Dabo has lost the team. No matter what else happens this season, if they win it will be because of the players and not the coach. I have a feeling that NIL has something to do with this. Why go work for some ass#### cheapskate coach (find some photos of where Dabo lives) who abuses you, when you can go somewhere else, maybe make a little bit of money, and be treated like a young professional? This probably had a little bit to do with Saban leaving as well. He was a noted screamer, but at least they were paid under the table. A casual look at the sideline of any NFL team and you won't see coaches yelling at their players

You simply can't refuse to take part in the NIL or portal Madness these days and expect to compete. I respect Dabo's feelings towards the game today but he better change his ways or retire. Clemson could still be legit Top 10 each season if he'd give in to these new times.

One reason Saban left Bama was that he couldn't coach those kids the way he was used to coaching kids. When your rivals can pay your players more than you can, you have to treat them with kid gloves to keep them out of the portal. See Kalen Deboer's coaching style currently! Dabo is in a similar situation for the same reason: NIL. More specifically lack of booster $ to fund NIL. There's probably more at Bama than Clemson since Bama is the flagship University, but there isn't a whole lot of money in the state of Alabama to begin with. Notice that this year Dabo had to consent to a current commit visiting another school. He's no longer in a position to dictate terms like that to recruits. What is he going to do? Cut him? Chances are Tennessee is offering more $.

Paybacks are a bi###. I still remember Dabo giving some kid the absolute business for blowing a punt, on national television. If that had been my kid, Dabo would be lucky to keep all of his teeth. You simply don't treat young people that way.

Have you heard the rumor why Napier was fired from Clemson? It's said he and Dabo got in a fist fight. It sounds believable to me. Anyway Billy was garbage at Clemson.

I really doubt he has lost the team. This isn't Butch Jones we're talking about here. Dabo has been there 15 years as HC. He's just got to make the necessary changes, whatever those may be.

For reference, Mike Norvell and FSU won 2 games last year. And now they are undefeated and ranked in the top 10. Your just have to be willing to make the necessary changes.

He’s purposefully refused to make the changes and claims he never will. But his players think the world of him. They haven’t quit on him and won’t. They just aren’t as good as they used to be. Talent at ClemPson has slipped while other ACC schools have improved
