[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 608343, member: 216"] Dabo is not a tactician. He hired tacticians, and he took his unlimited resources and made the best hires in the country - Morris (and Morris' protege's), and later Venables (after a failed first attempt at DC). If he doesn't have those resources and make those hires, there is no Clemson dynasty. I give him credit for making those hires - great job. But, we don't have the resources to make those hires (and make mistakes on hires) like he did. We can't afford to pay a great cheerleader as the HC AND pay the best OC in the country AND pay the best DC in the country. Add in the recruiting-academics factors, and we are fooling ourselves in trying to do anything like Clemson. If we're going to do it, it's going to have to be a different way. HOW?? One way that could have been a possibility (and was even a partial reality for us in a few recent years) was to do the CPJ-route - quite arguably the best OC in the country (give him just 2 or 3 pieces and it can't be stopped) - be different than everybody else and be the absolute best in the country at it, paying a guy the blue-bloods wouldn't hire just because of the recruiting-perception - then you get the two-for-one, and then use what we have to find and pay the best DC in the country. That would've also worked for Jeff Monken. Oh well ... we'll see what happens.
