With Brent Venables jumping to Norman and Tony Elliott interviewing with UVA and Duke, this may well be a different off-season for Clemson. Add to that D-Rad maybe moving to Miami and Dabo entertaining offers from the Raiders makes one wonder what in the world is happening in Pickens County? This might be an all new spring practice for them, considering the amount of money being thrown at these coaches in recent days. Admittedly, Dabo and his crew have done very well the past several years, but their playoff runs have been trending downward since 2018. Every successful program hits a dry spell now and then, but there sure seems to be a pattern to get out of town as quickly as possible, doesn't it?
Major changes in tigger town?
- Thread starter bdblack
- Start date
To be honest, I just don't think Dabo would be interested in the Raiders or any other NFL gig.
Lol. The AD move to Miami was announced days ago, there's No maybe there!!!🙄 As for Datboy, where has it been reported the the Raiders are after him?
Dabo to the Raiders isn't a lot different than Tanner to AD. Not quite to the same extent, but completely different jobs.
What? Where has it been reported that they have courted him about job possibilities?
The AD stuff has not been confirmed. They are still talking as of right now nothing is a done deal. Not to say he won’t go if it works out. That’s just the current status.
It hasn't that I'm aware of, and I didn't say that. I'm just pointing out that success at one doesn't have anything to do with success at the other. Coaching football in college is not the same thing as coaching football in the NFL.
I think the only reason Dabo would ever consider a move to the NFL is the financial security it would provide to his future grandchildren and great grandchildren.
We supposedly caught them with their pants down and lost 0-30. 🤫
I’ll wait for other indications of doom.

How much does it take? He is making big money now.
I hope he stays put long enough for the Gamecocks to get some wins against him.
Not me unless you think I deleted a post. Which post did I say that in?
Edit: I think you're confusing me with bdblack.
Pro football players dissed Spurrier so much, he said F it and moved back to college. Dabo wouldn’t fair well with guys making two to three times his salary in some cases. Legally paid players don’t give a crap about anything but performing to acceptable levels, and avoiding injury. It’s a business as much as it is a sport. NFL commish makes $40 MILLION YEARLY. Thank about that!
That is correct. Although both parties are very close to an agreement, nothing has been signed off by either camp.
I don't know if Clemson is giving a counter offer, but UM intends to make him the highest paid AD should he accept.
Just don't see Dabo leaving. Making plenty of money and still owns the ACC. Pros are a much different game with lots of egos.
Jesus christ...the Raiders have not made any offers to Dabo. He is not going there.
The college game is changing now that it's going to NIL.
Dabo's specialty was that he could recruit under the table. That's being taken away. So it's back to college coaches needing to be Xs and Os.
Prime opportunity to tell Dabo recruits that he may not be there long. Isn’t that what coaches told recruits when Spurrier said he only has a couple of years left. Take advantage of the situation and hope to pull one or two away from Clemson.
Clemson won’t counter. The Deputy AD Neff will move up
Raiders are coached by an interim coach. I imagine Mark Davis may have had a long talk with Dabo. His dad took risk on the Lane Train. He may see Dabo like a Pete Caroll
Board believes Beamer was top candidate for Oklahoma but laughs at Raiders considering highly successful college coach. How can you even think this stuff and actually not laugh. The last two elections make perfect sense in this bizarro world. LOL
Side note...I laugh at both myself but consider Dabo to Vegas to be a tad more logical.

I seriously doubt that Swinney moves to the NFL - he will stay at Clemson, but that isn't the issue. He was able to catch lightning in a bottle before with his coordinators, and they are all moving on now. The co-OC he had this past season proved he wasn't the brains of the duo that was there before, and Clemson's offense fell off the cliff. Will be interesting to see if Swinney can catch that lightning again.....
You know what they are talking about right now on the Clemson board? How badly we want Dabo to take an NFL job. That's a pretty pitiful look on our part people.
Carolina fans just dont get it. Clempson coaches and their fan base are experts at fueling and spreading ridiculous rumors about Carolina sports ALL THE TIME in an effort to hurt our recruiting. There has been web chatter linking Dabo and the Raiders. Gamecock Nation should spread it far and wide because it builds on the narrative that big change (legitimately true) and even turmoil (more leaving?) are happening in Pickens.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I think its more pitiful you actually read a Clempson board.
It would certainly be tantamount to our hideous gaffe.
Take your finest coach and promote him into a position for which he's unqualified.
It weakens the program he departed (baseball.)
It greatly weakens the program he takes on (athletics.)
Sadly, Clemson isn't so dense.
