Not sure if this should be posted on the "unpopular opinions" thread or here...
I like Dabo and feel like he's kind of getting slammed unfairly on this. The asst coach correcting a player by saying "we don't say n-word" is stupid but certainly not a scenario of a coach calling a player that or otherwise using it in conversation. The scenario of Dabo touring a prospective coach around the facility and being embarrassed by the language in the music and calling the team out on it is understandable and seems to be a story that was surfaced by a disgruntled person.
The T-shirt is poor timing, but it's not like he had it made. It was gimme shirt from the National Football Foundation initiative that has been around for a couple of years, not that dissimilar to the SECSECSEC "It just means more" campaign. I'd imagine he's worn that shirt 30 times over the last couple of years and hasn't given ulterior meanings a second thought, but the timing is rough and it ought to be taken out of the rotation. The article below discusses the National Football Foundation's intent to re-name the initiative as a result of recent events.

His players, (past and present) outside of some disgruntled ones, are defending him. He's a bit of a bumpkin but I'd take him on our sideline in a heartbeat. Having said that, I will grant that Herman's handling of these last couple of weeks have probably been his finest hours as UT's coach.
