Dabo reflects on his famous rant

Dabo Swinney Dabo Swinney

Head Coach

View Full Profile talks with the AJC about his famous rant about USC before the championship game last season.

“You know, the [reaction] never crossed my mind. That was simply a Thursday night and reacting to a question about something that had kind of lingered all week long. You know, we were getting ready to play in the ACC championship game. I even said at the time that I didn’t know if he [Spurrier] really said it. Obviously, he must have because there has been no retraction or anything like that. I was mad and frustrated, and it just caught me at a bad time. But I didn’t really get caught up in what other people’s reactions were or what they thought about it. I really was focused on trying to win the championship game and put that [loss to South Carolina] behind us at the time. He [Spurrier] came out later that night and said it was a misunderstanding or whatever. And we’ve kind of moved on since that. But that’s really all there is to it.”

Swinney also comments on over-signing, getting shut out of Georgia in recruiting, and recruiting against the SEC.
