- Dabo Swinney has won multiple ACC and national titles at Clemson while also seeing the sport of College Football shift under his feet. Recently the Tiger head man sat down with 247Sports' Carl Reed for a wide-ranging interview on the current and future state of the sport PLUS the latest on the Clemson program heading into spring practice.
Coach Reed…thank you for letting Coach Swinney answer your questions without interruption.
BEST INTERVIEW EVER!! A must listen for Clemson Fans, players, parents, and recruits!!
Great interview 👍🏾
Dabo is such a wonderful blessing to the athletes.
Dabo is so genuine. so good to see, young men are so lucky to have such a great man for their Coach!
I actually like Dabo after this interview. I wasnt really sure about him before. I really enjoyed this interview. Thx!😀
Dabo is a great guy. He is a lot like Saban. He leads by example and is not fearful of what people think of him when he makes a stand. Leaders do that.
I’m so thankful Dabo is our coach. I’m thankful Saban is who he is too. Both great men.
Coach Reed, I'm so thankful that you let Coach Dabo have time to explain things. Thank you, sir.
Listening to Coach Swinney talk.......Clemson is going to be just fine as long as he is there.
Yep. He is genuine.
Got that right
Gotta say, even as a UGA fan Dabo makes a lot of sense with his thoughts on transfer portal.
WOW I love what this coach is saying!
Dabo is a solid dude man.
Less of an interview... More like a front row seat to a classic Dabo Swinney motivational speech.
This is an amazing interview.
Great interview
I’m not a big dabo fan but everything he said in this I agree with and actually surprised me
Haters can bash Dabo all they want, but they can't deny he works hard for his players and loves them like sons. If every coach and administrator cared as much about these kids as he does, college football would not be turning into mini-NFL like it is.
Gotta love the Dabo haters who make up their own alternate reality about who he is and how he runs a very successful program. They can keep on hating, but he is still gonna succeed and he is still going to be right. 👊☺️
I'm a 68 yo guy who only does some pushups and rowing every day - BUT, I'd play (and get badly beat up) for Dabo RIGHT NOW!
Dabo is always a good listen
Dabo made some good points. Great interview.
Coach touching on your comment on equipping for life, for me I try to prepare all the time, I would never leave my house without a spare tire in my truck, meaning the greatest football recruit ever 100% sure he's going to the NFL, needs that "spare tire" such as an education to fall back on just in case and most likely there will be a just in case, to build a great house first you have to build a greater foundation...Go Tigers All-In, great interview of which I never expected it to be anything less...
Dabo just spoke truth. Wish the powers to be would listen.
The powers that be are only worried about keeping revenue maximized and protecting themselves from lawsuits.
Poor lil Ole Clemson
@@fndrr42 don’t you worry about little ole Clemson… Clemson will be fine.
@@hufferbillypaw - your right, Clemson will be fine I just wish Dabo realizes he doesn’t need to play the underdog/world against Clemson anymore. He’s been there before, should act like it.
Great coach … great man… go tigers !
Didn't he get an officer fired because he got caught speeding (allegedly drinking also)?
@@BoogieIRL He wasn’t drinking, and the officer got fired for using department equipment to post about the traffic stop on a South Carolina Gamecocks message board.
@@cbreeze864 technically we can say he wasn't drinking because he wasn't charged with anything, but if you watch the video he's under the influence.
@@BoogieIRL Just say you’re a gamecock fan and you don’t like the guy. Stop making BS up to fuel your hatred.
@@BoogieIRL you seem a little salty with Dabo lmfao
I always like to hate on Dabo but he seemed to have a pretty good handle on what probably should happen with the transfer portal. I think they made a mistake dropping the transfer rules, Covid was the excuse for everything.
Would love see he and Saban take over college football and administer the common sense to fix college football.
Dabo does not want players to be able to transfer without sitting out a year. Who does that benefit, the coach only.
I like the August SD. It would stop these kids from committing/decommiting nonsense and lock them in. Take the time to visit campuses and make a decision then shut it down.
One of the best offenses in the country every day in practice lol
Yeah Dabo ain’t my favourite either but he absolutely nailed this one . Between the transfer portal , NIL, conference changes and the playoff , something has to change .
Nothing has to change
This interview shows why Clemson has rarely had a top 5 recruiting class and is still competing at the highest level. He gets the more out of the players through development
why dabo dont use the portal?
He has offered 3 in the portal and secured 1. So saying he won’t use it is not true. It just has to be the right culture fit.
Just too much common sense here. Put Dabo in charge of College Football.
CFB fans, start being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Transfer portal and NIL aren't going anywhere. Tampering isn't new, it's front and center now. Colleges/ Universities have to appeal to players by demonstrating how their program will develop players' educational, NFL and financial goals.
He talking about Quinn Ewers 🤣🤣🤣
CFB turning into NFL everyday
Sad but true.
Yep…
Good man should be on ncaa committee to fix college football. Clemson football is no longer competitive recruiting big boy talent at the highest level. Dabo needs to focus on our football team needs. Bring fresh coaching talent from the outside who are familar with the current college landscape who are chasmatic to build our talent back and stop the Clemson talent drain through the transfer portal ok. Go tiger and please start now to out work Kirby in recruiting instead of being his victim or that of UNC and Notre Dame or Miami not to speak of SEC ok! Go tigers !
When Texas A&M , with all their mediocrity and a shady coach , have a record recruiting year , you know the system is broke.
Dabo would be the one that wants the early signing period in August because he lost his main assistants
That’s not a Dabo thing. A lot of college coaches are in favor of an August signing period
He has mentioned August signing day years ago…. When he never lost an assistant l think his reasons are genuine
Graduate with a degree first, then you can transfer.
Hey I got an idea don't participate in social media.
I would have liked this interview better if he was not selling Clemson so much. I wish he would have talked more in general about the changes in CFB.
He’s the CEO of Clemson Football, your expectations of him not selling Clemson are foolish and unrealistic.
He did talk about it in general too. Did you listen?
Roll Tide
Dabo's heart is in the right place, but this is what the players want. Clemson is going to fall behind if he doesn't get with the times.
I think Dabo's point is that kids shouldn't always get what they want, and that's why adults need to make rules, because kids only see the candy in front of their face and not the cavities it's going to give them later.
@@MrMcLovinMcLovin lol, so keep it the old way were only coaches get paid and kids get suspended for selling a shoe or autograph?
@@lilcourtny08Dabo never said that. He is for the NIL. He is for your own activities for Name Image Likeness. As much as those "kids" made a name for Clemson BEFORE an NIL ever cane about...one million don't want to see Clemson taken down by a now 10th grade brat that in two years has absolutely no consequential idea or doesn't care.
Dabo got it right or go play elsewhere. Clemson isn't going down the tubes. Should that ever happen, as bad as college football is right now, a lot of top tier more than Clemson will go as well.
Coaches get paid for a reason.
Be one.
You are preaching to the choir while Kirby and Notre Dame are going out and just recruiting. The ncaa is not changing until it becomes a complete train wreck. Lets make sure we are still standing when they are interested in the change and start the move back to common sense. ok Dabo
Ducks will never win a Natty, Las Vegas Bookies all agree !
Clemson is a victim of there own success. They have become so successful that there perspective is just no longer popular
Not at all the case…
@@hufferbillypaw yes it is. Clemson can be said to be very similar to Carroll USC or a mack Brown Texas.... the conference has caught up, Clemson may go 10-2 a few times but playoff days are gone my friend
@@phillyfan3942 natty game again this year
@@hufferbillypaw I’m a USC fan. The only time I DONT root for Clemson is when they play us. Ever since you guys blew Alabama out in 2018, I’ve never said a bad thing since about your program. Just make sure you realize USC is becoming a contender. Go cocks.
The future of Clemson is the Trash 🗑 Can 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like a car salesman! What happened when people were talking about real life issues and he pulled out his shirt that said “Football Matters”. This dude is a snake!
People really don’t get this dude. His players educated him on what the statement BLM really means. That’s why he agreed to the players changing their nameplates and helmets to social justice messages after that, and supported/spoke at the campus BLM rally. People evolve with education and knowledge.
@@cbreeze864 he didn't support he just knows Clemson would be a joke without BLM players. They would be a dumpster fire without blk players
Yea your coach is the moral authority when he’s on the wagon and ain’t drunk at practice.. lol
Dabo is a BUST Clemson will NEVER be back again
Good God it takes alote to make it through an interview with Dabo. Dabo and Harbaugh are brutally boring. Dabo goes off rambling forever after each question fml.
So don't watch D.A.
@@IAAP. it takes all I have believe me
Took him about 2 minutes to start crying and complaining 😂😭
Yeah you didn’t actually watch the interview at all
@@JoBo0209 I watched with an open mind for like 2 minutes and 37 seconds and he started complaining about other teams, and poor Clemson 🤦♂️ same ole guy hes always been🤷♂️
@@deetch7861 He’s directly answering a question about what changes he’d like to see in college football and explaining his reasoning. He didn’t mention any other programs by name, he just pointed to some recruiting practices that do go on that he thinks those changes would eliminate or at least cut down. If your supervisor at your job came in and asked you what changes you’d like to see in the workplace, and you answered, is that crying? That’s the problem with a lot of people. Watch the full interview. You’d find you agree with him a lot more than you don’t.
@@JoBo0209 your biased bc hes your coach, he constantly complains while trying to make his point about anything. The whole world see it 🤷♂️
@@deetch7861 Hmm. Interesting. Because other people in this comment section didn’t seem to get that impression. So I don’t think it’s the whole world. I think some people like you have a preconceived caricature of what you think Dabo Swinney sounds and behaves like and look for it in anything he says. You had nothing to say about his comments later in the interview like the ones about the importance of mental health for the players and the pressures they deal with for example. You had nothing to say about what he’s done at Clemson to prepare his players for life after football. But then again, you didn’t actually watch the interview.
