I usually don't go to the dark side but just read this hot take on Dabo.
He was in the right place at the right time. Football school in a conference that had been dominated for years by FSU and was ripe for the taking. Able to recruit like upper echelon SEC schools. Had time to learn someone else's offense and pay a DC more than he could make anywhere else. In a hotbed for recruiting playmakers on both sides of the ball and had a great strategy including buying players by buying their coaches and family members. Ultimately, copied USC when he realized that defense was going to be necessary to win. Avoided major injuries.
Like everyone in the history of college football, his time will pass.
Although I will addthat I project college football is a bubble bursting, much like the overpriced universities that live off it.
