If true, would we care? I'm not saying Dabo is the answer. Some fans would never trust him. Would his heart truly be in it? The most beloved coaches in Auburn history loved Auburn for Auburn and then Auburn loved them back. Could he learn that? I'm saying that if he is truly interested, he has to be at the top of any want list regardless of his reasoning. He has a better resume and experience than any name I've heard/read mentioned.

Coaches at this level are professionals, they don't think about these things the way most fans do. This is their career, their livelihood, and it is first and foremost a people business. People don't burn bridges over school rivalries, passionate as they may be. Dabo is one of the most respected names in this business right now. He's not putting that at risk because "he's got too much Bama in him" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,896 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Dye would have never been hired in era of social media - too much Dawg & Bama in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuGrad2004 112 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I may be remembering wrong but didn't Dabo say roll tide after beating us? He's a great coach but may not be the best fit here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swinney is an ass. THIS^^^ It is not that he coached at bama or any rival of ours, but that he has gone out of his way to vocalize his obsessive hatred for Auburn. I am sure he would do a fine job if hired here. I would support him like any other AU coach, I just do not trust him. There are 4 or 5 other coaches i have seen mentioned I would want before him.

He was a filthy dawg and further tainted himself by coached under the Bahr at bammer. Dye is the same as if we had hired Kirby. Dabo is a completely different species of filth. It’s like comparing a dog to a hyena. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the more pressing questions for Dabo would be if his feelings on NIL and the transfer portal have changed? He's been fairly outspoken publicly against NIL and has pointedly not made much use of the transfer portal despite Clemson having some significant roster holes the past few seasons. To me that's a non-starter given where Auburn currently finds itself. There's also the matter of his coordinator hires. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Dabo owes quite a bit of his success to Brent Venables and Tony Elliott. His decision to replace both of them with internal hires deserves quite a bit of scrutiny given their on-field results this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans would never embrace him. This is all smoke. He just has too much Bama in him. So forgive me, but what exactly did Dabo do after 2011? I watched the video and I don't see or hear anything really out of the way? Because he said Death Valley is the best place to end our winning streak? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbomb 194 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) I would flat out be surprised for Dabo to come to Auburn. He has a much easier path to the NC in the ACC. Is loved at Clemson for producing two National Championships. I don't get it. More money at Auburn? Edited November 17, 2022 by Newbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,751 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Weird how Dabo gets sh*t on for the fake preacher like image but Deion is praised for it. All this salt from Auburn fans regarding Dabo is embarrassing. This is the inferiority complex that Bammers talk about.

alexava 6,976 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I don’t believe Dabo is interested at all. I would have to take him if he was though. I also just see him messing with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1auburn1 1,131 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This just seems like a "look at my right hand while pop you with a left" diversion. No way is Dabo leaving Auburn-with-an-easy-scheudle to come to the real Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Johnny Mac 1,474 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I’m guessing that Auburn may be taking the media heat off of Kiffin by floating different names. It’s a long way until the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there was something more that I didn't see. The man was hyped about beating a team that hadnt lost a game in 2 years. What do we expect him to say? I just don't get the hate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
