Players want to win. They want to play for a coach with a winning formula and there is no doubt Dabo has exactly that.
I expect successful college coaches to more and more start ending up in the NFL. NFL offenses are college offense now. And this is what teams are after and will be until the next new wave hits the league.
Easy to say that in hindsight but Chip Kelly was the definition of the trendy high octane offensive college coach. He didn’t work because he couldnt lead men. Nick Saban has recounted how he could have won if he had better players, specifically a better QB. In college he goes and gets them in the NFL it’s not that easy. Dabo has a winning college formula, it’s called top 5 recruiting classes the same one Saban has. Any football person will tell you players win football games and in college having better players is far easier than in the NFL with a cap to deal with.
This fad isn’t new, it has been done before throughout the history of the NFL. In general one or two will workout in a blue moon but most will wail and return back to college.
