Stop the Dabo model nonsense. Dabo took over a semi successful program.Bowden finished ranked the year before they cut ties mid season. Matter of fact, I’ll say Dabo’s silly rhetoric wouldn’t have had the same effect here.
But, we learned it is all about fit. Some coaches and their approach can transcend to different places, ala Saban, Meyer, Spurrier. Others struggle immensely such as Biellema (still can’t believe he essentially failed at Arky as it seemed like a good fit). Dabo has the credentials now, but if he wasn’t at Clemson I’m not sure we know who he is today.
Though I am not thrilled at the idea of Beamer, he does seem to check that box. It’s a roll of the dice, but I am about tired of hearing the Dabo comparisons. Dabo didn’t rebuild and not sure that approach in a similar job to ours would be successful.
