Re: Do you think Dabo & Clemson Football will win 2 more Natties in next 10 years?

Radical recruiting change is implemented, the rich will only get richer. The players today actually do more of the recruiting than the other way around, in my estimation. The uber-talented players want title opportunities, unless they've grown up as very strong legacy followers.

Then there are the uber-talented players who also are strong of character, who follow their own path...aka: no posse. They seek the 'holistic' environment in their college choice...very selective.

Couple 'selectivity' by players with the 'selectivity' of the current Clemson approach, and that is a very strong LINK. Other programs simply lack, in the present day, the ability to 'walk the talk' of culture and character. Dabo has set the standard for the coming years. Will there be another coach out there capable of transforming the narrative. Wouldn't bet against it. But...in this day and age, Dabo has displayed a remarkable ability to marry the 'values of the past' in a way that resonates with the players of today within the social media environment. Technology and true feelings...not an easy thing to effectively link...but that's what Clemson has right now.

I do not want to call a no-hitter in the bottom of the eighth, but one thing we have been very, very, very fortunate of over this last decade was injuries. From what I recall, we have had some injuries. DW's ACL, Mackenzie Alexander in the Natty, Shaq Lawson was limited in the Natty but that allowed CF to shine, Big Dex missing the Natty, Nyles in this years natty and losing Skalski in this years natty. That is a long list, but we have been very fortunate avoiding injuries and I pray that continues. It takes a lot of stars to align to win a natty. Two natty's over the next ten years seems very realistic to me as long as recruiting, our coaching staff, luck with injuries, etc.... But, that can change in a second. So let's enjoy the ride we have been on, focus on the next opponent, and embrace Dabo's of culture of love caring more about the person than the football player. That is why parents send their kids to Clemson. At some point, USC will beat us, at some point Dabo will leave Clemson, and at some point, a Gator bowl will be a good year. Most of us on here remember the Hatfield, West, Bowden years and statistically, that is where most teams are most of the time. At some point, we will be back there. Remember Bama lost to southern miss at home under Saban in 2007 the year before they beat us in the opener. Regardless of the record on the field, we need to be proud to be Clemson grads and enjoy this ride. Go Tigers !!!

Do you think Dabo & Clemson Football will win 2 more Natties in next 10 years?

I'll take the over

Here's a corollary question

How many QBs have won multiple national championships ??***
