AEAugirl 9,633 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) It’s a valid question. When you are being paid what Dabo is being paid, second highest in CFB…then he needs to expect fans to ask why their program is circling the drain. It’s not like Dabo just got there, and while he did earn that money once you get it, there is a standard in the program you are expected to uphold and 4-4 isn’t it. The cracks in Dabo are starting to show IMO. Never heard him lose it quite like this. Also sounds like he’s been practicing his “a’ights” in hopes Mama calls one day.

I know bama is struggling (my words, they are not as dominant as years past) in this new world order with NIL and the portal but we will see if Dabo really can coach and right the ship. I think he may have dug the hole deep enough that he cannot make it out, he has lost a lot of his vaulted coordinators that could recruit and coach AND then just passed on NIL and the portal...no idea WTH he was thinking would happen but I guess he is seeing the results of all those things... and another thing, no one doesnt appreciate what he has done in the past, those were great achievements but your also being paid 11m and last time I looked I can not find a 4-4 season for either Bama or Uga in the past 10 years, so he can beat his chest all he wants but his program has some issues and he was called out about it...and instead of owning up to the issues and taking responsibility for where his program is at the moment, he just acted like a three year old...not sure I would be proud if that was out coach..maybe most are like "yea you tell them Dabo" but really Tyler was speaking the truth and sometimes it stings...

Not sure I follow, are you saying its ok if you go 4-4 after being really great for a period of time? I dunno, I think his reaction speaks volumes, he knows his program is not where it should be but instead of owning up to it and saying how he is going to fix it he is just berating a caller about how dare he question the great Dabo Swinney. Dude makes 11m to win and going 4-4 is not acceptable, I dont care if you won the natty last year, I mean all those facts that he was spitting out kind of proves the point...how do you go from that to this...4-4 is auburn territory, just saying...:) Edited October 31, 2023 by bishoptf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,660 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 No one ever mentions how banged up Clemson is and their terrible turnover luck this year. It's a lot of things but I don't buy the whole "it's all circling Dabo" take. They're still 5th in team talent composite ranking. They're still loaded. I think the uncertainty of the future of CFB has a lot of fans and pundits anxious and that's why we're seeing the worst takes imaginable this year on pretty much every topic. Money has turned this wonderful sport cuckoo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money has always surrounded the sports but it was just the peddlers that were reaping all the benefits and the schools but make no doubt, money has always been involved. It's going to change/evolve but I for one think the players should have always gotten a piece of the pie, whatever size the pie was, everybody else was making bank they should too...

WillMunny 1,380 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Tyler should have also told Dabo that due to his downward spiral, he's probably no longer in the running for the Alabama job. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,438 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Dabo's an idiot but this was pretty good. Then again, I laughed at, "I had a goal to get married and I did it" ... weird flex. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishoptf 684 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Wow I didn't have the whole context, Tyler kind of gave it to him....ROFLMAO - https://garnetandcocky.com/2023/10/31/dabo-swinney-rant-tyler-spartanburg/ He even addressed Swinney’s self-proclaimed “man of faith” label by asking if he had read the book of Proverbs recently because Proverbs 16:18 states that “Pride goes before a fall." Ouch...thats good stuff... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUINSY 2,228 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) LOL! Dabo blaming fans for his team’s awful performance. What it really boils down to is Dabo thinking he and Clemson are better than to “go so low” as to utilize NIL and portal. I think Dabo just brought Clemsoning back. The fact that he got so butthurt about a kid’s legit question is beyond absurd. The funny thing to is none of the past accomplishments really matter when your team is now struggling to be at .500 or get to a bowl game. Imagine trying to justify yourself, your education, your college football experience, your marriage, your kids, your life to a kid the way Dabo did from 3:52 on in this video…yuck Edited November 1, 2023 by AUINSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbo 7,865 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Dabo has 12 straight 10 win seasons, 4 national title game appearances, and 2 national championships. Clemson football was nothing before him. That's why he makes all that money. Tyler from Spartanburg should be grateful. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conference realignment, Playoff expansion, NIL, transfer portal, etc. I don't think any sport in America has experienced such radical change in such a short amount of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I do not like Dabo as a person. He is a goof that always takes the wrong stance on important issues. But on the field, he's been amazing. Clemson fans are spoiled because of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that "church money" used to pay their players became legal with NIL and now it's a bidding war for recruits. His religion won't allow him to dive deep into the portal for fear of compromising the "culture" he's built at Clemson. He just doesn't like the dirtiness of having to outbid other schools, he thinks the Clemson family & religion atmosphere he built at Clemson the last 10 yrs should be all it takes to attract top football players.
