Sometimes. As @BamaFan334 put it

He just saying what others would like to

While i like that i am also in area a that says he lowered himself to a person's level
Gotta be better than that

Personally, I have no problem with what he said to the fan. As a principal, I have had to bite my tongue many times through the years and not say what I was really thinking. As my retirement date approaches at the end of this school year, I am saying more of what is on my mind. I do not make $11.5 million but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Hendersonville, TN. several times.

I knew date i was gonna retire .. in one year
The last year i said what was on my mind often. My favorite word was ... bullshit! As in " that's bullshit"
Lots of snickering from those planning on staying

Was really fun.

To be fair, what is obnoxious about it? We talk a good bit here about Dabo's antics and his lack of action when it comes to the Portal, NIL, and everything else changing in college football. I'd be a little pissed off too if Saban said the heck with it and started losing 3-4 games a year with all the resources he is afforded and money put into the program.

IMO, it’s the tone and context of the question. Dabo isn’t trying to lose. Does the caller think he could do better?

Everybody thinks they can do better when their team is failing. I doubt he thinks Dabo wants to lose, but not participating in multiple aspects and avenues that are legal and being used to bring up other programs is not being utilized and being frowned upon by a guy. So essentially it comes across as he doesn't want to win bad enough if he's not utilizing tools being given to him. When you see Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, and many others showcasing the support they get from the Portal and NIL, it has to be upsetting when your team isn't participating when you have the means.

It goes to the bigger picture.

Anytime I hear/see someone quoting their CV in an argument 1000's of red flags are flown. When it's someone in a position of leadership? More often than not, they've lost it.

Hypothetical.

Let's go back one year post-LSU. Saban allows his coordinators to have press time and Golding responds to a fan in this manner.

What's your reaction?

There’d be 400 pages of a thread about by now if it was Golding

390 of them would be us trying to figure out which RTB member it was that called in.

Ha Ha, so true.

Scroll back and look at the link I posted to the Clemson site.

NO doubt in my mind. It would be a member on TI that never posts.

Honestly, I had no problem with it. I'm not the biggest Dabo fan, but fans are freaking crazy! If the guy is going to call in and blow off his mouth he should be prepared to reap the whirlwind! That said, expectations are what separates great from good! I feel like Dabo's light is flickering.

I like to be big enough to admit when I was wrong or at least mostly wrong. After listening to the kid/guy that asked the question, I do have a problem with the response. The guy was not "over the top" disrespectful in his questions. Since I heard Dabo's response first, I assumed the questions were way more viseral and shitty than they were. If Dabo's response is to think that is part of the problem, he has some soul searching to do. Also, other than comparing him to Tommy Tubberville, he never called him anything and it sure didn't warrant being called a smartass. That said, I would like to save Dabo's response to drop on a few fare weathered Bama fans in the future.
