Well, I'm reminded of the ole saying, "There's more than one way to skin a cat."

Dabo and CNS's styles are drastically different, but they both are at the top of their field I'd say right now. I'm actually proud that Dabo is having the success he is having.

I think they'll be right back to the playoffs next year and if we aren't in it, I'll be pulling for him!

I have no problem with him personally. I did however laugh out loud when he screamed at the ref "We didn't touch the ball!" after the onside kick. If you want to be a respected coach at this level, you should know the rules.

If CNS retires in 5 years Dabo will be 51. A lot of things can change by then but the way it looks today, he should definitely be considered.

My problems with him go back to the role he played in the Dubose regime. I'm unconvinced he's changed, despite the Bible-thumping...

I know one thing he would give it to the aubies down there that's for sure. I loved it when they beat au at Clemson and the interview he did. His players play hard for him it looks like. Hope we don't have to look for a coach for a few more years. RTR

I'm troubled by the trash talking players at Clemson. Either Dabo plays an active role in fostering it, or he passively allows it; neither are attractive qualities that I want in a coach.

You're probably right and I'm not criticizing you when I say this, but we have to aspire to greater things than just giving it to the Aubies. Some folks are chapped about Nick Saban's 6-3 record against Auburn, insisting it ought to be at least 8-1 and hold it against him. To me, 4 NCs trumps whatever his record in the Iron Bowl is. I'd rather have Nick Saban's approach to detail which has produced NCs like Hershey's produces chocolate bars, than the Dabo Swinney approach of emotional tricks which might produce a nice Iron Bowl record, but I'm not convinced would produce the kind of hardware we've had under Nick Saban.

No, to answer the OP, my thoughts on Dabo haven't shifted. But I do admit I vastly underestimated their ability. It's personal preference though when it comes to program building. I prefer the Saban method.

Not sure I am a big fan of that "one of the boys" style and I think he suffers from an excess of personality but after last night, I am convinced he can recruit, build, sustain and coach a football game.
