Here's the thing. The 8 year contract, by no means, means that Dabo will be locked in to being Clemson;s head coach for eight years no matter what. Clemson most likely set it up that they are able to go in a re-negotiate if he is doing good or bad. They could pay him more, or less depending on his performance, and they might go in and make is buyout more if he is doing good in case some other team may try and take him from Clemson. I am glad he is staying, but just stating that it is locked in for those 8 years.
