People tend to come off in interviews as they really are or close enough to it that it often solidifies some less than appealing characteristics. I don't think Dabo has enough self-awareness to understand that he makes these things worse on himself. If I were Dabo's PR agent, I'm sure I could provide a couple of dozen examples of, "You keep making things worse for yourself," but let me use two real quick. First, right after beating us in January 2019, he toyed with the cliched "greatest team of all-time" rather than simply saying, "Look, all we can do is what we do, the pundits and historians will have to take care of that, and it's too soon to comment." No, he didn't say, "yeah, we are," but that's just not the kind of thing you comment upon." (As I've said here 100 times, there's no such thing as "the greatest team of all-time." It doesn't exist. You can be the greatest team of your time but not all-time because that comparison simply cannot be made. And even then, we naively assume "the greatest CFB team of all-time had to have gone undefeated," which isn't assumed in any other evaluation of same).
The second was him giving the strident opinion on Ohio State not playing enough games and should be ranked 11th - BEFORE the game was even played. Then they rolled his team, and he was still a jerk about the ranking.
He makes things worse for himself, and the goofy way he comes across makes it much worse than if he was a more dignified presence on the sidelines.
"Tyler is allowed to have his opinion, but take it with a grain of salt. We have some things to improve, and we're working on it."
It's not even a story at that point. But this may also be the pressure he's under putting him under a strain he cannot handle.
