This is the problem. Just the statistical odds alone say that more often than not, we won't have an elite program like 2914-19.

The problem is, you have a lot of other schools around the country who have also put in everything that's necessary to be elite as well.

Also, you're wrong about the coach being the only problem. There are a couple of significant issues. One is that back around 2011 when we first started winning, most of the other Elite teams were playing more run oriented offense. At the time we were kind of ahead of the Curve and using an offense that was geared more towards passing with a lot of misdirection and trying to run a lot of plays to offset disadvantages up front. That also helped to bring in a lot of recruits at the skill position, because they were able to Showcase themselves for the NFL in ways they weren't able to do it some of these other schools. Another issue is that back then Clemson was one of the first schools to use social media for recruiting. Now everybody's doing that. In fact, a few years ago, Ohio State hired away one of the guys from our social media staff to run there social media program For the football team. Some of the advantages that we had in the past we simply don't have anymore. That frankly has a lot more to do with it than Dabo.
