Gotta be honest. That NIL/God comment from Dabo
Dec 21, 2022, 3:40 PM
|
|
Probably one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard from him. And I am a Christian. Talk about opening a can of worms and causing possible divisiveness. The media and social media will have a field day with this one…
I understand that he is a devout guy. And that he used his faith to help guide him while building the program. But to say the entire program is made in God’s image?? Wow.

It kind of felt like the noise about his stance on the portal might be getting on his nerves and he felt like he wanted to make his position crystal clear. Whether or not that was the best way to handle it is clearly debatable.

Having just watched it is different now for me than just reading about it. Seeing him say the words came across as sincere and not flippant. I didn't get the same sense seeing it that I did reading about it so I won't question the sincerity of it any longer.

it was a corny Dabo joke. "causing possible divisiveness" is a little extreme. If you can't just roll your eyes and move on something else is wrong.

become divisive? He's simply saying that the program follows the teachings of God and the Christian faith. I'm not particularly religious at all and have no problem with any leader of young men and women using God as a guide for their maturation, on and off the field, which, is the main thrust of his statement, beyond the field.

will take too kindly to it. Lots of coaches and players out there are devout Christians, especially in the south.
Dabo is basically suggesting Clemson is the most Christian or god fearing program. I don’t think Christians are supposed to rank and compare levels of holiness against one another.

Lmfao, when did Dabo say this ??
Holy hell people are absolute pansies these days taking every joke completely out of context and twisting it into what they believe they heard. The man was smiling and made a joke. Newsflash Dabo has always and will always emphasize his faith. Funniest part about it is y’all act like it’s new, I guess if he’s winning championships the easily offended just don’t say anything ?

He just said this is how he is building and operating his program at Clemson. He didn’t say no one else is doing it the same way. He is proud of his program and how he manages it. If Jimbo says he’s buying the best team he can, does that mean no one else is doing that? Y’all are creating issues that aren’t there.

are as open with their faith as Dabo? As bold in it, as the bible commands, as Dabo? He's been this since day one. He will not change, nor should he. Let them speak boldly as God commands, instead of cowering.
What did Dabo really say? The foundation of my life and this program is God. If you believe in Jesus, walk the walk. Dabo does

I think he should be allowed to just say whatever the heck he wants, it hasn't hurt a thing yet and its been like that since he's been here. Who cares what the media or anyone else thinks, if not that he'll get criticized for something else. Good for him for not having the mindset of worrying what others think, it won't stop these top 10 recruiting classes.

If God is real and he is concerned with the outcome of sporting events then I have made the right decision by not believing...this is a sports site not a religious site. I am so turned off by all of the biblical references. If you are a true believer, then please know that everytime you inappropriately mention god or the bible where it should NOT be mentioned that you are hurting your "agenda".

Go back and read or listen to the comments from many of our recruits and current players that mention God and their faith and the role faith has in the Clemson program as part of the reason they chose Clemson. Dabo is reinforcing this position with the players that share similar beliefs. Have you heard an interview with Cade where he didn’t mention God?

Dec 21, 2022, 6:23 PM

and he calls on that with each decision he makes and with each opportunity he has on the direction of the program that he is in charge of - why shouldn't he be allowed to speak that in response to questions or in a setting where he is asked to explain his thought process ? ?
Be bold & speak the Truth, Coach.
Not some coach babble, a straight answer to a question about how he is guided in his decision-making.
I love it.
And God doesn't care about who wins football games, but He is faithful to those that are faithful to Him.

John 1:1-3 tells you that, friend. Why would you have the notion God didn’t “create the fossils?” I didn’t know the Bible gives us a time stamp on when God made everything. As far as the “fairy tale” comment goes, well, God says something about that to people who pretend to know it’s “just a fairy tale:”
Job 38:4 [4] “Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
Psalm 14:1 [1] The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

What was dumb about Dabo’s comment? No man should ever be ashamed of his faith in God. His faith is what he models the football program after. Do you expect him to say, “ we want the best program, we need God as our guide but I’m a bit embarrassed to say it publicly”? College football needs more men like Coach Dabo. He’s not afraid of backlash from people who are kind of, or sort of religious. He’s All In more ways than one.

people's reactions of woke / worldy / secular nature should not determine your actions or principles. That's the mistake most make. "out of people's hearts come evil thoughts": Dabo is not responsible for their reaction, interpretation, or perversion of truth. A strong Christian true follower does not let culture affect him, but turns all that on its head, flips it. Or we'd have no Moses, Abraham, Deborah, Samson, Jesus, John the Baptist, Gideon, Jonathan, Ghandi, Churchill, and the list goes on. Why would Dabo care what everyone's reaction is, if he is sincere and lives what he believes? Even Forrest Gump had it right.

Seems the public mention of God bothers a few people these days, but not me. The opposite: it inspires me.

You are seeing it through the eyes of social media which are like piranhas when it comes to anyone having devout beliefs. The moms, dads, and most normal people have no problem with it. Most of our recruits come from the bible belt, and Dabo knows his audience.

The media and social media don't hold Jesus in high...

opinion either. I mean, He said, 'The world hates me so it will hate you too.'
All this disrespect to Dabo for his faith and life's style is just fulfillment of Jesus prophecy.
Who would believe if Jesus lied?

He could have announced we were dropping pronouns on the team and allowing our players into the cheerleaders dressing rooms and not stirred up as much. Our country is in the crapper

I certainly can see the argument that saying that your program is "made in God's image" and in His name and likeness is setting a high standard. But Hey - if "Best is the Standard" then you might as well go "All In" with what is considered the best, right? If our program is doing to be made in the best image it can be, following the best name it can be, and in the likeness of the best it can be - who, as a Christian, would you recommend that it be built in the name of, likeness of, and image of? Should it be built in the NIL of Dabo himself? Should it be built in the NIL of whoever the QB or top player is?
Let's break it down a little more... Dabo has always said (and for a large part shown) that he is a "player development" guy - and this means not only development as a football player, but also emotional and spiritual development. If Dabo is trying to get to "Best is the Standard" - then who should be the model for people to aspire to be like? The literal meaning of "Christian" is "little Christ" or "one in Christ" - if someone labels themselves as Christian, they are literally labeling themselves in the name, image, and likeness of Christ. Assuming a (majority of Christianity) belief that Christ and God are essentially the same thing, then labeling yourself as Christian is saying not only that you are made in the NIL of Christ, but also the NIL of God. It follows that Christians who believe that "Best is the Standard" should want reflect the NIL of God when they influence those around them. So, if Dabo and other Christians are leading the program, then saying that the program is built in the NIL of God should at the very least be an aspirational goal if not reality.
