We just had a chance to change that and we lost. Stop crying and get better
In our history we have had coaches who where at Dabo's level or better. The difference is Dabo didn't start off by making 9 Million a year, he earned that. The reason why we aren't Clemson now is because of the culture we have in place, Clemson prioritizes football while we consistently let our great coaches go and not pay them. We have always tried to go the cheap route and try to find the next "up and comer". Dan Mullen consistently threw his name as someone who was interested in the Miami job everytime it became available, same thing with the Pirate. Until our BOT gets serious about football nothing will change. We have had posters on here mention that some boosters where willing to pony up thr cash to go after Mario and Highsmith, but our BOT said nah we're cool.Well Dabo now makes 9 million a year.
i'm certain that's more than our entire football staff makes combined and then some
it's hard to compete against that.
and then throw in what they pay their DC plus their facilities
good luck getting 5 stars from here consistently
Wait, was it unwatchable when we were dominating every year?this sport is becoming unwatchable. My ESPN app just gave me an "updated" bowl projection.
Get ready for this shocker...ESPN predicts Clemson will play Alabama for the title with the Taint and the Bulldogs being the other 2 playoff road kill.
Are you kidding me?
If this is how it's going to be then just have them play and get it over with right now. We already know they are the best 2 teams so why pretend.
In an "amateur" sport such as CFB the 2 highest paid coaches are always the one's facing each other for a title once again.
This is a joke
what happened to parity?
Their needs to be some serious changes otherwise it will always be the same 2-3 teams at the top.
for starters, how about a coaching salary cap. for an amateur game they sure have large staffs with blank checks to fill them out
and I'm in favor of paying every division 1 player a "salary" which is the same regardless of what team the play for. this eliminates the bags and incentives to play for one team vs another.
I doubt any of this will happen so get ready for 10 more years of Tigers vs Tide in the NC game with an occasional buckeye or dog in there.
And when Satan retires the Tide will back up fort knox at Dabo's house and the cycle will just continue
Wait until half the scholarships go to women, and tackling is no longer allowed.College football will never be unwatchable
This. Bama isn’t going undefeated this season.4 weeks in with two conferences not even playing....of course those projections will be right on. both are more beatable this year than they have ever been

Completely agree.this sport is becoming unwatchable. My ESPN app just gave me an "updated" bowl projection.

This is ridiculous. If it were just money, why is texas perennially a disappointment?
there are plenty of big programs in big conferences with alumni that will spend. But programs have to be BUILT.
The right coach, right staff, right culture, right S&C, right kids. Consistently. Over years.
Completely agree.
They should expand the playoff so every team gets in and stop keeping score.
That way they could award wins and eventually championships on important things like how cool the uniform is or the number of hours of community service performed.
there is too much competition in this world. Let everyone win.
you are too big a ***** to realize you are a giant *****You're too stupid to understand that not instituting spending limits only undermines the competitive balance, and integrity of the sport.
Our last coaching search did not last a full 24 hours. Nor did we conduct any interviews. That tells me all I need to know about our athletic department.In our history we have had coaches who where at Dabo's level or better.

Exactly, nothing will change when stupid things like that get done.Our last coaching search did not last a full 24 hours. Nor did we conduct any interviews. That tells me all I need to know about our athletic department.
If that happens....if Alabama and Clemson combine for 15 of the next 20 national champion games....college football will be in trouble. That sort of dominance will drive down viewership, traditional or streaming. Other programs will try to outspend them for a time and build new facilities and hire new coaches, but eventually this will be realized as futile. Eventually it will just lead to massive contraction of D1 programs as schools will choose to eliminate money-losing programs.this sport is becoming unwatchable.
