Former Clemson Players Saying That Dabo Didn’t Do Anything After Assistant Coach Used N Word
Remove the names and I could have guessed the program. With only a mild second guessing for Leach or Gundy.
I bet Dabo wants to climb a tree right about now.
Over the next few years, between the money cannons becoming legalized and having a coach who stands for all players, Michigan better become a recruiting FORCE.
I wish, it will end up something like this.
Other bagmen: Hand out millions of dollars
Michigan bagmen: Send you to Normandy for a week (for free) but want a 2,000 word essay in return.
So what happens when they don’t?
Here's a chink in the armor. Gonna get interesting...
Nothing will happen. Clemson will keep on rolling.
man, i don't know...between kids staying closer to home for covid reasons and racial issues everywhere? i'd be surprised if zero five-stars don't at least have that conversation with their families. not saying it would be the only factor either way (i have no idea, as a middle-aged white guy)...but those guys can still play for national championships and get drafted in the first round without going to clemson.
Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I hardly see COVID having any kind of long-term effect on where the top players want to go play. I could see a short term aberration over the next year or two, but this virus isn't going to all of a sudden make a bunch of 5 star players not want to go play football in the South. They want to go somewhere with more lax academic requirements that allow them to focus much more on football.
And to your point on kids wanting to play closer to home....where do you think the majority of 5 star recruits are coming from? They're coming from the South anyway! If anything, I see COVID giving 5 star players even more of an excuse to keep staying and playing where they are.
I'd argue COVID hurts northern schools much more than it does southern schools.
i'm pretty sure i didn't say this would have any long-term effect, or that kids would stop playing for southern schools (!) or anything to that effect. what i said was that if you are a five-star considering clemson and you hear that coaches are using racial slurs, it's part of the decision-making process. suggesting that it will have no effect on a single clemson recruit is kinda silly, particularly in the current racial climate.
justin fields left georgia because a baseball player used a slur towards him...it's really hard for me to believe that it wouldn't have been part of his process if he'd known that was a possibility.
Justin Fields left Georgia for playing time. The racial slur was used as the mechanism. His sister stayed at Georgia and had no trouble playing softball.
People are people. They will go where there is opportunity to play and to win and be treated with respect.
Don't think you're right about this one. Talented Black players don't want to spend time in an environment tinged with racism any more than you would if you felt yourself the object of it. And their parents don't want them to, either. I know whereof I speak, because I've got a brown daughter who is D1 scholarship material and this is at the top of the list of concerns. Four years wondering if people are dumb enough to be down on you for what you look like? No thanks.
I would think you're right but I'm skeptical only because he has done things in the past that seemed at least implicitly insensitive to racial inequality and it hasn't made a difference at least yet.
Intentional double entendre??
I could have sworn an ESPN personality learned the hard way about using "Here's a chink in the armor"
Or Howard Cosell "Look at that monkey run"
that is not what he said exactly
ESPN used it with a picture of Jeremy Lin for a story about a Knicks loss. Slightly different situation than using it to describe a weak point in the Clemson Death Star though maybe they should have gone with a thermal exhaust port reference.
Ahhhh... I got it now.
"chink" by itself is okay.
"chink" next to a picture of an Asian person is not.
Thanks for 'splaining for me.
And just like that, everyone who transfers gets a waiver.
I really want to like Dabo because of his strong "faith." I'm hoping it's not just a false image. But I'm old enough not to trust everything I hear anymore.
His is a selective faith, the very worst kind.
How do I know?
He invokes it as explanation for his worldview whenever it reflects positively on him, but you won't hear him mentioning it during incidents like those referenced by the OP or when his players take steroids.
His 'faith' has is about as real as Hugh Freeze's..which makes his employment as head coach of Liberty University especially fitting.
Is it?Do you know him personally?I mean maybe his faith isn't real just wondering if you know something?
Something about the fucking hookers in the office while publicly espousing how much you love Jesus and your wife. Call me crazy but... Probably not too strict on his beliefs.
Oh sorry I never heard Dabo did that.
No, that's what Hugh Freeze did at Ole Miss. Used university funds for it, too. To his credit, Dabo hasn't done THAT yet haha
Well, we don't know that he has done that yet. But we will give him the benefit of the doubt. I saw a video about how God led him to Clemson....along with $40 million.
Not yet but he will.....
Are these Roll Damn Tide's new account(s)?
Why would you say that,I do remember Roll Damn Tide.But seriously why do you ask that?
You responded to your own post.
And by the way, you must have had another name previously if you remember Roll Damn Tide. That was years before your 3/29/2019 join date. Busted!!
I do miss a little RDT
Hugh Freeze had a lot of faith in his burner phones used to call the escorts.
Sounds like he should have been buying his burners from Slipping Jimmy.
I find your lack of faith disturbing...
Bible thumpers are the OGs of virtue signaling.
Saw a photo yesterday of a real man of God holding a Bible in front of a DC church. Looked like it was still plastic wrapped.
Dude just looks and sounds like a fraud when he speaks.
Sounds like a fraud when he speaks. Obviously not to all the 5 star recruits. You get it. They don’t.
That's the exact reason he wants you to like him and I guess you were falling for it. And yes, he proves time and time again that it's a false image
loooooooooooooooool
I'm not surprised. I've also seen that a number of Pitt players report that Narduzzi called guys "thugs" a good deal and it was rather clearly being used as a proxy for some more offensive terminology.
I could see Narduzzi using using that term as a compliment or as an ideal playing style to work toward.
It certainly didn't sound like it was complimentary.
No anyone who says thug in any sort of way is a bigot and should be treated as such
so half the Michigan fan base when referring to MSU football?
I think you're being negged for your generally trolliness rather than this particular comment. I still use that word sometimes. Just today I used it to describe Derek Chauvin.
Was he intending to say "slugs"?
No he is a white middle aged bigot he knew what he was saying.
