The dumb part would be commenting about BLM as a head football coach.

[CNS]

It seems like the more someone is paid, the more they feel like others need to know their opinions on stuff.

Clemson obviously prayed harder before the game after hearing Watson's & Dabo's post game interviews.
 

[Skipper44]

I also find Dabo a little off putting but any cfb coach that recruits the South better be able to talk about Jesus

[pvegs]

Dabo said some pretty stupid stuff about BLM/race in America.  But I like him on the spectrum of college coaches.

totally, dabo is good at coaching and kinda humble seeming, which puts him in my top 5% favorite of the 95% of cfb coaches who are trump voting sociopaths with no grasp whatsoever of institutionalized racism.

A coach could comment on blm in an intelligent manner that might alienate a few donors but be a net positive for the program and society. I think the way Chip Kelly handled kapernick would have been great for a college coach, for example.

you're dead wrong if you don't think Hawkins was authentic.

Who said that? He's a weirdo.

There is no way a southern college football coach can have a nuanced view on black lives matter or anthem protests.

That recent ESPN article on Venables kind of opened my eyes to another possibility.  Fair or not, it characterized him as a batshit crazy screamer who curses non-stop on the sidelines and has to be physically restrained by a dedicated person.  Maybe that's his ON mode rather than his DC supermotivator mode?  Could be awkward at pressers, fundraising dinners, etc. if so.

Point?

Why does ESECPN always purpose that any coach would leave a top flight job for an SEC job?  Mike and Mike had a brief question about Saban leaving and how Bama would probably call Dabo for the vacancy.  I could see them asking but not expecting much.  They connection they seemed to make wasn't that Dabo would be leaving to "go home" but rather it's because it's Alabama.  Along a similar thought, why would Jimbo Fisher go to a clearly lesser job at LSU from Florida State?  I could maybe see that if FSU had a lot of issues after Bobby left and was down for a few years and they weren't investing in the program at FSU.  But it's clear they wanted to get things rolling again and have put the resources and commitment behind Fisher.

Which is a great reason we should really want him, but a great reason Currie won't hire him.  I mean, getting rid of Frank was hairy enough, and that was basketball.  Can you imagine what would have transpired if Frank was a winning Football coach?

Hamburgler said it in the post just before mine that you quoted.

Bill Self curses like a sailor and gets red faced about two dozen times during games. 

It's just his intensity level, and given the results from KSU/OU/Clemson, it's clear to see that it connects with players and produces results.

Coach Snyder one time said something like "God has children on both sides of the ball, I don't think he's pulling for one team over the other."

[TheProdigiousTalent]

Plenty of coaches curse and scream all day on the sidelines.  Not my concern.  I think we mostly agree that BV must have had boatloads of 1st-interview opportunities for HC positions, so I'm engaging in wild speculation by wondering whether he might struggle to turn off the intensity in situations that normally call for cool, calm, and collected.  I have no idea.  Just throwing it out there since the other working models for why he hasn't taken a HC gig don't seem all that convincing.

Being an unhinged lunatic is a reason to hire him?

As a fan, that and his performance history, absolutely.

Winning football with an entertaining figure head sounds absolutely amazing to me.

You will acknowledge though that his sideline demeanor though would be an issue fire someone who's job could hinge on a coach embarrassing the university.

Of course.  That's why I made the comment about Frank. 

Of note: Leavitt is apparently a sideline maniac too.

he also told the team once at haltime in AMes that they made him want to blow his head off with a  shotgun.

Sounds about right. They've played some horrible 1st halves in Ames.
