Look, I knew Dabo was stubborn. But at some point, I figured he would give up his "Clemson way" approach, realizing he needed to make changes in order to get Clemson back to competing for National Titles.
Nope. Since the end of the 2023 season, Clemson has added exactly 0 players from the portal (While losing 13).

The hilarious part, imo, is that with the combination of a 12 team (soon to be 14 team) playoff, a weak conference, and solid recruiting (average around 10th-11th every year), Clemson should be able to sneak their way into playoff appearances, saving Dabo's job, but then getting annihilated once there.
Unreal to me that 5 years ago, everyone would have penciled Dabo into the Bama job once Saban retired, but now his stubbornness didn't even yield him an interview. And guess what? He still hasn't changed.
