New Story: New contract places Swinney in top ten nationally

New contract places Swinney in top ten nationally

The Clemson University Board of Trustees approved a new contract for head coach Dabo Swinney during a meeting Tuesday morning, guaranteeing that Swinney will be among the highest-paid coaches in all of college football and the second-highest in the Atlantic Coast Conference behind Florida St.’s Jimbo Fisher.

jmo but dabo should be 4th on that list.

It's possible that he took a raise and moved other money


Apr 12, 2016, 9:16 AM

to other positions/raises for his coaches. He's done that before

If he was a money hungry person that cared more about himself than his staff he would be. Dabo spreads the wealth to his deserving assistants vs hoarding it for himself. He knows they make him successful and he makes sure they get compensated at a compensatory level for that success.

He understands that keeping an elite coaching staff is top priority.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He's only 300K from being 4th on the list...


Apr 12, 2016, 9:54 AM [ in reply to Re: New Story: New contract places Swinney in top ten nationally ]

I'm not saying he's money hungry, but he is getting paid about 5th nationally and he doesn't coordinate the offense or defense like most of those top guys do.

Jimbo is the head coach and offensive coordinator.

I think he deserves every penny of what we are paying him, but I also don't think he's some sort of "saint" by only wanting 5.1 million

link to where I said he's a saint?

I made my point and it's an accurate point...

Funny really, considering he's beaten 2, 3 and 4 on the list


Apr 12, 2016, 9:19 AM

If we could make a tackle on kick returns, could add #1 to it too.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

1-5 have all won national titles with the exception of


Apr 12, 2016, 9:28 AM

Harbaugh. Jimbo is also 4-2 against Dabo despite losing last year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So he cut his contract back a year from the original 8 year


Apr 12, 2016, 9:27 AM

signed. So he's expecting Saban to retire in 5 years, and he can leave when his contract expires...no buyout, no regrets, no obligations.

Nice plan.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah I'm sure that's exactly what's going on here. SMH***

Wondering if all the hype about seeing DW4 in the spring game, was more motivated by upcoming contract???

I was disapointed to see him in for 3-4 series.

Don't get me wrong, as a business fulcrum it was a good idea. Being able to get 50,000+ to a spring game makes a strong point to your influence.

Think he should of been atleast top 3, with what he has been able to prove.

Re: New Story: New contract places Swinney in top ten nationally


Apr 12, 2016, 9:49 AM

Top 3 might of been kinda high, have to agree if he solved the special teams issue in a timely fashion or at all prob would of be much higher. But I wouldn't be surprised if he spread the wealth around to keep his guys together, happy and knowing they were valued.

You're worth what someone is willing to pay you I suppose.

Franklin is a good coach. Just entered a tough situation up there. I expect he'll build it back.

He probably wouldn't go unless they did shave off the hip,


Apr 12, 2016, 10:01 AM [ in reply to James Franklin is pimping Penn State. ]

considering the precedent that was set with the former coaching staff's tenure.

Apr 12, 2016, 9:45 AM

With the exception of Harbaugh, all ahead of him have one a natty. When he wins the natty this year he probably has a clause in that will escalate him into a minimum of the average of the top three, think that might have been,in his old contract. He got a very good deal, glad Clemson ponies up, he is worth every penny.

Maybe it's just me but some coaches....


Apr 12, 2016, 10:20 AM

like Charlie Strong, Kevin Sumlin, James Franklin and possibly Hugh Freeze may be slightly over-paid for the results they produce.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


What's the buyout for each party? Interesting he reduced the length.

Wow, some of you are crying about how much he's getting paid but you would also cry if we were still a mediocre program? Are you ever happy? He deserves this contract based on results and the appearance of the foreseeable future and I have absolutely no problem with it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Whatever it takes to keep him. We will never find a better coach/human being ever***

I know the big story is the money, but I thought they'd


Apr 12, 2016, 8:18 PM

extend the length of the contract. When the 2014 contract was signed it went through 2021, eight seasons. This one didn't extend the length one day. I though they'd make this one go to 2023, another eight season period.

What are the buyout numbers for Dabo to pay should he ever want to leave?

Glad Dabo is here. He's the best football coach we've ever had.

Re: New Story: New contract places Swinney in top ten nationally


Apr 13, 2016, 1:49 PM

I'm thinking not winning the natty probably cost HCDS being #4 on the list.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.


What happens if he wants to leave?


Apr 13, 2016, 3:52 PM

There should be buyout stipulation that will have him pay back every penny they give him so he doesnt leave.

On a serious note, im super happy the school decided that this man is worth more then the lousy crap they were paying him. Hope he sticks around after 2021.
