Statue idea


Jan 22, 2019, 8:05 AM

Was talking with a UGA friend of mine last night. Talked the game, their game, recruiting, etc...

He brought up Dabo being a legend. I oblige the comment, say many of us think so as well.

He then said, "You guys will have a statue of him one day." So, we talked about which coaches where deserved one, and he pops up talking about Dabo again.

(His comment(s), and I have to agree would be pretty cool.)

"I like where they all walk the field locking arms in pregame. They should make Dabo's pose open armed, and just start adding playing locking arms outward."

I kind of like that. I think you'd only lock players that played for Dabo, but would be neat. Go ahead and lock arms with DW4, Hunter, TL16, ETN....

Definitely true but I am big fan of not putting up statues of living folks.

Indeed.

Listening to Tim Bourret a few weeks talking about then one day having a statue of Dabo here, but needing to make a small one near him of Terry Don.

I agree to for sure wait til his tenure is over. I'm too superstitious to change ANYTHING right now ;)

No statues

Don't like 'em. Clemson football is bigger than one man, no matter how many natty's he ends up winning. Dabo wouldn't want one. He often talks about how Tommy Bowden laid the foundation and the AD taking a chance on hiring him. Without the assistants and, of course, the players, he'd be nothing. He's not a Saban or a Bowden who churns out NFL players and coaches like a factory.

Put up things to commemorate the national championship seasons, maybe, that feature Dabo and the whole team, but I've never been a fan of statues of coaches or players, no matter how legendary. Dabo will have his name in the Ring of Honor someday and maybe somewhere else - who knows. His legacy is all the men he has helped develop who go on to be leaders in the community and their homes.

I would wait and see how we feel about Dabo in about 5 more years when he becomes the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

You saw him taking those selfies with Jerry. Jerry knows talent and Dabo loves a challenge.

Clemson has very few statues of specific people.

I don't think anyone will have a statue until after the pass away.

Look no further than than the Paterno statue.

Saban, Bryant, Beamer, Bowden etc... All alive

Lots have them. JoePa let child molesters roam, so his came down.
