Dabo Swinney

[Dak_Attack_09]

Next year this would be my hire for Dallas and i would pay with Jerry's money of course. His defensive cordinator is best in college.

I don’t want another cult follower who will do the bidding of his master lol.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Lol Dabo has a perfect set up in Clemson. He’s not leaving

Its easy when you can buy away competition from other schools.

If we go 1-15 MM will "suddenly" call it quits.

Jerry isn’t hiring anyone that takes the shine off him..

 

[Lutonio]

No. My family are Clemson fanatics, with both my parents and both brothers having gone there (I actually went to rival South Carolina because they offered the major I wanted.)

Dabo is not an NFL style coach. He is a motivator, a salesman, and a recruiter. He relies on his coordinators for the X’s and O’s, and they are paid accordingly for their value.

He’s perfect for college football as he promotes a program and Clemson as a family and as a lifestyle, but that wouldn’t translate to the NFL.

 

[Nexx]

what about Mike Sweeney?

 

[OGCowboy]

Absolutely no way. Dado is like Saban...the king of his domain. He’s worshiped. He can make more money at Clemson than he could ever make st Dallas. Plus he’s a smart man and knows the Jones boys for what they truly are...

Why would you hire this dude???? Clemson has been LOADED WITH GREAT PLAYERS so you or I could coach this team and win. I want someone like Jimmy Johnson who was a sick dude who knew how to get the best out of his players and at the same time put the fear of god into them! I don't see that in Dabo

 

[dogunwo]

True. He plays the softest schedule in the country year in and year out. The ACC is the weakest football conference in America. Still...maybe not as weak as the NFC East so maybe.....Lol.

No, the the Big 12 is the weakest.

I'm sorry you were forced to be a Gamecock. We could have been friends. I still have some deep Clemson ties.

Dabo is not a fit for the NFL in my opinion. He does not like the idea of having less control. Dabo is a micro manager that cares about things like jersey colors, players getting paid for their likeness, agents, etc. Dabo would not be given the control that he'd want, nor should he. There are college coaches that are a better fit for the pro game like Dino Babers and James Franklin. Pay attention to coaches who have shown success when they don't have all of the recruiting advantages, and their teams play tough. Bronco Mendenhall is another one.

No Saban, no Swinney, no Kirby Smart.


Ryan Day is an interesting one. He's killing it in recruiting, but I have been impressed with his transformation of how Ohio State plays.

Trust me, I sat through some games in the student section, but I never caught the college football bug despite my family’s best efforts. I’m NFL all the way.

 

[DFWJC]

I dont see why Dabo—especially given his personality and generalpriorities—would leave his current situation for the pros.

 

[Future]

This feels the same as calling for Urban Meyer.

Dabo's greatest strength is recruiting. That doesn't matter much in the NFL.

College coach at a major football program seems like a better gig. Better job security. Big fish in a small pond.

True, but that being said, the NFL is still regarded as a step above college ball, the urge to prove that you're the best coach anywhere is there for some coaches.

Jimmy Johnson was certainly a big fish in a small pond but he didn't hesitate to jump to the NFL...

 

[Rayman70]

DUDE is a GOD in College football and LOVES it in Clemson. He has a huge ego like all great coaches and absolutely craves attention and it fuels him to be great. He won't leave Clemson unless Saban retires a then he might leave to go to Bama.

 

[Rayman70]

Urban Meyer , the more I think about it...MIGHT WORK. He's been out of football a while now though. He certainly would be someone the players could rally behind. Zeke played for him. As did Noah Brown. I see the fit.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

When Saban retires, he may go back home to Alabama.

That is the only move I see him making. He is a legit coach though and we would be more than lucky to get him and whoever he would bring.

The NFL gives you broader fame, but in the daily interactions of your life, you have more relative authority and power as a college coach. No owner to deal with. You have total leverage over your players and staff.

Yes, but winning a SB is the top of the mountain, NFL football is the most popular sport. If a coach wants to reach the pinnacle of success, he will have to win a SB. That allure can override everything else...
