He spoke eloquently, praising in his own words “LSU was the better team”. Takes a lot of class to state this after his team just lost. Much respect Dabo

[@MicahHeard]

As an LSU fan, I have soooooo much respect for that man. When Skalski got ejected and Lawrence fumbled, you can tell it broke his heart and showed care/love to them. He's the father of their team and one of the greatest to ever do it.

[@BigstickNick]

I thought it was cool, after Lawrence fumbled. Even the LSU guys were showing him respect, and telling him to keep his head up.

[@SkorpioVenom]

​@@BigstickNickIts the little things that get me. Saw both sides helping the other team up after a hard hit, its nice to see some mutual respect.

[@karlk9316]

It is classified as a fumble, but the defensive player hit Lawrence's ball carrying arm with the crown of his helmet. It is very difficult to hold on in that position.

[@connorcarroll5349]

Karl K he hit the ball with his left shoulder

[@brian7897]

I felt like crying for Skalski when he got ejected. He was so upset. Looked like someone had killed his dog. That guy was holding everything together against Burrow and had 3-4 sacks plus a bunch of tackles. Not only that but the defense took a colossal loss of momentum from that. I don't think we pressured Burrow the rest of the game after that.

[@sammartin3174]

"We go and love on him when he scores touchdowns, so we're gonna love on him when he makes mistakes too." This is one classy coach. I can see why this team has been so successful. Thank you LSU for an exciting year.

He got boat raced by LSU, what excuse was he going to make? Dabo turned into a clown this year. Clemson didn't deserve respect playing an awful ACC schedule. Any reasonable fan could tell Clemson was very soft after both the tOSU and LSU games. Just not near as physical. Dabo crying about being disrespected for 2 months straight was just a terrible look. One presser doesn't make up for a hundred bad ones. Dabo just isn't what we use to think he was (a good guy).

As an LSU fan, I gotta say, everything that had to happen for us to win happened. Opportunities presented themselves and we capitalized. Opportunities that probably won’t be there ever again. From getting a graduate transfer in Burrow (who had the best season any has had at QB no doubt) in tandem with a passing coordinator who nobody knew, to playing Bama with a hurt Tua, playing a battle tested team in Clemson that uncharacteristically couldn’t bounce back after blowing a 10 pt lead. We were the best team this year, but I’m interested in what we’re gonna look like moving forward. This interview shows a lot about who Coach DABO is and there’s no doubt they’ll be back next year and for years to come. Lots of respect for Clemson!!

Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 cupcake central? That’s why they dethroned the sec champs two out of three seasons. This is a once in a generation level team LSU had they won’t be that good for a while and with Joe leaving an unknown QB stepping up that won’t attract big name receivers. The sec also was pretty much handed to LSU when Tua went down the SEC only has Alabama no other team in the SEC does anything.

One word describes Dabo and that is Class. Love this guy.

[@waldoparsnip1025]

Coach Sweeney's the best ! What a classy guy . A couple of years ago, they were beaten by a huge underdog , Purdue I think , but after the game when the coaches met at midfield to shake hands' , the camera zoomed in and you could read Coach Sweeneys' lips saying , " I am so happy for you !" to the winning coach !Great man , great season !

[@wizardguy14]

So Happy LSU Won it been a while! Clemson played a heck of a game it just LSU got the edge! Clemson will be back it a young team and Lawrence will be a JR! LSU we will see the backup is pretty solid and we have incoming quaterbacks so they will battle!!

LSU is going no where near the playoff next year there ranked ap poll #6 for next year

@@averyfountain5493 Wrong! Offensive coordinator just resigned. Miles Brennan has been shadowing Burrow all year. We have THREE thoroughbred running backs,2 of them stars. Jamar Chase is just a sophomore, Derik Stingley is a Freshman...on yeah, we coming.

[@Jambuc829]

Ken Grady Don’t sit here and act like what Joe did will be replicated in anyway shape or form. He had the best season of all time. If and I mean if LSU and Clemson face each other again LSU is going to get drug through the mud Trevor Lawrence is 20 your safety and DB that made life impossible for QB’s will both be gone. Talented runningbacks?? That’s great but without a QB like Joe to put it together it don’t matter.

[@jamesd7495]

Chin up Clemson fans. Just like nobody would have beaten y’all last year, nobody could have beaten LSU this year. And this coming from a bama fan. Y’all will be back next year

[@mdubb9621]

I swear !! It was THEIR YEAR!!

[@maxrothgaber9950]

James D y’all will be back too, winning the west. Excited for another Clemson bama matchup

[@michaeltoland5170]

James D they will be back every year but you will not 😂

[@jamesd7495]

Michael Toland even if Alabama never comes back, it would take your team a hundred years to catch up to alabamas national championships

[@deepsouth3319]

@William Evans I hope so but, I have to say what drives me crazy about Bama's d-backs is the fact that they never and I mean never turn to find the ball when they are in man coverage and not just this year but every year that Saban has been there. I do not get it at all. As a former D back it was a Cardinal rule " when the receiver turns his head you turn yours"!

[@bowenwallace2802]

What a great gentleman. Class act. Pleasure to listen 2

[@joeyfradella7074]

I’m a die hard LSU fan. From New Orleans and I was beyond excited that we won last night. I got goose bumps all over watching them win. I got to give credit to Coach Dabo that man has slot of class and respect and I appreciate that and respect that.

[@thepenismightier5273]

This coach represents the old America before things changed drastically in the 1990s. A class act.

[@coryaddison]

LSU was the toughest team we faced during this run And they were amazing and played so fast and fun Congrats LSU wish we could play the same team again lol but go be great in Cincy JB.

[@CajunKing985]

Dabo is a class act. Not one bad thing to say about him or Clemson. This game could have gone either way, I'm glad it went to LSU's way. Clemson and Dabo have earned my respect, that's for sure. This coming from a lifelong LSU fan.

[@bodhithadelwita6039]

Wow! Nice human being. Hope he and his team will do amazing things in the future too. All the very best!
