Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney learned this is hard

for those of y'all that don't know dabos Sweeney had a radio show dabos Sweeney decided that his radio show should no longer take call-ins if you are living underneath that particular Rock you'll probably not know that last year a caller who went by Tyler from Spartanburg called in dabos Sweeny's live show and gave him a piece of his mind and Dabo came unglued in a six- minute rant against Tyler and all Clemson fans like Tyler saying that the expectation is higher than the appreciation and you know what he had a point he like look here we've won 10 games in a row three years in a row that's happened three other times in the history of Clemson football before he got to Clemson what was the national championship first one 35 years oh yeah we won two and seven like Dabo was giving this boy his resume and I kept thinking Dabo you have been suckered my fan my my dude you've been suckered because fans do not care about what you have done they care about what you're gonna do what are you gonna do and as far as Tyler from Spartanburg had seen what you had done is lose 287 to Duke lose a game you should have won Florida State in overtime lose to Miami in overtime lose to NC State okay that's what he had seen you do doesn't matter that you finish nine and four doesn't matter that you beat a good Kentucky team it matters that well we ain't playing for no national championships or no ACC titles now coach and you make a lot of money to do just that to which I'm just gonna tell you hey look here man um first taking calls it's dangerous it's dangerous work it's dangerous to take calls like taking live calls real difficult on the host and the person got to answer those questions because you got to have you got to be quick you got to know what you're talking about you got to know how to get in out of this you got to know what is at the bottom of your caller's question or at your caller allegations accusations whatever you just have to be quick on the mic and that's not a skill that a lot of coaches have to actually have because coaches get to dictate they get to tell you what's going to happen it's why Prime can show up there and tell off reporters he understands that part but a call-in show is also a great way to get trolled is a great way to get made fun of but it also can be the lifeblood of your show if you do it right matter of fact I would love to take calls on this show if there was such a way that's why we do the chat that's why I want to do the live show tonight but I also recognize that dbos Sweeney is not necessarily built for this job he's built for the job he has okay and I say that to say coach Sabin is figuring this out too okay matter of fact one of the things that I've really enjoyed about Coach sabin's turn to being in the media is a a couple of the quotes that he gave to the athletic and there's a great feature out on the ringer by Jordan ran you should go check out but the quotes that I pulled out of the athletic I thought were really cool and I just wanted to give them to you so that when you are talking to me about what I do here you'll come to understand the greatest of all time also having a hard time adjusting okay you know I spent my entire coaching career according to people uh excuse me a costing people who speculate make predictions and ask hypothetical questions now that I'm in this world this is my gig and it's hard amen hallelujah can you say it a little louder for the for the for the folks in the back there coach can you can you can you tell them just a little bit more about how difficult the job can be when you got to give an opinion about what might happen and then people want to hold you to account because your opinion was wrong or your opinion did not live up or you made a prediction that did not come true can you can you can you can you preach for me coach can you can you talk a little bit more about that tell me tell me some more about what you have learned on a little game day set little media tour that you've been on I mean he been coaching for the better part of 50 years dog but he been doing this job for all of two minutes here to tell you it ain't it ain't for everybody it ain't it ain't for it's cash dog I ain't for everybody okay another quote he gave this is the ultimate hypothetical situation talking about his college football playoff te team selection he hated having to do that because he said look if you were in a press conference You' be getting ate out by me I'd be wearing you out yeah you would because he don't want to talk about no hypotheticals he don't want to talk about no rap poison he want to talk about process this is a man who believes that the scoreboard is irrelevant he believes that he takes that to his core he wants you to go about the process and in our business it ain't it ain't it ain't about process it's about results are you right are you wrong can you defend your position can you ask good questions can you actually follow the red light can you f those T when the mic comes on do you have something to say do you have something to add okay I think the bottom line that I would give is that this gig is hard I mean it's fun it's a lot of fun and I love doing it but the gig is hard especially if you do it right if you prepare if you do what I do which is host a show by yourself where you don't need callers and you don't need co-host that's what I've learned is kind of rare in my job in my space not a whole lot of people can just do this it's one of the reasons why Colin coward is at the top of the game you know what I'm saying he don't need you he can do this without you and be entertaining but people will show up tell you off all the time they will call you names they will remark on things you can't help like the way your voice sounds or the size of your head that or or even even the way that your your face Folds right like talking about your eyes or whatnot you'll learn to handle it or you wer learn you won't you'll learn that the best take is a fact people want to argue facts then feelings feelings though inform fact for so many if I give you a fact that you don't agree with you're going to have a reaction to that and in many respects that's kind of the gig because that's entertaining if you ever are driving and you're listening to Sports Talk Radio and you find yourself talking at a stereo in a car to a person that cannot hear you that person that cannot hear you is doing their damn job and you should applaud like full stop who can do that that I've always thought that feeling was magical and I've always kind of been enamored by it and I've always tried to give it give people a reason to want to engage you lean in on this stuff you learn your weaknesses you accept them but you do not allow them to limit what you want to go do in the space and then you sit down in front of this microphone and you try again the next day and in my case you do this for seven years come September TW SE September 10th 2017 seven years this year I love this job I really do and believe it or not I love y'all too all right that is going to do it for tonight's live show we'll be back tomorrow because we're back every day uh Oklahoma temple let's go doses
