Dabo dumps on Tennessee AGAIN!

[volsjeff]

Dabo just comes across like a used car salesman now, trying to sell something flaud and knowing it

flawed

I think it shows that we are living rent-free in his head. He knows that Tennessee-rising is bad for the future.

100%

Clemson's rise came at Tennessee's expense and the pendulum is headed back the other way. The Orange bowl was a turning point and he knows it.

Dabo better beat SCe. With allegations against SC them floating around and us beating the tar out of them this year, his seat will catch fire if he looses that game.

Boasting, making an open show of religion and looking down on the less fortunate, borders on the Pharisee type of tendecies.

OK. Those are bad things. When has he done them? I'm not denying that he has. I've seen the accusations. I've just never seen anyone point to actual proof... and occurrence when he did it.

The only real "open show" of religion I've see was the baptisms which he doesn't seem to have initiated. Baptism is intentionally a public display of identification with Christ. It always has been. Jesus' own baptism was a public display where God the Father acknowledged Christ. In the early church, baptism identified new believers as followers. It was public and often costly. Many times people would be disowned by their families, shunned by their community, and disenfranchised economically. That's part of why it was necessary in Acts to "share all things in common". Some were left with nothing after publicly acknowledging their faith through baptism.

Just thought some context on why it is necessarily public might help.

Finebaum has been attacking Dabo for over a year, but Dabo is too afraid to stand up to him, and yet he doesnt care to go off on an average Joe.

I don't think he should have gone off on the caller. That was wrong. That wasn't a good testimony. That was someone feeling the stress of losing for the first time since he became coach at Clemson really.

NEVER feed Finebaum. NEVER.

I hope this event was staged, because hopefully this is not how he really is. My problem with it all being staged, is why make the caller a vet?

It flies in the face of support our troops.

No excuses. A lot of people fail when under intense stress and scrutiny. He did.

PS- as a coach, he's in trouble. He might want to make sure his faith is ready to carry him through some hard times. UT is rising. UF is recruiting better. UNC along with UT and others is cutting off talent from NC. USCe is more competitive in SC. They've drawn some players from TN that aren't heading that way now. His attempt to take the "moral high ground" (I disagree with his perspective) on the portal and NIL has left him with his recruiting foundation crumbling and nowhere to go.

The funny thing is that if he had supported NIL from the start... IPTAY probably would have funded one of the biggest collectives in the country.

We have all said things that would have been better not to be said and soon regret it afterwards. He has since doubled and tripled down on insulting the guy after the phone call.

Don't disagree with you on that one. It is the generalization earlier in your post that I'd like to see some evidence for. I'm not claiming there isn't some. I've just seen people post that kind of statement often but never back it up.

He claims to have built the Clemson football program in the likeness an image of God. If no man has seen God, how can you build anything in his likeness and image, unless you fancied yourself a god?

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the ...

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Still strange to see how TN fans are mocking Dabo and since he is having one bad season in a decade he is all o a sudden washed up and overrated.

Clemson has been on the slow downturn a few years now. I said it a few years ago and got ripped for it, they will still probably win more than they lose but they aren’t the dominant top 5 program year in and year out anymore. And things aren’t getting any easier for them either. GBO

 

[OrangeInKy]

Really misleading thread title, @EverythingOrange . He didn't dump on the Vols at all. Here is every single word he said about us in that 5-minute rant:



That was it.

His point was, fans should appreciate the sustained success Clemson has had, that it could be far worse, and the Vols' Dark Ages are an example.

That's not an insult. Every word he said about the Vols was true. It had been about 20 years since our previous 11-win season (2001). And we did beat Clemson in the Orange Bowl (heh).

No need to make stuff up in order to manufacture drama. There's enough in the world already.

Big nothing burger here.

Go Vols!

He didn’t dump on us last year either, we just have some fans that have to be offended by the slightest little thing. He was making a point about not being in a league title game, which we weren’t. It wasn’t a lie.
He is an intolerable goober, however. I won’t argue that point at all.

he just another crybaby sabon

To answer this intelligently, I would have to know more about your personal beliefs concerning Christianity and your familiarity with biblical teachings.

That is nuanced "Christianese" that doesn't point toward a claim of being God.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the ...

The NT is full of verses that speak to the transforming work of God in the lives of Christians. Relevant to that particular verse: For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

He had a pretty remarkable run at Clemson. It appears to be over, but it was impressive. And, we largely have him to thank for the gumps not having a couple more natties.

his run must be tempered somewhat by being in the ACC when FSU & miami were down.

 

[BreatheUT]

Besides attacking a veteran on live radio, the sin of pride, nearly proclaming himself to be a God, he took a jab at the Vols, which makes him very wrong.

After his stab at TN, I hope no real fans of the Vols will be on here defending him.

Dabo forgot he was on the radio and started cursing the guy. I didn't hear the Tennessee comment in the short clip I heard.

 

[Volador]

he isn't wrong. in fact his speech got me thinking about our fickle fanbase. his spill about "appreciative" fans vs "critical" fans. after the darkness of clausen's offense under phil, to kiffin leaving in the middle of the night, dooley, jones, and the payments made in mcdonalds bags, i am very appreciative of the current regime. go vols

Think about every program/head coach from coast to coast can have a "Dabo" moment. Lotta truth spoken and I give him credit for doing so. However, unless he rallies his team, he might be gone by beginning of the next Fall campaign. Donors/Alum/BOTs don't want the truth

 

[MiramarVol]

We need to thank him for contributing to our +10 win season last year. We couldn't have done it if it weren't for O'Dabo. It's a shame we won't be able to use him again this year to get to +10 wins, cause he may not even make it to a bowl game. They have ND (L), GT (L), NC (L), SC (W). If they win 2 more games they might make the Birmingham Bowl.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Dabo knows his program is in decline and he’s feeling the heat. When a coach starts acting like a butt hurt child and making comments like this they typically enter a downward spiral.

Some of what he said was the truth, but he got all over emotional with some random caller and acted like a privileged bitch

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Just like his burger flipping comment, that was another jab at the Vols. He's mad, because TN now has a competent coach. The guy is on the ropes and swinging at air in hopes a punch will land its target.

Let him show his butt. Just makes it easier for us to beat his team again.

I would say he's already well into the spiral.

I always thought Flaud was one of the top 2 or 3 placekickers in Tennessee history.

Not a Dabo fan at all but, still gonna give him a pass if I were a Clemson fan as he has brought tremendous success to Clemson over the past dozen years or so. Bet they win this weekend, whomever they play, as bet this little pep talk motivates his players.

 

[OrangeTsar]

As much as i think people don’t like Tennessee, this one is a bit of a stretch IMO

Dabo Spurrier

Why does he care about UT? Deflecting for his own recent incompetence? Not sure we contributed to it that much. Sounds to me he can’t handle being questioned in a what have you done for me lately world. Reeks of self righteousness. He can choke on it and other things for all I care.
