If you have 30+ minutes this is a pretty good look at Dabo. He isn't a clown, he is a top notch recruiter and general manager of his program.
Yeah Dabo has proven to be the best CEO-style coach in CFB, maybe in history. He completely delegates the offense/defense/ST to his coaches. He doesnt appear to be a great Xs and Os coach (but he's probably much better than we give him credit) but rather a great coaching-talent evaluator and somehow able to keep these coaches on staff. He's also a phenomenal recruiter and the players love him (as opposed to players fearing Saban). I have to admit, I no longer look at him as a clown.

Which is so interesting to compare to Saban. I mean, talk about two total opposite coaching methods.

He speaks a lot at churches and such. The first time I heard him speak I thought he was instantly likeable and understood why he's such a good recruiter.

Come August there will be 5, maybe six if we get Myles Sims, DBs on the roster that were higher rated than him by Rivals.
Where does this guy stack up compared to our current DBs?
Yeah, Brooks for sure, also Jordan Huff and Wesley Walker from last year's class. Battle is just a tick below Jalen Huff ratings-wise: #47 corner nationally, # 66 recruit in Georgia. Very good player we would be happy to get most years. If we actually are slow-playing his offer, that is probably a good sign of where the staff thinks we are at.
