?who has fallen so far, so fast as Dabo without scandal or age being a factor? I can?t think of one. I can think of some that won a title early in their careers with someone else?s players and then fell off (Frank Solich, Larry Coker, Gene Chizick). But Dabo basically built a dynasty from the ground up. He?s still relatively young. He SHOULD be able to coach at Clemson (or another elite program, or the NFL) for another decade if not TWO decades. But it?s clearly over for him, unless he adjusts to the modern CFB landscape. His stubborn refusal to play the portal game. His refusal to allow CU commits to take other visits, and insistence that they shut their recruitment down once they commit. He?s working with one hand tied behind his back, and it?s all his own doing.
What a shame.
