Dabo's comments on SiriusXM


Jun 12, 2019, 12:19 PM

I have conducted dozens of interviews with Dabo on our SiriusXM platform.

Reading the quote attributed to Coach Swinney from a recent SiriusXM broadcast, I was a bit confused because I didn't recall hearing him make the statement on our show(s).

As we all later found out, the interview and quote in question took place on Coach K's "Basketball and Beyond Show" from this past February.

It's pretty obvious that Dabo was attempting to make light of losing his "famous son status" in his home state of Alabama. After beating the Tide in two national title games, I think it's pretty apparent why the locals would be upset.

As for the "Osama Bin Dabo" line, it was intended as levity. Some jokes go over better than others. Personally, I wouldn't have used the analogy, but coach is entitled to tell his own story.

There are a couple of items that should be mentioned:

1) The comments occurred 4 months ago on a national radio interview. To my knowledge I'm not aware of a single "outrage or complaint" of Dabo's appearance when the show aired in February. For the record, it aired numerous times.

2) The host of the show is a proud graduate of Westpoint. If Coach K didn't seem offended, I'm not exactly sure why some media talking heads would get upset four months after the fact.

3) In our business, it is normally a slow news cycle in June. The CWS will dominate the headlines along with another round of transfer portal news. Digging up a 4 month old quote that was intended to be a joke is hardly newsworthy. Hidden agendas become painfully obvious.

In closing, I speak for everyone on this issue....football season can't get here fast enough.
