Ellis Johnson, Charlie Harbison, & Woody McCorvey... come on down!

Were'nt these guys w/ Miss St?

All but Ellis, he is with USCe. And I was kidding about them going to Clemson... I have no clue who Dabo is going to get. For all I know, he will keep all or most of the current staff. If he does go out and get his own guys though, I wouldn't be shocked at all if any of those 3 are brought in.
 
I'm proud for him. We walked on here together in 89. He is a class act and has the fire and enthusiasm for the job. Best of luck to him.
 
I like Dabo.

You know this is a tad off the subject but does anyone else think his name sounds like some sort of Italian car?

"Yeah man, I just went and picked up the new V-8 Dabo Merlago. That son of a gun will flat out haul."
 
Pelham can be proud of its Bama connection. Dabo Sweeny, Michael Proctor, Tyler Watts, Lane Bearden.

Ellis has sent word to Mississippi State he would be interested in that job.

Dabo is going to need to hire someone as OC to start. Rob Spence was the first guy he fired.

Then, there is the graduate assistant he promoted to the Wide Receivers coach. Does he keep the job? Their TE coach was a guy that was promoted from a GA as well. It's that guy (Dooley?) that I wonder if he'll keep his job. His experience as a GA was in the video room on the defensive staff.

The current QB coach was a TE coach before Bowden was fired as well...Napier, also serves as recruiting coordinator.

He's got his full complement of "on the field" coaches.
 
I watched Dabo's press conference yesterday at work this morning. One thing he said was "I don't have any plans to change any staff members until after the bowl season."

Well, today, the first day without the "interim title," he fires the DC, Vic Koenning.

IF you recall, the first day he was given the interim job, he fired two guys right off the bat.

One thing for sure...he understands part of his job.
 
Going back a few year for you guys...

Remember Danny Pearman, GA in '90, went on to be our offensive tackle coach until '96?

Dabo's first hire was today, hiring Danny.

Just to put that in perspective, Dabo walked on in '89
 
I am glad to see this too. Clemson just picked up some new fans with this hire. Not to mention, when CNS gets ready to retire "Mama" may very well come a callin.

Just to clarify this post a little...

After a meeting with Dabo, (official language from Clemson) he was "unsure" of his role after the bowl game. So, he resigned.

Now, the reality is...he didn't like Dabo getting the Interim job, had an attitude, met with Dabo yesterday about his future and realized, I don't have one.

You make the call.
