At a news conference following a tense radio appearance, the coach suggested a “pruning” in the wake of criticism over the Tigers’ 4-4 start this season.
“I ain’t asking nobody to be happy,” Dabo Swinney said Tuesday, “but let’s not eat our own.” Amid a 4-4 start that has Clemson’s football team on pace for its worst season in more than a decade, Coach Dabo Swinney chided a vocally unhappy portion of the Tigers’ fan base as being “part of the problem,” and he went viral Monday after ripping into a caller to his weekly radio show who questioned Swinney’s large salary.
In a lengthy response to the caller, Swinney cited Clemson’s 12 straight seasons before this one of 10-plus wins, a feat he claimed had only “happened three times in 150 years,” as well as his 2016 and 2018 teams’ national titles.
