I believe in Dabo 100%, and I know he will do what it takes to get the program back on track or break his neck trying
The one thing I wish Brad Scott, Woody McCorvey or Gene Stallings could tell him in confidence though is:
“Dabo, there is a time to talk and there is a time to keep your mouth shut. Anything you say right now is going to be turned and twisted against you and your program. Consider talking with the media briefly, concisely and humbly, and the politely return you attention to the team.”

My little light of mine. I’m gonna let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m gonna let it shine.

It was tolerable (barely) when we were winning.

And then, Scott/McKorvey/Stallings should say, "Dabo, you've been doing this for a minute now...really shouldn't be needing to be told this."

I agree. People underestimate (or maybe forget) the significance of firing Streeter and bringing in Riley. Don't let the results you see today cloud what a "huge" move that was for the program.
Will he make similar changes at the end of this year? I don't know, but I trust him to make those decisions.

This is the truth. Dabo fired Streeter who was and had been a "Clemson Man" for a long time. He did so after a season of overall improvement but situational failures, not running the ball against Scar, not scoring vs Tenn, etc. For Dabo to do that means more than a lot people think.
The next role up has to be OL and S&C.

It's not principally about comments being twisted . . .

it's more that much of what Dabo is saying is unwise to start with. His words aren't always getting twisted, they're getting heard and rejected, deservedly so in many cases. There are exceptions, like his supposed "desire" to lose games. But the overall tenor of his comments is overly defensive blame-shifting and unreflective of even the legitimate criticisms. That's his main problem. That contingent that twists words will always be there - and he has every right to ignore or clap back at them - but his mistake is to lump everyone in with them. That's when he becomes insular.

Proverbs 17:27-28 New King James Version (NKJV)
He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
There's a lot of truth in those words.

Where words are few sin is absent. With the counsel of many your plans will not fail. Two Bible verses guided my life.
