"There is seemingly very little calculation to his public statements; the man believes what he believes, and if you can’t handle it, then you might as well step out of the way."

I think all of these things ARE calculated, and smartly so. Dabo used to be a sales guy. He is still one. Salespeople know you do not go into a situation unprepared. Look at our team. Do they look prepared? At 7-0, with only a little under 7 minutes of NOT having a lead all freaking season, I think our team looks pretty d@mn prepared.

Are these speeches and rants prepared? I think most who are Tiger fans think we know that he waits, like all salesmen for Opportunities. He is prepared for the opportunity to sell himself and his program. You think he really didn't know the emotion and the big stage he was on when he threw down "BYOG"?? (I'm sure he had a great, humble soundbite planned in the event of a loss as well, don't you?)

He comes off as aw shucks because he wants you to underestimate him. He tells us in the preseason, (paraphrasing here) we have a chance to be a great team, and after a couple of seasons of Dabo, I believe him. That's not sunshine-pumping, that's just past experience dictating future results. He isn't lying, he TOLD you, me, the media, and every team we play, that we could be a great team. We're part of the way there, but he is already right. If he told me we wouldn't be very good, I'd believe that, too, but it wouldn't be a cop-out in case we lose.

He's already right. He told us, and we have seen, from ND to Miami, we CAN be a great team.

"...seemingly very little calculation..."? Mr. Weinreb, I can tell there is very little calculation to your assessment to a coach that is still bewilderingly underrated, sitting at number 3 today, with a chance to do more. Dabo has probably already calculated what to say to YOU if and when he meets you.

**To be fair, I don't think the article is terrible--it's not even really insulting, but definitely a condescending tone, but this is some pompous writing, and it frustrates me that people don't think he is serious just because of how he sounds or the emotion he shows.

She said, "Honey, them Yankee will come down here and they'll look down on you because you talk slow. They think because you talk slow you think slow. You let em' be, when they think they're smarter than you that puts you one step ahead of em'."

That writer thinks Dabo's lack of a public display of sophisticated speech indicates that Dabo has an unsophisticated mind. Maybe that makes more sense to a some than Granny's speech to me. It's exactly the same thing. Granny warned me about people like that writer.

Dabo is an MBA, that's Masters of Business. It's not an undergraduate degree. Only a moron would ignore the fact that Dabo does everything Dabo does with the passion of a raging fire. When one takes the writer's position that Dabo does what Dabo does from the gut he removes the function of the brain which is contrary to what the evidence indicates about Dabo.

Dabo is a master at the manipulation of other. He's masterful at selecting words and forming phrases which become profound to the minds of everyone.

He bich slapped two major TV Networks, ESPiN and CBS, into submission this season and it took less than fifteen minutes in front of a microphone to do it. It was alot easier for Dabo to talk Clemson into the top four than it was preparing for those 7 games in a row we won.

It really doesn't matter if one agrees with granny or not. One may continue to believe that Dabo is just a lucky sucker who stumbled into one of the best coaching jobs on the finest college campus in the country then worked his team into the top of the charts, if that's what one wants. It's clearly and exactly what Dabo wants too!
