He's a smart man

Nobody in Clemson can afford that house except for the head coach and maybe a couple of other people. I figure he'll figure out a way to sell it back to Clemson for the next head coach. Maybe one of his kids will be ready to take over as head coach 20 years from now and he can just let them have it.

Clemson built this sort of house for Danny Ford and for ...
Nov 2, 2017, 8:25 AM
|
|
... and for future Clemson head football coaches.
But, Danny wanted no part of living in it and though they used the house for entertaining, Danny settled into life out in the country on his farm.
Ken Hatfield didn't want to live in it either.
Later, both Tommy West and Tommy Bowden built their own homes in other areas of town.
So, the huge (for the time) house became a bit of a "white elephant" for the university.
Someone eventually bought it and some one lives in it today, but it's not the head football coach.
Time will tell if Dabo's vision becomes a reality.

It's on one of the side streets off Cherry Road

(W Lewis maybe) not far from Perimeter Road
behind the University. I thought Danny had
lived in it for awhile. I didn't know he had
never lived in it.

It surely sounds like Dabo and Wife built a house and not a home. A home is a place you plan on growing some thick roots that will last as long as you're alive.

Forget all that Alabama talk. Dabo is planning on being our coach until he is nearly 100 years old.

I don't think he'll be coaching at 100 years of age, but I doubt he leaves us for AL. He has built our program into legendary status, and he is a Deity at Clemson. At AL, he'd be just another great coach (although they have had a few duds, too). I seriously doubt Dabo would leave Clemson, even if AL were to call. He loves Clemson, and he doesn't need any more prestige, nor does he need more money. Time will tell, though. I just hope we don't quit on him if times get a little tougher and success is a little less enormous.

I agree. There's a much greater chance of flopping at Alabama, especially after the enormous success Nicky has had. Always very tough to follow someone who's been that successful. Better for Dabo to stay put and create his own legacy with the Tigers. Oh, BTW, GooooooooTigers!!!!!!!

I'd say that Dabo already has created his own dynasty at Clemson. Saban inherited a dynasty, and it is true that he has enhanced it. That said, Dabo didn't, but he has created one, and it's his. I seriously doubt he leaves it in the hands of someone else.

Maybe he’s planning to coach until Will is old enough to take over?? I’d be ok with Dabo coaching that long.
Not sure I agree with all the talk about arrogance and lack of focus. Some reporter asked him questions about his house. He didn’t bring it up. Maybe the reporters should stick to questions about the upcoming game.

Yeah some of what Dabo has said lately has me scratching my head. I think things are going to his head a bit. Maybe he should concentrate more on beating nc state.

seriously??.. he's a great man.. a great coach.. a great recruiter.. more than a coach to those players.. he shares his bonuses w/ his staff.. he's the best at motivating.. he's a winner.. he's brought us a national championship..
please.. tell me.. WHAT are you questioning?
btw, i don't think he's thinking.. "i'm gonna design a house the way i want it, so obviously anyone else would want it the same way cause my ways are always the best"..
i'd say it's more on the lines of "i'm gonna design a house that i like and that i think others would like, too.. and, if they don't.. so be it"
unless you were being facetious, too.

a little humility would be a start, he seems to be letting this success go to his head. Can't say I would react any differently in his situation, but forming a media circus around the construction of your castle when you are one of the wealthiest people in the region, is well... tacky. He should know better because it is not the man we hired 9 years ago.

If i recall correctly I think the moving company took the pics, which i'm sure he wouldn't said "no" to if he had a choice. He didn't create a media circus.
Even the pic on front page is still of the house from that original story -
There is nothing wrong with saying he hopes others can/will enjoy for years if it's designed properly and functionally - which sounds like it is!
I'm sure basement has billiards and wet bar, who wouldn't want to live there!?
Some of the comments on this board are so ridiculous! "not the man we hired 9 years ago" - What??!!
You are right, he's better!!!
Go Dabo and Tigers!!

He has expressly stated that this house is great for inviting family and close friends, it's great for recruiting and it just may be a great perk for a future Clemson coach. I see nothing at all wrong with this. I don't hear many other coaches who are thinking this long term. Oh, and BTW, Dabo, Kathleen and the boys will enjoy living here. All great reasons for such a house. And how about because it's right there in Clemson? Dabo can walk to the football facilities. Location, location, location. GooooooTigers!!!!!!

wow.. you're so far off, i don't even know where to start..
humility???.. media circus???.. not the man we hired 9 years ago??..
he's as humble as they come.. he didn't ask for those pics to be posted, i'm sure.. and, he's EXACTLY the same person we hired 9 yrs ago.. dabo is a real and as down to earth as they come.. go watch a saban interview and then watch a dabo interview.. one is so self absorbed it's nauseating.. and the other.. is dabo.

Not at all, imo. I agree the number who could afford is limited, but I spent a career moving around the country buying a house someone else designed. But, sufficient unto the day..... For now, his family must be quite comfortable. ??

I don't know if he has a pool but Rock Creek is just behind his house and deer roam up and down the creek and in the yards of those living near the creek. My former home is about 200 yards from his new digs but his driveway probably cost more than my old house when built in 1962.

He envisions himself not coaching at Clemson and not living in that house. So, why would he ever move? And to where?

isn't licensed to work a move in that area according to their paperwork that I'm understanding. They posted the picture. I'm not sure that I'll have time or really care to pursue the situation but I certainly could. Lighten up Francis's.
