00:00I do want to bring up Dabo, Sweeney, and Clemson.
00:04They face off against Duke this week.
00:06Last time we saw Clemson square off, they lost with a backup Chris Vizina taking over for Cade Klobnik.
00:14They lost outright to SMU as a three-and-a-half point home favorite.
00:18They lost a 35-24.
00:21What can we expect out of Clemson second half of the regular season?
00:24I don't think anybody thought that entering week number 10 to not have the Clemson Tigers involved in the discussion,
00:31at least for an ACC championship, would be out of the realm of possibility.
00:36But here we are, and Clemson is basically just fighting for bowl contention at this point.
00:42I think right now Dabo, Sweeney, is just trying to save his team, save his situation there at Clemson.
00:50Now, I know he's got plenty of confidence, and he's shown he can do it.
00:53But right now, there probably isn't anything on his mind that said, let's salvage this program.
00:58And there is a unique similarity between his personality and the culture at Clemson.
01:03They go together.
01:04And so I think he's more concerned with getting that program turned back around.
01:10You can't get paid a whole lot more than he's getting paid.
01:12I worked with him two years as an analyst.
01:14You don't have facilities a whole lot better than the ones he's got.
01:17So I think right now he's off the radar.
01:20He just needs to get his team back together.
01:22I'm anxious to see if they can end on a winning note and get back to a bowl game, get that thing turned around.
01:27Because I guarantee your name gets off the list pretty quick.
01:30He's not a hot ticket anymore.
01:32Right now, he's not a hot coach on everybody's list.
01:35And that's all a matter of what have you done for me lately.
01:38Another coach that we'll bring up is Mike Norvell and Florida State.
01:43They're actually favorite this week over Wake Forest.
01:47Wake Forest with the upset win over previously undefeated SMU in the conference.
01:52They win it 13-12.
01:54What can we expect out of Florida State?
01:56They have quarterback concerns, obviously.
01:58But more importantly, they need a conference win desperately.
02:02Yeah, no, he's in a whole different situation.
02:04I think, and I've said this before, I don't think Florida State has the finances to buy him out this particular time.
02:11They're hoping he wins the rest of the season.
02:14But he doesn't have the body of work that Dabo has.
02:17Dabo's got a couple national championships.
02:18Norvell does not.
02:20So he's got to fight harder to salvage this season and his own career, I think, more than Dabo.
