So him being what he has been knock for many times has been an A+ for Dabo. He was in sales to feed his family. And he has carried what he learned in playing and coaching FB, and in sales. And he has applied them all in building our program at Clemson. Man we were lucky he was smart enough to put his life experiences together and be success for us at Clemson. If you can't love Dabo, you can't love anybody. I love him for what he has done for our Clemson Tigers. I have been hurting over our team for a long time. Thank you Dabo for easing that awful pain. Gooooo Daboooo, Goooooo Tigerssss!!!

I think that Dabo is an excellent salesman, he sells the program to fans, to recruits and to coaches he wants to hire as well as to the Clemson administration.
I think one quality that helps him make that sale is that he loves college football, he loves Clemson and he loves his staff and players. I think that quality comes out in his actions and his comments.
Another quality that is helping to make him an effective head coach is his ability to make tough choices to fire those who are not getting the job done.

totally agree with most of your post about what Dabo has done but it's definitely not Satanese. He's done it his way and Nicki has nothing to do with it.

(certain politicians and law firms) run the SEC, the BCS and seem to run the NCAA. Their ESPiN accomplices certainly magnify it.

changed. Dabo's approach is correct, and we will go far with him. He's not afraid to make personnel moves and that includes firing friends and hiring coaches with more credentials than he has himself.

In order to be successful, much SACRIFICE is required. This he has done in many ways from the beginning. Coach Swinney is and has been TRUELY ALL-IN from day one. MAY GOD BLESS FOR A GREAT SEASON!

Tank - here's some thoughts for you

I understand that you feel Dabo does not bring anything to the table on game day; there is, on some level, an element of truth to what you state. However, the reality is none of us really know as we're not on the headphones, on the sidelines, etc. Also note that Saban has an offensive and defensive coordinator who call the plays on "game day". VERY few, and I mean VERY few, HC have a ton of impact on "GAME DAY". Part of the Ole Ball Sack calling plays is his own arrogance. Is he good at it - yes. Does he also panic and make bad decisions on game day - yes. Furthermore, make no mistake about it, he has won since being at Dirt ###### U with defense, not his vaulted offense. So perhaps you need to question his game day value.
There are different ways to succeed in any endeavor, any position, any job. Dabo has his own style and he has achieved a high level of success within a format that maximizes his skills and capabilities. Maybe you don't like it, I get it - but that doesn't make your statement accurate or substantive; it's just your opinion of how he manages the program. I believe Dabo's ultimate value is the process leading up to game day, which can't or shouldn't be under-valued.
Dabo has weakness like any coach but just because he doesn't call the plays does not mean he isn't or can't be as successful as any other HC who has more "game day" input.

usc offensive production was less than the defensive production throughout the 2012 season. The defense kept and saved usc during many games last year. Is his offensive coordinator obsolete? Not much production there last year.
