Kelly Bryant not getting a NC ring

[Jumper_Dad]

Not lying to simply say that is a private matter, not for public consumption.

 

Not sure if the press would have accepted that, but I agree that he could have tried that.

So you don't think that's who he is. All coaches speak in cliches to some extent. I've read or seen enough stories about him away from just what he does as a coach I think he is pretty genuine.

 

I think most that don't like him probably root for teams he's beaten. I have no love for Clemson at all, but I think he sincerely is a good dude.

 

You could be right, and I admit I could be way off base. I don't have a team I truly root for in college football, simply because there were no major college programs where I grew up, so I really don't care who he beats. To me, there's just something about him that feels really contrived like he's overplaying the image he's trying to project, almost to the point that he's a caricature. Again, I'm sure I'm in the minority and could be completely wrong. But there's just something off about him, that I can't put my finger on, that makes me feel like that he's more show than actual truth.

I think I would have as good as a reason for disliking Dabo as anybody here. I don’t dislike him, but I definitely get the phony vibes from him... It obviously works, so I see no reason not to continue.

What do you think is his schtick?

“Lil ole Clemson”

You can be a good dude and still come across as a used car salesman. I just don’t think it’s going to last once Clemson becomes the, “it” , team in college football. Mostly since Dabo has been there people have rooted for Clemson. It started with Clemson taking over for FSU as the top program in the ACC. Then they knocked off Ohio State 31-0, now they’ve dethroned Alabama twice. Clemson has been the giant killer. Characters and attitudes tend to change when the hunter becomes the hunted. The media is going to start asking Dabo the same type of loaded questions that they’ve been asking Saban and Meyer all these years. When you’re at the top, people do everything they can to bring you down. Dabos righteousness won’t suffice.

Why would he want one?

You’re getting paid 10 mill a year Dabo, that gig is up.

Hashtag Go Blue Hens.

I don't think he's acted like that for several years. He's been more about Clemson is as good a place as anywhere, not poor mouthing them.

It still comes off that way to me.

[MBWC41]

Dabo’s take on paying players is enough for me to root against him....

 

 

And I still don’t think Bryant deserves/should expect a ring.

[ChickenWyngz]

I wouldn’t want a ring if I weren’t a member of the team....

 

You must not be a millennial.

[TheDeuce]

You must not be a millennial.

 

I hope that's sarcasm.

[ChickenWyngz]

I hope that's sarcasm.

 

Yeah, sarcasm doesn't play well on a message board. It was a lame attempt at what people my age overcome all the time. The lame assumption going directly to wanting everything for nothing simply because of age.

[The Double Deuce]

I'll be the contrarian.

 

If I was Clemson's AD, Kelly Bryant, the QB of my first four games, would have 100% received a ring. Transfer / bail on his teammates or not. Does he deserve it? Who knows, who cares. Clemson should have taken the high road and given him one, and what he does with it is on him and reflective of him. Believe me, they are going to issue rings to 50+ people that had NOTHING to do with them winning games, Kelly Bryant getting one for going 4-0 last year, would have been the most deserving of the lot.
