longer with the program" which would open the door for Wes to speak about other opportunities. I think Dabo didn't want to hurt his chances by making a "firing" announcement until the OK situation played out. I am now guessing, but have no factual basis, that Wes may not be the next DC at OK.

This quote from an article I just read explains the complexity involved in this situation:

"According to VolQuest’s Brent Hubbs, Miami doesn't seem like a serious contender for Tim Banks. As he shared during a recent interview: “I don’t think Miami is a place that Tim Banks has much interest in... I don’t think anything’s going to happen there.” However, Clemson? That’s a different story.

The Tigers find themselves in a tricky situation. Their defensive coordinator, Wes Goodwin, is rumored to be a top candidate for the same role at Oklahoma, where his former boss Brent Venables currently leads the Sooners. Goodwin was rumored to be fired by Dabo Swinney after Clemson's terrible showing against the run this season.

If Goodwin heads to Norman, Clemson could avoid paying a hefty buyout that it would have to pay if they fired him instead, making the timing favorable for them to make changes. Hubbs described the scenario as a "financial waiting game," noting that Clemson is likely to move quickly once things are set in motion.
