You have to think, Saban is gone. At one point, quite recently, Clemson was gonna take over cfb.
This guy, Dabo, beat Saban twice for it all.
And now...crickets sorta
Imo...Clemson's (DABOS) last gasp is against us, no? In terms of Dabo and their philosophy I think this is put up or shut up MOSTLY. Beat us and he can have the podium again for right or wrong. Lose and he will be silent or criticized a lot.
If/when he loses...does he move to the hot seat in terms of the new college landscape and what he has done lately for them? Will that program feel extra pressure to win NOW to ensure they are a program still seen as a top tier one in case of expansion?
Or does our game matter? Can they still be seen as a relevant program even if we beat them by 20 plus?
My gut says he HAS to make the 12 team playoff this year or next or he is done. Assuming we win easily, I think he has one year left (with everyone on his ass saying it). Since he does so well with criticism...should be fun to watch.
