I'll bet Dabo wishes he had just kept the plan he was working...playing both but starting the senior. He may have fumbled the season away on this call....
Link: Clemson Names Freshman Lawrence Starting QB; Bryant Announces Intent to Transfer
- Thread starter Bamabuzzard
- Start date
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. As long as they were winning with Kelly Bryant, Dabo should have left well enough alone.
yep. I never saw anything from Lawrence in the first place to warrant jumping Bryant..I could see if it was a Tua type move where the guy is just so much better.
Dabo will gravel to get him back behind the scenes...

I think I heard that Bryant is still enrolled at Clemson so while unlikely it is possible that he could return.
Would you want him back, would you take him back? I am not sure how this would be handled.

It’s just the genius of Dabo Swinney.

Saban's comments about the new rule in today's post-game presser pretty much reflect the opinions of most here. He does not support the way that older players are using the rule and would like to see that eliminated.

Re: Clemson now has a freshman QB as their starter. Dabo names Lawrence starter
I realize I'm in the minority here, but I DO think Dabo was RIGHT to tell Bryant what he did when he did. I think he knew it was a possibility Bryant would leave and Dabo COULD have justifiably started him today and then done it next week. I actually think this speaks well of Dabo.
That said......
I don't know that there is a "right" way to handle something like this. Everyone is an expert on how other people should handle their challenges. Saban could have done just what he did and Hurts still might have transferred, so I think this notion that either coach here necessarily "did it the right way" is more perception than reality.
I see it more of a reflection of Hurts/Bryant than I do Dabo/Saban. Besides, I was getting mocked on here last week for saying Aaron Suttles didn't have a clue what he was talking about when he said Hurts was leaving. He still may on other subjects - and to be fair - he might have had an informant who had never been wrong before.
I also think the new rule is a terrible one. They need to go somewhere between the old rule of "one play and you're no longer a redshirt" and four games. Maybe two, something better than this.

I agree and said as much to my wife earlier this week. Dabo feels about Bryant the way that Saban feels about Jalen, and both told their players early enough for them to make their own decision. Both coaches clearly care a great deal about their players.

*ahem*
I'm sure you mean "grovel," but, if gravel is the substrate, then so be it. I know that I really, really like where we are at QB...
I have no idea but what if the heir apparent leaves if Bryant comes back? He stayed put while the other fled.
