Coach Swinney gets a lot of attention nationally because of many reasons but not NEARLY enough for the job he does as our head coach and leader. 8 years ago many, including most of us t-netters, wondered if he could handle this job.
All he has done since taking over is elevating us almost every year. Winning 10 games 4 (about to be 5) times. We NEVER lose games to unranked teams. He has made Clemson a household name nation wide. We have won an ACC, an orange bowl, and beaten countless top 10 teams. And now, we are a perennial top 10-15 team.
Also, he ALWAYS has our guys ready to play. With Dabo, we don't have to worry about slipping up or not being prepared. He has this team focuses EVERY week.
With all that said, we also need to focus on a few other things. He makes great hires and sees potential where others may not. He graduates kids. We constantly put guys in the NFL. And most importantly, he teaches kids life and what it means to be a team, a winner, and life after football. It is great to see former players always coming back and giving back.
