I think by large college football is built on the backs of delusion amongst their fanbases.
Dabo should have realized this wasn’t going to be acceptable in today’s college football world. The trade off for big money coming to college football & enriching people like him is the insane & what have you done for me lately expectations. Saban would be getting absolutely killed in Alabama if he was sitting 4-4 right now too. It’s just the way of the game these days.
I guess the issue is that other coaches have seemingly just accepted this trade off as a it is what it is type of thing while Dabo like everything else seemingly has his mind stuck thinking this like 10-20 years ago.
