"We all saw this with how he went after the kicker (may have been a punter) during the ACC championship game a few years back. How he treated the kid that was watching after his little brother after the media attention waned. How he treated the cop that gave him a ticket.
Told you guys a long time ago that Dabo was specifically hired to cheat. He was expendable and if he got caught it was on him and the roster would be set for the next guy. If not then he’d be successful.
They bought players left and right. Specifically from the Tampa to Orlando corridor and N GA. Then they got creative with Osterine and stealing signs. Ended up winning big.
Alas, they got caught w Osterine and while it didn’t lead to much it did mean they had to stop.
Teams caught on to the sign stealing and adjusted.
NIL made the $50k bag of cash, $100 handshakes, and untraceable gift cards moot. That’s why Dabo was so against paying players legally (and why SOS openly supported it). It removed the advantage of paying them illegally and getting away w it because of the school’s isolation. Now teams with more resources (quite a few) can legally beat Clemson’s offer.
So now we have an incredible cheater but average coach that’s watched his advantages slip away. He’s an insurance salesman that just sat down to play poker at a table with Phil Helmiuth, Ivey, and Negreanu. Two years ago he had the big stack, but it has dwindled. The pressure is large, and he’s not a cool customer. He bows up and talks trash like a 5’8” 130 lb frat boy that just initiated."
