I'm not sure about Dabo's relationship with Taylor or Smith's motives but not exactly a good look coming from a former player.....
Van Smith questioning Dabo (SIAP)
- Thread starter marshmk
- Start date
Using that type of logic you could connect "anyone" to "anything". Move on. Jeez.
Glad Im not judged by what some of my friends do/say
Yea he also commented “it’s a reason why it ain’t no more players like us in there”. Whatever the hell that means lol
This world has gotten to a place that everyone is under a microscope and must walk on eggshells.
There is zero evidence of Dabo being anywhere close to racist and he has been a father figure to all races that come through his program. This crap is just that...crap

They aren’t friends either. He came on visits with recruits and requested a picture lol
I have a picture with Dabo....hope that doesn't get out.
insinuating that he does not want his players to get NIL deals.
Some dude said this for that response
"It’s a reason why he ain’t want them boys gettin NIL deals 🤔 hmmmm"
Shit......the word you're looking for was shit.
well shit you are right...
This POS has pictures with tons of coaches on his Twitter…Saban, Norvell, Harsin, Smart, etc.
This seems like a disgruntled former player. I would imagine all across big time D-1 programs there are scum human beings coming to practices. But that doesn’t mean head coaches are out here inviting said scum to their house for dinner.
Doesn’t this trainer have guys on the team and that would be why he’s at practice?
This guy is scum though, based on that video that came out.

This exercise is about as meaningful and constructive as going back 50 years ago to dig up every human being who took a photo with Elvis Presley.
God only knows how many people have had their photos taken with Dabo Swinney since he arrived in Clemson two decades ago.

Probably dozens of other pictures out there with this guy and other college coaches like Kirby, Saban and Kiffen.
*should be a nothing burger.
But so should the “football matters” shirt from 2020.
Opposing recruiters will absolutely eat up a former player saying something like this
Van, you are a former player, Dabo's door is always open and phone always on...give him a call and get some clarity if you need it that bad. You want your former program to be successful, don;t have blacksportsonline.com trying to make Dabo out to be a racist. You are not helping
Does he realize how many scarolina fans have taken pictures with Dabo to 5-bomb him?? Does that make him a scarolina friend and secret fan? Nothing wrong with Van having an opinion. Nothing wrong with folks calling out his opinion as false and immensely stupid. Hopefully every single person that ever asked Van for a picture in history fits into his narrative world nice and neat. Yikes at his logic.
Really think this will hurt recruiting? There are 3 comments on the damn thing and until posted on here, I doubt many views from people who gave two shits about it
Forced narrative. People looking at others to justify their own shortcomings.
Van you sucked at football. Dabo could have been the president of the local NAACP and the fact that you sucked at football wouldn't change.
Also- shit like this is also one of the reasons DJ had a longer leash than other qbs would have gotten.

This guy in this pick is a coach in Georgia who’s taken a pick like this with just about every head coach at every big time college that recruits the players he trains/coaches.. This post by Van Smith is ignorant and that pic means absolutely nothing
he needs to answer as to why he couldn’t visually see oj Howard
When was the first time? Pearman? If so, wasn’t he just repeating a player and saying not to say it? Or am I wrong about that?
If not, what was the first time VS was referencing?

DID look up a couple of obscure Bible translations of 1 Corinthians 15:33.
Never had seen or read these translations, but they speak somewhat directly at the thought.
----------------------------
The Living Bible:
"Don’t be fooled by those who say such things. If you listen to them you will start acting like them."
Worldwide English (New Testament)
Do not be fooled. `If good people keep company with bad people, the good people will become bad too.'
----------------------------
On the other hand, when Jesus was questioned as to why he 'hung out' with known sinners, this was His answer.
Mark 2 :17
English Standard Version
"And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
-----------------------------------------
Once again proving that few things are clearly black or white.
No.
No pun intended.

Man, I’d blocked visions of OJ Howard running free down the sideline from the brain until now. I swear he must’ve had an invisibility cloak on whenever he played us that only worked on our DBs.OJ was obviously invisible to the DBs bro
Lots of that going on in 2023. We have to blame someone. 🤷♂️
It's always the ones you haven't heard from since they left the program.
Also BJ Goodson and Zac Brooks liked this comment so I guess that he agrees. Also, Marcus Edmonds brother is commenting basically stating that Dabo is racist
Van Smith also commented “there was countless things that happened in team meetings he could talk about but y’all don’t want to hear it” (paraphrasing)

I don’t think it hurts recruiting yet but you’re kidding yourself if you think Kirby or Ryan Day wouldn’t absolutely hammer this if they caught wind of it
Didn’t Van leave early? Doesn’t matter what you do, some people you will never please.
Anyone who says “shi I been talking”and “wassup” in consecutive sentences should be evaluated for head trauma.
Whatever…this dude has had pictures with coaches all over the country. It’s not a big deal and won’t cost Clemson a recruit that weakly wants to be a Tiger
