Dabo Swinney doubled down on his emphatic monologue, saying too many of Clemson's fans have grown unappreciative of winning.
from a day earlier, saying too many fans had grown unappreciative of winning and insisting he would not allow the criticism surrounding the Tigers' 4-4 start to"steal my joy."
Swinney ranted Monday night against a caller to his radio show, who introduced himself only as"Tyler from Spartanburg," about a lack of appreciation after so many years of success -- a tirade he referred to as"an Old Testament answer" to an"Old Testament question." Swinney later suggested he would continue coaching for another 15 years, even if that wasn't at Clemson.
Swinney emphasized that he believed the vast majority of Clemson's fans remained supportive of him and the program, but enough had grown vocal about their frustrations that he felt it was impacting the program. Swinney didn't address either concern Tuesday but said he wouldn't change who he is or how he runs his program, just because the team had lost more games than he'd like this season.
"No. 1, we're last in the nation in fumbles," Swinney said."No. 2 is we're last in the nation in fumbles. And No. 3, we're last in the nation in fumbles. And I'll give you a No. 4: Because of where we've had the missed plays, we're near last in red-zone scoring.
