All domains of language that were on display in that interview were not indicative of AAE. If anything, he was using SAE (Standard American English) mixed in with some Southern English characteristics, topped off with some emotion and pride for his football team.

This thread is unbelievably stupid and ignorant.

I was able to hear Dabo speak to a group of top high school athletes about 3 years ago. Before hearing Dabo speak I thought Clemson had made a huge mistake in hiring him- but Dabo changed my mind.

The guy has a great story- grew up poor in Bama, alcoholic father, etc.
Was homeless for a while in HS.
Ended up walking on at Bama, earning a scholly, was on the MNC team in 92, and becoming the 1st person from his family to ever graduate college. If he was a Gator we'd be singing his praises.

After hearing his story, hearing him speak, I got it. He's one of the most inspirational people I've ever heard. It doesn't make him a perfect coach, and he is what he is- a poor guy from Alabama, so he's not going to sound extremely polished, but I personally like the guy.

I'm 28, and last time I checked, you were the only with your panties in a wad because Brandon Spikes tweeted a joke about cocaine. Lol.

Calling out somebody for their ignorant comments about someone's language in no way makes one a "prude."

I'll "keep spitting that weak sauce" when you upgrade your trailer in Keystone Heights.
