You found a guy that doesn't want a guy like Dabo as the Head Coach of the University of Alabama. Haven't liked the idea for years - before he won in Tampa.LMBO!
Found Mr.Butt R. Hurt right here... lol

Lighten up Francis. We tend to call them as we see them around here. I am not a consensus guy but the consensus is what it is. Dude is flapping his gums and we are simply reacting, nothing more...nothing less.LMBO!

Clemson fans continue to call Finebaum and go after him for doing what he does. He made the correct statement a few weeks ago - they don't know how to handle winning because they are too accustomed to being "little ol' Clemson."I don't think Dabo is responding to the SEC fans as much as he's responding to media talking heads stirring the pot. I've seen (from time to time on FB) online articles by Saturday's Down South where Finebaum or some internet hack had some quote about Clemson winning the title and taking a shot or two. They do what they do and that's create controversy or they'd be part time employees. Dabo's just not mature enough to ignore it. He seems to have to respond to every shot people way beneath him take.
Saban uses the media to communicate to his players = Brilliant!
Swinney uses the media to communicate to his players = Blasphemy!
Some of you kill me with your obsessive dislike for Dabo in spite of the fact that the guy has won 2 national championships, nearly won a 3rd, and was in the playoffs a 4th time. If CNS retires every one of you that is hating him now would be absolutely ecstatic if we could get him.
I would rather play theirs.Would you rather play our schedule or theirs?
LOL, nope.If CNS retires every one of you that is hating him now would be absolutely ecstatic if we could get him.
Fact is, the SEC is NOT what it was during the consecutive titles won era, which is all he was saying.
The season will wear all teams down; but if you consider what the actual argument is/was -- Bama wasn't as well rested as Clemson -- take a look at how they each ended their seasons:"Coach Dabo Swinney isn't buying that Alabama was worn out from the grind of a more rigorous schedule and wasn't as well-rested as Clemson a year ago in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game."
Dabo struck gold when he was able to get the entire DL to return last year. We've seen what it's like to have a dominant front seven. It covers over a multitude of sins and allows so much flexibility throughout the entire team. I don't care how good the back end of a team's defense is, it doesn't mean a hill of beans if the front seven cannot disrupt the LOS. Clemson's defensive line was an absolute monster of a unit. They would completely wreck offensive lines which basically kills the play shortly after the snap. Add to that Dabo has been able to recruit some of the top talent in the country on both sides of the ball and keep his coaching staff together (which is another "striking gold"). The challenge will be (as it has been for Alabama) can he keep the same level of success once he has that year or years where he's not able to convince the upper classmen to return and he loses four or five key staff members to other jobs? We've seen as the more success you have, it gets harder and harder to keep stability.I really like Dabo, he’ll always be an Alabama guy to me. But I am curious to see how he coaches as the “front runner”, rather than the underdog. You know the saying “it’s easier to climb the mountain, than it is to stay on top of it”. This is the thing that has impressed me most about cns, his ability to maintain success.
I would agree, but only because the NFL robs us of the depth that we really do have... :cool2:Here's the question to ask: is he wrong about the depth of the SEC?
"Listen, the SEC is a great conference, but I don't think they've been as deep the last few years. I think they've had two or three really good teams and then it's kind of been hit or miss from there."
I don't think he's wrong by any stretch.
Not me. Dabo is more right than wrong on what he was saying. The SEC isn’t a gauntlet of hell to get through anymore. Alabama has been undefeated twice in 3 years with little to no resistance at getting there. The SEC is really becoming the PAC12 of the 2000’s in that it’s 1 elite team, 2 good teams, and a bag of mediocrity in a given year.What's amusing to me is how many people on this board will say they NEVER pull for SEC teams in other games and reference all the Kramer/Fulmer shenanigans and no fair break......but the moment somebody criticizes the conference in any way, they jump up to defend the very conference they profess to despise.
People are funny that way.
I'm trying to understand the purpose of your post. So you agree with what he said? Or just simply disagree with some of the responses?I must have missed that part where Dabo said anything resembling, "The ACC is better than the SEC."
Can you show me where that is???
Because his exact point is true: the SEC is NOT what it was, plain and simple.
Which would be relevant if he had said the ACC was better. He didn't.
This is irrelevant data.
"Oh, we played more guys who are playing in the NFL than the ACC did" doesn't even touch what he's saying.
South Carolina had 3 NFL picks, UVA had zero.
UVA 28 USCe 0 on the scoreboard.
What's funny is that this is nothing but an excuse because we lost.
If we had WON the game in January, everyone in Crimson Nation would be blowing the old, "See, they don't play anybody in the regular season and we get ready for those big foes with all those monsters, NFL draft picks, ad nauseum something something."
But since we lost, we simply pivot and say, "Well, they had an easier route to get to the game."
Fact is, the SEC is NOT what it was during the consecutive titles won era, which is all he was saying.
Rooting for other SEC teams is far different than having an opinion about the strength that they add to our conference. I despise an SEC team and don't care for a few others, but do they add to the strength of the SEC, you betcha... :cool2:What's amusing to me is how many people on this board will say they NEVER pull for SEC teams in other games and reference all the Kramer/Fulmer shenanigans and no fair break......but the moment somebody criticizes the conference in any way, they jump up to defend the very conference they profess to despise.

Because they do...? :conf3:Why does it seem like some coach every year says this?

I don't know about that. I mean, yea, we have recruited so well over the past 10 years that we are definitely the 500 pound gorilla in the conference much like USC did back in those days. But come on, LSU, TAMU, Georgia and Auburn could all legitimately beat us on a given Saturday. Florida is trending up as is Mizzou. There are some who have fallen way off like the Hogs and Black Bears but, for the most part, the conference is MUCH more of a gauntlet than every other conference except maybe the BIG.Not me.
