Dabo doesn't feel authentic. That's what I don't like about him. I feel slimed when I listen to him talk.

Although I admire his stance on NIL xfers - as a school teacher, it's like banning cell phones in class - it doesn't seem authentic. It feels like a statement so that when he does win the ACC like he did, he can say more loudly, "Look at me!"

Maybe I'm wrong about him, and I'm certainly not unbiased, but he just seems slimy.

Take away he's a tiger, and I admire the push back on the portal madness.

Being a man of God? I'll value that no matter what team he works for or pulls for. Some things are more important than college football.

Please help me understand how his stance on NIL transfers has anything to do with banning cell phones in class. If you are a school teacher and don't follow the law, your school could lose funding and you could lose your job.

Specifically, who is Syvelle salty towards? I imagine they're no longer associated with USC.

He has some hard feelings regarding how he was used his last year and in the bowl game that year. I don’t recall the specifics now but remember spurrier had him at defensive back at the end; Newton took umbrage to the way he was used versus what he was told would be the way he was used in the bowl game, and feels it negatively affected his nfl optics. He was an interviewee on the Erik Kimrey podcast several years back. The way he tells it, spurrier pretty much screwed him with no remorse.

Well, if he wasn't the best QB option, he wasn't. Spurrier had a duty to the team and school. If he thinks he was an NFL QB he was delusional. The HBC had a way of pointing out to players that their best chances were at another position. Many of them weren't prepared to hear it.

Oh please - all you have to do is watch a game that is either close or they are losing - say what you want but a true man of God will not drop F-bombs and curse his players or the refs - that’s the truth - he uses his so called religion to entice parents to entrust him with their kids - I truly hope his heart is right however actions speak louder than words!

Dabo isn't a man of God... Give me a break. He might try and appear that way, but looks are quite deceiving.

They had a starting DE a few springs ago that was on a ventilator for a day and a half after a drug overdose, and he didn't come visit (or send anyone else for that matter), nor did he even make him miss a minute of playing time... Nurses were threatened to keep their mouths shut about the situation and not a word got out about it. He drops F bombs on the sidelines.... I saw so much underhandedness when I was there it would make your head spin... But they'll baptize you after practice 🙄

He only cares about perception.... Look no further than NewSpring... Clemson and that gathering place are made for each other... All about entertainment and nothing about genuineness.
