Since Dabo became head coach in 2009:

2 National Championships
7 ACC Championships
10 ACC Atlantic Division Championships
6 CFP Appearances
4 CFP Championship Game Appearances
11 Bowl Wins
12 Consecutive 10+ Win Seasons (5 @ 10, 2 @ 11, 1 @ 12, 3 @ 14, and one undefeated 15 win season)
12 AP Top 25 Finishes
7 AP Top 10 Finishes
6 AP Top 5 Finishes

Call me crazy and TD me all you want, but I tend to trust the guy to know what he's doing. Unless you're in the QB rooms, unless you're on the practice field, unless you're in the film rooms, unless you have an intimate knowledge of the plays that were called and how each member of the team did or didn't follow those plays - I think I'll trust Dabo's thoughts and instinct over yours (or mine, for that matter).

I'm not happy at all with Saturday's loss or DJ's performance or what's been going on with the quarterbacks. But I (and we) know maybe 10% - if that - of what the head coach knows. So - I'm gonna let him do his thing and trust that he'll get things figured out in time for us to win another ACCCG and get a New Year's Six bowl bid against a quality opponent so we can finish strong.

I think it's fair to question the QB, or even the OC, but to question the HC who has done more for Clemson football than literally anyone in the history of the program.... that's just nuts. IF he chooses to make changes in the staff, it will be after the season ends. No way he does it during. But I'll trust him to make the right call on that. I think he has a pretty daggum good track record.

To be fair;
Dabo is a prideful goon - I don't know about goon, prideful probably comes from the way he's answering the questions around the offense and handling the QB position. "No one has their head in the sand" works as far as it goes... but it's been two years now. That excuse is wearing a touch thin.

Dabo hires unqualified people - I mean, this one is pretty obvious (at least why the charge is lodged)

Dabo puts a single player above the team - again, this one is pretty obvious

Dabo has let money spoil himself - it would certainly not be the first time someone got eff-you money and changed no?

Dabo will never change - I don't know that I've seen this one per se. Maybe that he is stubborn and again the handling of the QB position kind of plays into this.

Dabo lies to the fans - well obviously, we call it 'coachspeak'... but as above his pat answers eventually get a bit thin

Dabo is accountable to no one - Likely true. As before, he has eff-you money and is the young, first time AD going to be responsible for sitting Dabo friggin' Swinney down and saying 'you have to make changes'? Not likely.

Dabo is the only one who knows what's right - haven't heard this one

Dabo is the problem - as the head man, eventually all decisions flow up through him. So if there's a problem with the program it's at least his RESPONSIBILITY to fix it. His recent past decisions have been... questionable. But that's not an issue (no one expects perfection) if you correct them.

I'm not saying all the responses from fans are rational, but a lot of them have some meat on the bone.
