Dabo has not proven capable of replacing the numerous longstanding assistant coaches who’ve departed the last several years. Saban has done this repeatedly.
Honestly, losing Brent Venables hasn't seemed that big of a loss for them surprisingly. Their Defense has remained stout even after his departure. Their Offense though, is just not good.
Yea but he's done it with top talent...how many number 1 recruiting classes has he had? Now it's Georgia the past 2 years. Saban is not beating people like he used to and is living dangerously this year. We'll see how ti goes against LSU and Ole Miss.
Saban can get whoever he wants and so can Dabo. It has nothing to do with coaching. It does however have everything to do with recruiting and his refusal to use the transfer portal.
Maybe Finebaum ought to listen good to that answer Dabo gave that fellow not long ago who called in full of criticism for Dabo and Clemson. There are expectations versus appreciation. Dabo has been and is very good for college football.
Say what you want about Dabo he’s got one of the best resumes of any coach ever and doesn’t need to be told how to run his program. People who want to complain and give advice need to think about where this program was before Dabo got the job and appreciate the massive amount of success he’s had that will never be duplicated at clemson again.
Last 12 years all had double digit wins. 2 NCs in 4 appearances. Everyone looks at Alabama and if you fall short of that you’re garbage. It’s so ridiculous. Give the guy a chance. He’s earned it.
The honey hole dried up for Bama and Clemson once Kirby started recruiting all their players 😂. No one talks about that. 7 seasons in, Clemson isn't even Top 50, and Alabama is struggling just to stay in the Top 10. "Bama recruited the No. 1 class last year there bud." And this is true, that doesn't take away from the fact 75% of the guys Georgia landed were also on Saban's wish list, it definitely has had an effect over time.
Lot of money to get rid of him ... 'Clemson coach Dabo Swinney agreed to a new 10-year, $115 million contract Thursday, (Sep 8, 2022) the largest college football coaching contract by total compensation. The new, enhanced contract runs through the 2031 football season and averages $11.5 million over 10 years.'
As a Clemson Fan Dabo sucks. He plays his kids and nephews that have the athletic abilities of JV players. Gave this man to much power and he abused it.
At least Dabo isn’t throwing his players and coaches under the bus like many in the media want him to do. He’s the exact opposite of loud mouth coaches that haven’t proved anything.
i dunno he threw mafah under the bus bringing up a week 1 fumble as an excuse to keep him on bench this late in season. meanwhile shipley fumbled at the 1 early in miami game and was still getting carries in overtime. that was 2 weeks ago
I still remember Dabo saying, "The real Carolina is in Chapel Hill and the real USC is in California." As a University of South Carolina alumni and fan, I totally resent that!!!
They have had top 5 or top 10 classes for a decade. How can this be talent related? As an outsider not paying attention to Clemson at all I would say the evidence points to assistant coaches.
Well, I am not sure because our defense is still really good. Our offense is not good. I think some of it is a wide receiver issue. But, also ball protection has really hurt clemson this year.
Dabo was close to getting fired years ago. Tajh Boyd had success and they won the ACC for the first time in a long time. Went to the orange bowl and things started rolling for Clemson. It has to be said in College Football the QB play is huge. They had 2 Amazing Quarterbacks in Watson and Lawrence to build excellent teams around. Those 2 guys were the Real Deal. Dabo can right the ship if they give him another year. He can recruit well and before him Clemson was an average team. Not a Clemson fan but a huge fan of college football.
Question: Is this the same Paul Feinbaum sports oracle who one month ago proudly annointed the Col. Sanders' led Colorado Buffaloes as the "biggest phenomenon in the history of colllege football"? The same Colorado that is now 4-4, and is quite likely to lose every remaining game ? Because that guy is really smart.
Right there with you. People who follow this sport don’t take this guy seriously anymore. His “opinions” change day to day. No wonder Saban hates this man. He’s a clown.
Why is nobody talking about Dan Radakovich leaving having an impact on the program. IMO, there’s nobody there forcing Dabo’s hand from a leadership position.
Make it make sense that you have players leave via the portal, you are only allowed 25 freshmen (avg), and you don't use the portal? Where are the numbers supposed to come from? Walkons? Student try outs? Where? If you lose players, you have to replace them. This is the dumbest anthill a man has ever died on.
Dabo is a victim of his own hubris and ideology. He cant replace long time assistant coaches and Coordinators. He refuses to acknowledge that NIL and the Transfer Portal are the future and IT AINT GOING ANYWHERE. And he allowed the ACC ( a conference that is literally the WORST FOOTBALL CONFERENCE OF THEM ALL) to catch up to him. Dabo can either adapt or get replaced. It is that simple.
@@carolyn7059 2 years for what? I would give him the 2024 offseason and season to atleast TRY the transfer portal. if he doesnt atleast tap the transfer portal next year. You HAVE to let him go. Im sorry but now that the Brohm Brothers are back in Louisville. Dabo is going to have his hands full in that conference when it comes to offense and recruiting. ( if you dont know about the Brohms) you should do some research. while they were at Purdue the play calling and offense they ran is what MADE Purdue the Spoilermakers. but these last 2 seasons for Clemson has shown a trend. Dabo doesnt have the right people in the right spots. DJ U is doing better without clemson. and for the past 2 season youve stayed with Will Shipley as your RB?( this season and last season) Will Shipley and youre Clemson lmao..
as much as Dabo can be a tad "much", the man has won at least 10 games for 12 years, 2 national championships, 8 conference championships, etc. His biggest mistake is not getting with the program of incorporating transfers and NIL dealings. It's the state of college football. Even last year during a "down year", he won 10 games. Before DAbo, Clemson was a run of the mill program. Aside from Bama and Georgia, they have been the most successful program in the last 10 years. I think we need to see Clemson be mediocre for another season or 2 for us to confidently say that Clemson is "done". This is coming fro a UM fan btw lol.
Who is Paul Finebaum? A spitter that does not understand how hard it is to stay on top year after year. I am so impressed to see Dabo fight back against the naysayers. If Clemson can be called "down" I would bet my house on Dabo bringing them back with they culture Clemson has created. The mark of a great coach is not how they continue to win, but how they rise up through advertisity and continue to fight.
Present day Clemson reminds me of Miami of the mid 2000. Got a blue chip QB that was supposed to keep it going and it just cratered. Happened with Brock Berlin & Kyle Wright and now with DJ & Cade. Miami is still searching for those glory days and Clemson is looking to be also
@@melroze the recruiting part is true. The probation was more towards the beginning of 2010. If you ask both fan bases the defenses were the bright spots carrying the lackluster offense
Good point. One other thing is that the receivers these past 3 years cannot get separation, and the deep ball threat like we had in the Sammy Watkins/Nuk Hopkins/Mike Williams/Tee Higgins days is gone. Defensive backs just tighten up on coverage, taking away the screen pass and closing the gaps for the running game. This will not change until they get another star receiver(s).
Clemson and Miami are two totally different situations. Clemson has gone from best-to-bad while under the same coach. Miami has NEVER been good for the past 22 years, while under about 6 different dud head coaches. It is a real mystery why Miami never rebounded to its past 1980s/90s dominance. They are at ground zero again. Cristobal is terrible.
Dabo needs to stop hiring position coaches that have zero coaching experience and hire people that actually know what they are doing. Stop hiring former players just because they played at clemson and hire some people that actually know how to coach. As the good coaches leave the program constantly falls . Dabo needs to just recruit and let people that know how to coach do their job
When Dabo ripped into a fan who criticized him for having a lousy season I lost so much respect for him. Don’t blame the fans for calling you out on your team’s crappy performance. Really classless thing to do. Take responsibility, Dabo, and quit picking on 20 year old kids who love Clemson and who have every right to criticize the team you built and you coach.
Seeing this for the first time after the Notre Dame game. It’s just kind of funny how the world has. Dabo put, It is against him and that’s what fuels his fire. Paul Finebaum of all people should be the last person to speak about college football. But it’s funny to see these two guys and all of the college game day laugh at Clemson‘s Failure this year. They’ve always wanted Dabo and Clemson to fail because they saw him as a threat. Dabo reign at Clemson is far from Over, but he’s also far from being left and mediocrity. Some changes definitely have to be made and of course he will do it just slower than the rest of the sport. But with the game on Saturday again Saturday, Dabo approved that he’s not gonna just lie down and let every sports analyst. Tell him that he’s done.
Clemson has Done very well for 12 years .. if they drop off it’ll be ok . Dabo is a better coach and recruiter than most !! Finebaum doesn’t like ACC and always downs them . Look at Dabos accomplishments and find another coach that’s at his level …. Saban is one …. Kirby Smart is only other one .
Dabo hasn’t done anything since his arrogant statement and ranking against OSU during COVID playoffs. OSU smashed Clemson and sent him home. For his sack, the Clemson program, and fan base he can turn it around. Pride before the FALL. 🅾️🙌🏽🙏🏽🅾️
Ummm, have you forgotten about JARED VERSE! Another transfer. + he bleeds garnet & gold. He gave up a pretty sure 1st round pick to come back and play as a senior!
All of you are wrong. There is a near day coming where the nil/portal will cash itself out. "O" did not do it on money and Dabo will not do it. Does this drive a team into the ground? No it does not. "Collective interests" on the cash buy-outs to get a 4-star and a 5-star player will do that. They do it by playing the numbers game on paper. THAT is not coaching. THAT is money. Good academics? Sure, but I can get that in any of the top 100 schools in NCAA Division 1. The hardline coaches that can take a 1-2 star and mold that player to a Natty is a "Coach." Everyone else, Saban included, better hope that the collectively interested deep pockets don't, here soon, run deeper than UCLA, USC, Notre Dame, Stanford, Ohio State, Michigan and a few more. FSU is not going to keep it for long. Go 10 feet in any direction from Tallahassee, Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge and even College Station and what do have? A frigging oak tree. Boca Raton and Sunset Bar & Grill along with Muscle Beach will out sale those camouflage pockets. It is coming. The U.S. Supreme Court should never have made the decision it made on this subject matter. When the NIL/Portal rebuilds your team you are no longer a coach. So where do you park your 250,000 custom vette?
I understand NIL and the portal, but where is the generational talent on both sides of the ball? No NIL makes you miss out on some players, not all of them. The same goes for the portal. I just don't see NFL talent like the past.
Now he’s on Saban for being “adaptable”. Wait til they lose to LSU & Milroe sucks it up. Paulie will turn on Saban & say “I told you it was over - last year. He can’t recruit and there are no stud NFL dudes any more”.
making college players free to seek out huge financial gains and forget about team loyalty will erode the quality of entertainment and I also wouldn't be surprised to see coaches leave due to total chaos it creates toward keeping their program together. Clearly it will erode team morale to see some players making enormous salaries while others simply have a scholarship (which in my day, was a big deal) You spend all this time over four years wining and dining a recruit to sign them only to have them as soon as they think they aren't getting the playing time they want, putting themselves on the open market First you had the NCAA change the rules of the game to get a bunch of timeouts in, then you remove the sitting out for a year when you decide to go somewhere else and now you turn the sport into a new form of prostitution where greed is behind all decisions I have trouble sitting thru the games cause of all the time outs constantly putting the volume on mute for the 10 in a row commercials they subject me to
I somewhat agree with you but just curious? Where is the coaching loyalty to the athlete.? Not just the HC but the position coach, the recruiting coach? I mean come on the kids are due something.
Coaching when I came up was likelu in the low hundred thousands whereas now offensive coordinators can make multi-- million dollar occasions. It's invaded coaches too and that's why I can see the "getting yours" and splitting. Loyalty everywhere had been undermined and encouraged by actions meant to remove it's existence. Coaches are doing it too What I like abot Kirby is I believe he undestands that greatest and great football schools are fostered by great coaches not by if you are a coach feeling the need to go to an Alabama to attain it It's what Bear Bryan did, John Wooden, Michael Jordon and made where they went,"great" where no greatness was before@@louiserwin3726
How? Harbaugh wanted to leave Michigan before the NIL. Saban left LSU as a champion a year prior in 2003 after being okay in 2004. Urban Meter left Florida when they were still good.
LOL! Guy has made a living trying to tear down better men, and he wonders why coaches like Nick Saban (Who is unquestionably the GOAT) don’t respect him. Finebaum is a clown.
Dabo has alway been a clown with great assistant coaches. Now he has to do the heavy lifting of actual coaching and it’s hard for him to produce for a number of reasons. He’s alway made ridiculous statements that we’re masked by wins. It’s just magnified now. If he doesn’t change he won’t make it back. 🤷🏿♂️sorry y’all
Finebaum hates Clemson and Dabo. Matt Barrie needs to have someone that’s not biased to give their take. They say absolutely nothing about Clemson’s play. Where is their analysis???
You are a typical fan of teams that Clemson has owned. When Clemson beats them over and over year after year they can do nothing but hate.... and Dabo and Clemson fans are winners and some of the Best people and fans anywhere..... Anywhere !... So which team Clemson and Dabo has owned are you a fan of ?
Losing Venables does hurt. I don't believe Clemson will ever be the same. Dabo is a heck of a guy/coach he will fight hard I'm sure. But really before Clemson it was FSU king. They were down for a decade or so after Jameis Winston and company. But now they are back. FSU is king and always will be king of the ACC in totality.
People still harping on the portal while the past three years, no dedicated QB coach = bad QB play, no dedicated special teams coach = missed kicks, hiring an OLine coach with 0 experience = a line that looks absolutely lost out there, same at wr. Grish is an amazing recruiter but as a wideout coach it's been tough so far, so many drops. Add that all together, you get 4-4. Dabo will make substantial change after this season I guarantee that, in 2010 he sounded the exact same it's wild.
The mindset of Dabo is the problem. He doe not embrace the current business model. Which is utilizing transfer portals. Dabo is still romanticize the "old school" mentality.
I share the same sentiment as the great Dabo concerning the transfer portal & NIL. They are destroying " college football ". Collebe football is now becoming Semi-Pro football. College football is indeed now a business. The teams that win championships in college football now no longer win by recruiting and developing young players into intelligent graduates and citizens. They will win by buying their championships. So how many championship trophies will your team buy ? It's now all about money $$$$$$$$$$ and Bone deep Greed !
What have you done compared to Dabo 🤨 Am not a fan of the program but these 2 aren't fans of Dabo.. Hate shines through no matter how how hard you try to sugar coat it.
Finebaum is having a great time ripping intp Dabo. He has never liked him and has been pissed at him for beating his beloved Bama. Dabo does need to change his tactics.
Yep. And to be a story about Dabo, it's no surprise he had to mention Saban in it. Many say he's bald because his head has been up and in & out of Saban's a$$ for well over a decade now.
This drives me crazy. The media continues to focus like a laser on NIL and the transfer portal and ignores how we can't coach kids up anymore. They have recruited better than Duke, Miami, NC State, S. Carolina etc. It's not about talent acquisition. The whole coaching staff needs an overhaul.
Every team now loses players to the portal,so you have to go into the portal at times to replace them. Kirby is similar to Dabo about getting players from the portal. He says that you have to be careful not to bring disgruntled players who can mess up the chemistry of your team. That's why you have to carefully bet these transfers. UGA brought in two receivers this pass off-season but they had recruited those guys while they were still in high school, so they knew who they were dealing with.
It's people like these that hurt programs talk bad u make people believe it. Players hear ur ignorant rants an because they don't know better than to listen to idiots
Screw Paul Finebaum! He's such an under the table troublemaker just like Stephen A Smith. Let Dabo run things the way that he sees fit. Dabo has been doing it for years and one year doesn't define anything. Relax.
Finebaum is an idiot paid for by the SEC network and his hatred for Dabo is ridiculous. Dabo isn't perfect. He's human but he seems to be a legitimately nice guy unlike most college coaches and his way of doing things has been successful. Does he need to adapt? Of course. He needs to rethink his postion on the portal. And what isnt being said is that if it weren't for turnovers and poor kicking, this year would look differently. You are trying to take away from what he's done. Saying you aren't doesn't make it true. The defense is still good. The offense needs to change. I like Saban but get off his coat tails Paul
I keep wondering when some school will hire Paul to coach and give him a chance to improve the value of his opinions.
Brent Vennebles left Clemson. He was the best coach there.
Literally got put on blast from another show for saying that but, he’s 7-7 since he left and only 44-26 without him. He was 121-17 with Brent.
Dabo has not proven capable of replacing the numerous longstanding assistant coaches who’ve departed the last several years. Saban has done this repeatedly.
Honestly, losing Brent Venables hasn't seemed that big of a loss for them surprisingly. Their Defense has remained stout even after his departure.
Their Offense though, is just not good.
Bama is very weak this year
Yea but he's done it with top talent...how many number 1 recruiting classes has he had? Now it's Georgia the past 2 years. Saban is not beating people like he used to and is living dangerously this year. We'll see how ti goes against LSU and Ole Miss.
Saban can get whoever he wants and so can Dabo. It has nothing to do with coaching. It does however have everything to do with recruiting and his refusal to use the transfer portal.

Even Alabama was in the weeds for an extended period.

Dabo hasn’t done anything since his arrogant statement and ranking against OSU during COVID playoffs. OSU smashed Clemson and sent him home. For his sack, the Clemson program, and fan base he can turn it around. Pride before the FALL. 🅾️🙌🏽🙏🏽🅾️
Things won’t get easier for Dabo playing Notre Dame next week
I hope you’re right but the latest line is 3.5 points for Notre Dame. ☹️
@@surgickalstrike I was shocked by the line ngl. Expect between 6-8
And Notre Shame loses
Transfer portal worked great for Deion Sanders. Until it didn’t ….
Paul. How many national championships do you have just wondering
Debo flew my friend who is an architect out to draw his house in a private jet
Just to think Dabo Swiney at one time was deemed to be Nick Sabans replacement when that time came, unbelievable
Ummm, have you forgotten about JARED VERSE! Another transfer. + he bleeds garnet & gold. He gave up a pretty sure 1st round pick to come back and play as a senior!
It shows what an impact Venerables had on Clemson. He better revamp his coaching staff. “None of us is as smart as all of us”.
He's still salty about the 44-16 national championship game against his beloved Tide
Clem will be 4-5 after next week
So the ACC won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
Here's what I think of Finebaum. Click. That's the sound of turning his show off.
Public Colleges are in “The Professional Sports “
Don't give up so soon, the weather ain't bad
FSU is on the way back to running the ACC once again 🍢
FSU is on its way to the Big 10
they know nothing about football it is not about a generational QB Georgia won back to back national championships with a walk on QB
All of you are wrong.
There is a near day coming where the nil/portal will cash itself out. "O" did not do it on money and Dabo will not do it. Does this drive a team into the ground? No it does not. "Collective interests" on the cash buy-outs to get a 4-star and a 5-star player will do that. They do it by playing the numbers game on paper. THAT is not coaching. THAT is money. Good academics? Sure, but I can get that in any of the top 100 schools in NCAA Division 1.
The hardline coaches that can take a 1-2 star and mold that player to a Natty is a "Coach."
Everyone else, Saban included, better hope that the collectively interested deep pockets don't, here soon, run deeper than UCLA, USC, Notre Dame, Stanford, Ohio State, Michigan and a few more.
FSU is not going to keep it for long. Go 10 feet in any direction from Tallahassee, Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge and even College Station and what do have? A frigging oak tree. Boca Raton and Sunset Bar & Grill along with Muscle Beach will out sale those camouflage pockets. It is coming.
The U.S. Supreme Court should never have made the decision it made on this subject matter.
When the NIL/Portal rebuilds your team you are no longer a coach.
So where do you park your 250,000 custom vette?
I understand NIL and the portal, but where is the generational talent on both sides of the ball? No NIL makes you miss out on some players, not all of them. The same goes for the portal. I just don't see NFL talent like the past.
Saban has proven he can win with any QB and any group of players.
Now he’s on Saban for being “adaptable”. Wait til they lose to LSU & Milroe sucks it up. Paulie will turn on Saban & say “I told you it was over - last year. He can’t recruit and there are no stud NFL dudes any more”.
making college players free to seek out huge financial gains and forget about team loyalty will erode the quality of entertainment and I also wouldn't be surprised to see coaches leave due to total chaos it creates toward keeping their program together. Clearly it will erode team morale to see some players making enormous salaries while others simply have a scholarship (which in my day, was a big deal)
You spend all this time over four years wining and dining a recruit to sign them only to have them as soon as they think they aren't getting the playing time they want, putting themselves on the open market
First you had the NCAA change the rules of the game to get a bunch of timeouts in, then you remove the sitting out for a year when you decide to go somewhere else and now you turn the sport into a new form of prostitution where greed is behind all decisions
I have trouble sitting thru the games cause of all the time outs constantly putting the volume on mute for the 10 in a row commercials they subject me to
I somewhat agree with you but just curious? Where is the coaching loyalty to the athlete.? Not just the HC but the position coach, the recruiting coach? I mean come on the kids are due something.
Coaching when I came up was likelu in the low hundred thousands whereas now offensive coordinators can make multi-- million dollar occasions. It's invaded coaches too and that's why I can see the "getting yours" and splitting. Loyalty everywhere had been undermined and encouraged by actions meant to remove it's existence. Coaches are doing it too What I like abot Kirby is I believe he undestands that greatest and great football schools are fostered by great coaches not by if you are a coach feeling the need to go to an Alabama to attain it It's what Bear Bryan did, John Wooden, Michael Jordon and made where they went,"great" where no greatness was before@@louiserwin3726
How? Harbaugh wanted to leave Michigan before the NIL. Saban left LSU as a champion a year prior in 2003 after being okay in 2004. Urban Meter left Florida when they were still good.
Dabo is being "done to death by slanderous tongues"..by a man old enough to know .the originator of the saying
FINBAUM was such a great college football coach himself....wait
LOL! Guy has made a living trying to tear down better men, and he wonders why coaches like Nick Saban (Who is unquestionably the GOAT) don’t respect him.
Finebaum is a clown.
@@jpc957-w7s Couldn't agree more my friend!
Dabo and Jimbo should just get an apartment together and go away....
Dabo has alway been a clown with great assistant coaches. Now he has to do the heavy lifting of actual coaching and it’s hard for him to produce for a number of reasons. He’s alway made ridiculous statements that we’re masked by wins. It’s just magnified now. If he doesn’t change he won’t make it back. 🤷🏿♂️sorry y’all
Finebaum hates Clemson and Dabo. Matt Barrie needs to have someone that’s not biased to give their take. They say absolutely nothing about Clemson’s play. Where is their analysis???
No one deserves misery more than Dabo and Clemson fans.
Why is that. Lmbo
Except maybe Tenn fans.
You are a typical fan of teams that Clemson has owned. When Clemson beats them over and over year after year they can do nothing but hate.... and Dabo and Clemson fans are winners and some of the Best people and fans anywhere..... Anywhere !... So which team Clemson and Dabo has owned are you a fan of ?
Cheating Jim Harbaugh and Michigan say hello.
@@stevekelley7738 I’m a Bama fan. Clemson is 2-2 against Bama recently. Is that “routinely beating@ them?
Losing Venables does hurt. I don't believe Clemson will ever be the same. Dabo is a heck of a guy/coach he will fight hard I'm sure. But really before Clemson it was FSU king. They were down for a decade or so after Jameis Winston and company. But now they are back. FSU is king and always will be king of the ACC in totality.
People still harping on the portal while the past three years, no dedicated QB coach = bad QB play, no dedicated special teams coach = missed kicks, hiring an OLine coach with 0 experience = a line that looks absolutely lost out there, same at wr. Grish is an amazing recruiter but as a wideout coach it's been tough so far, so many drops. Add that all together, you get 4-4. Dabo will make substantial change after this season I guarantee that, in 2010 he sounded the exact same it's wild.
This face is the saddest story in college football. Paul Finebald. Man with a face made for radio
And a voice made for print.
Why keep this nutbag and fire Pollack who actually understands football. Paul the prune. What a sham
This coming from a man who has been living with his foot down his throat since his pacifier
The mindset of Dabo is the problem. He doe not embrace the current business model. Which is utilizing transfer portals. Dabo is still romanticize the "old school" mentality.
I share the same sentiment as the great Dabo concerning the transfer portal & NIL. They are destroying " college football ". Collebe football is now becoming Semi-Pro football. College football is indeed now a business. The teams that win championships in college football now no longer win by recruiting and developing young players into intelligent graduates and citizens. They will win by buying their championships. So how many championship trophies will your team buy ? It's now all about money $$$$$$$$$$ and Bone deep Greed !
What have you done compared to Dabo 🤨 Am not a fan of the program but these 2 aren't fans of Dabo.. Hate shines through no matter how how hard you try to sugar coat it.
Finebaum is having a great time ripping intp Dabo. He has never liked him and has been pissed at him for beating his beloved Bama. Dabo does need to change his tactics.
Yep. And to be a story about Dabo, it's no surprise he had to mention Saban in it. Many say he's bald because his head has been up and in & out of Saban's a$$ for well over a decade now.
This drives me crazy. The media continues to focus like a laser on NIL and the transfer portal and ignores how we can't coach kids up anymore. They have recruited better than Duke, Miami, NC State, S. Carolina etc. It's not about talent acquisition. The whole coaching staff needs an overhaul.
You still need the Jimmy and Joe's too.
You’re right, but talent acquisition is still a problem
Nah homie. They did horrible evaluations at the skilll positions. Not one game changer on the roster. Inexcusable
Every team now loses players to the portal,so you have to go into the portal at times to replace them. Kirby is similar to Dabo about getting players from the portal. He says that you have to be careful not to bring disgruntled players who can mess up the chemistry of your team. That's why you have to carefully bet these transfers. UGA brought in two receivers this pass off-season but they had recruited those guys while they were still in high school, so they knew who they were dealing with.
Listen to Finebaum
Clemson will have their next loss against ND
Paul Finebaum.............🤔
Guess who don’t belong Now😂
He just got way lucky with 2 generational quarterbacks. Take those away and he don’t have 2 titles
It's people like these that hurt programs talk bad u make people believe it. Players hear ur ignorant rants an because they don't know better than to listen to idiots
Alabama gets all stars at every position no coaching needed
Screw Paul Finebaum! He's such an under the table troublemaker just like Stephen A Smith. Let Dabo run things the way that he sees fit. Dabo has been doing it for years and one year doesn't define anything. Relax.
Matte, be careful who you align your thinking with. Paul is leading you down a road of destruction to your career. You need a wake up call NOW.
funny that Finebaum is wasting time on the ACC specifically Clemson. Isn't he paid to promote the SEC (Alabama mostly)?
Notre Dame will beat Clemson, that Irish defense will eat all day.
SEC < Pac12
Clemson's run is over.
Finebaum is an idiot paid for by the SEC network and his hatred for Dabo is ridiculous. Dabo isn't perfect. He's human but he seems to be a legitimately nice guy unlike most college coaches and his way of doing things has been successful. Does he need to adapt? Of course. He needs to rethink his postion on the portal. And what isnt being said is that if it weren't for turnovers and poor kicking, this year would look differently. You are trying to take away from what he's done. Saying you aren't doesn't make it true. The defense is still good. The offense needs to change. I like Saban but get off his coat tails Paul
