Some of us have been saying this for at least a couple of years, when it became obvious that Dabo wasn't adapting. We had a whole thread about it last year when some idiots wanted to hire him here, which might be the literal worst match of a coach and situation that has ever been proposed.

This is probably the correct take. Clemson has felt "down" the last couple of years, but they keep winning 9 or 10 games a season. They won't be legit championship contenders, but even in this era, it would probably be program suicide to fire a coach with Dabo's winning percentage.
He'll have to have one of those bottom out years. Which may be coming soon. His talent was completely out-classed and honestly I don't think LSU is elite.

Reason being is the patch on their jersey says ACC on it instead of SEC. Florida State and Clemson are miserable being where they are at with how that conference looks.
I think the long term future for Clemson is a 2nd tier conference. They had a great decade with Dabo but I don’t think that’s coming back for them. FSU is a big enough national draw they’ll eventually get back to being a contender & probsbly get a sec or big 10 bid in the next 5-10 years.
I don't think there's any way those alumni allow Clemson to fall into non-relevancy. Too much money in South Carolina.

I think Florida State is in much more danger.

Both Iowa and Clemson are elite NFL talent producers, but they are recognized for vastly different strengths. As of the September 2026 NFL roster openings, Iowa has 32 active players on NFL rosters, narrowly leading Clemson's 30 active players.


Per capita Iowa produces 12.5 nfl players,per 100,000 residents, double South Carolinas 6.1.

Iowa has a monopoly on in state talent, Clemson does not competing with South Carolina and surrounding sec and ACC schools.

So, go argue with a fence post Ol’ Purd

This whole post was bad, but the monopoly claim took it to another level. Good great damn- thats absurd.

Also, why does Clemson have to compete for in-state talent with surrounding major conference schools, but Iowa doesnt have to compete for in-state talent with surrounding major conference schools?
Reality- Iowa competes with surrounding major conference schools to land in-state talent.

After listening to Jimbo Fisher's horrible takes on the the broadcast last night, I really believe he and Dabo should start a podcast together.

They could call it: DABIMBO

Damn. That one of the more brutal takedowns I’ve seen.
Such a brutal takedown, @85Bears has not posted on Sixpack since and has become a full blown t-shirt Iowa fan.

And the worst part is he's posting when they're winning, unlike last year when he waited for State to start blowing games after literally quitting posting mid State blowing out ASU in the first half.

What a weird loser.

That was a weird one, this overnight Iowa obsession. I agree with him on some things but this one was out there. He had a fascination with Arkansas too.

Funny, since this thread, both Clemson and Iowa are undefeated but both will get their assses kicked this weekend.
