****Dabo on a heater

"If we stink because we haven't played for a national championship since 2020, I guess we stink. But why are we held to a different standard than these other programs?" "We might stink it up this year. We might lay an egg and go 6-6. BUT I DON'T THINK SO." Says this is the model program in college football. "In 17 years we've had one bad season. And that was 2010." Said his gift is he doesn't read any of the negativity. He just knows people are writing bad things when he gets texts from loved ones saying: "We're praying for you." Said Eddie Robinson once gave him great advice: "When it's bad, don't read nothing."

Love you Dabo, but you're stuck in 2019. We aren't even close to the model program.

Ugh, I mean I'm often one on here saying "look he's not talking to us and what he's saying isn't wrong" But you're being held to a different standard because you yourself has said Best is Standard... we sure aren't seeing Best...

I thought BEST was the standard? That is why we are held to a different standard...because we say we accept nothing less than our BEST...is 1-2 our BEST? Is the way we have played thus far our BEST? If BEST is not the standard then take down the banners and signs all over the building.

His point is valid. You throw a shit fit and act like the sky is falling when you’re actually 2-5, not when you’re 1-2 with everything on the table. What Dabo has done here deserves buy in until then. But carry on with the pitchforks.

Shesh. Cant stand this attitude. The fan base understands a year or two of poor play IF you were doing everything in your power to stay at the top, but you are not. Thats why we are mad Dabo. Give me freaking break. He gets so defensive. Thank you for everything you have done. Two of my best nights where in Tampa and San Fran, but not adapting to CFB and thinking you have all the ideas vs every single other program does not sit right with me OR with many of folks I talk too.

He failed to mention that the only reason we have won more that 8 games in the last five years is that we are in the ACC. Had we been in the BIG10 or SEC we would have not even sniffed the playoffs or a decent Bowl game. And pigs would fly before we would play for a championship game in either of those conferences.

I responded to this thread, but this is why a lot of us are mad. Shesh. Cant stand this attitude.

It’s been more than a game now…. It would be one thing if he was doing literally everything he could to win. But he’s not. He’s not using all the resources available, not recruiting at a high level like once was, not properly using the portal & has too many friends & former players on his coaching staff with little coaching experience.

Ask him who hired a bunch of coaches with no coaching experience, coaches with no recruiting experience. Who ignored the very real changes to college football the past five years. It wasn't us.
