Clemson had more draft picks than wins last season
It’s not coincidence that Saban left once NIL went widespread.
Dollars created parity and the portal destroyed a team’s ability to horde talent.
Saban saw the writing on the wall. Dabo didn’t.
He’s a really great guy but his approach to running a program doesn’t work in the modern age. Everyone with eyes knew he needed to get offensive linemen out of the portal and he refused. They probably needed a QB too, but without an o-line it wouldn’t have mattered. He obviously also needed to plug some holes on the defensive line and they didn’t. He’s loyal to his crony coaches and his players to a fault.
He would be much happier and more successful coaching high school at this point, but his ego won’t allow it. I’m hoping he resigns and they get Charlie Weis, Jr. in the off season.
And there’s the rub.
that has better players at every single position on the field. Clemson should be better than this.
Dabo is gone after this year, imo.
Good news for Dabo is that Clemson being roughly equivalent to the 13th best SEC team puts them right on track for a spot in the ACC championship game.
Nice job threatening to sue LSU yesterday, Dabo, you dimwitted goober.
Saban chose to retire. Dabo didn't adapt.
