My thoughts exactly. Dabo loves his Clemmons boys until a better offer that he can’t refuse comes along.

Until this year, I didn’t think there was a chance that Dabo would make that move. But it looks like the wheels may be starting to come off in Clemson a little, and perhaps he knows it. I think the rise of Georgia is really starting to show in their recruiting classes. I could see a world where he makes that move this year and takes his chances in the big chair, knowing that he’ll have to win out of the gate and keep winning.
Still, Clemson is a king among dunces in the ACC and if the playoffs expand there’s a strong case to be made for hanging around.

I think he’ll go to Alabama, too, but when does go to Alabama it will confirm that he’s full of shit with all of this sanctimonious hand wringing over the state of college football. Alabama is the machine and if Dabo goes, he’s just acknowledging that he never meant any of it.

My bet is that Saban has at least 3-4 more years in him at Bama. But, I like you can’t wait to see how that plays out. I think Dabo is too smart to go there and replace Saban but $15 million a year might make him reconsider.

I think Saban has a few years and by then Dabo will have ruined his chance with the, no portal and fewer offers than most teams, way he recruits and the new assistants he hires. He will be fired at Clempson, or at least look bad enough Bama passes on him, before Saban leaves.

Most of my friends, black and white, had dad living at home all the way through UGA. That was something I found very peculiar once I got out in the world.

I wonder if the Bama powers (whoever they are) want Dabo.
It’s going to be quite a stir when Saban signs off.
You have to be crazy or the GOYG (greatest of your generation..aka Saban) to take that job. Lose a couple to Auburn and you get bricks thrown through your window.
I hope Sweeny does show up at Alabama. He’ll be following a legend he cannot possibly match and within two or three years, there wlll be dumpster smoke billowing from Tuscaloosa.
If we have to raise a billion dollars to keep Kirby, it will be money well spent.

I can almost guarantee Dabo doesn’t take the job after Saban retires or expires, whichever comes first, for the very reasons you elude to here.
I think he actually does want the Bama job. He’s already proven to be the best coach in Clemson history, so there’s really nothing left for him to do there. However, he’s going to allow someone like Mel Tucker go to Bama and fail (by not being Saban, not because they’re actually bad), and THEN, and only then, Dabo will ride into Bama with his 2 or more National Titles from Clemson in tow, and “rescue” the program from the guy who wasn’t Saban.

I don’t believe Dabo is now anywhere near as popular in Tuscaloosa as he once was. His mouth has burnt some important bridges leading to any future job offers.

“shows you how to roll your first cigarette”
“takes you to that big party where you see your first naked woman|.”
The images that rant conjures up are disturbing at best. The naked woman that you would see at this kind of party could make you take a vow of celibacies and put you in therapy for years (if you were not a Clepsum, 10RC, or Awbarn fan. I can picture them pulling up in their 15 year old Camaro that’s rusting out but has a killer $2500 sound system blaring. They get out of the car window (because the doors won’t open, sporting their mullets as they pass the two old coon dogs tied up outside. They make their way up the rickety steps into the 8th single wide on the left in the trailer park. Once inside spit cups and a half empty keg of Natty Lite await. Your step dad #3 (or is it #4) pulls out the tobacco from his sleeve and starts rolling a cigarette so you do the same. You see a large woman who has had too much to drink hoist her near 300lbs and 4 teeth onto the kitchen table. She starts taking all off showing off her rolls of fat and her new tattoos. You smile as your hit the keg to get a beer, because you realize your mama went all out to arrange this to celebrate your 13th birthday the Clepsun way.
