Sorting through the pieces when coaches come unglued.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney will lead his team into a ranked ACC matchup against No. 21 Wake Forest on Saturday. **Editor’s Note: Time to take the 6-0 Challenge and make your Week 10 picks against “Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero.” Joseph Goodman’s popular college football picks feature, “Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero,” is adding readers to the action this season., and sign up for Joe’s newsletter to see how your picks compare to the experts as well as other readers.
Saban’s one-liner about reporters feeding his players “rat poison” in the form of positive storylines qualifies as college football literature. Rat poison, in the context of sports, now represents a specific idea. People will be saying, “I’m a man. I’m 40,” long after Gundy is done coaching. Basketball’s Rick Pitino once noted that “Larry Bird isn’t walking through that door,” and that quote is now applied to losses by teams across all sports.
Dabo’s meltdown during his own call-in show certainly has potential to outlive his time in Clemson. He hit all the high notes during a five-minute meltdown about one of his favorite topics, ungrateful fans. Swinney told someone who identified as a Clemson fan named “Tyler from Spartanburg” to apply for the job of head coach at Clemson if he thinks he can do things better.
“So, to answer your question, I started as the lowest paid coach in this freaking business and I’m where I am because I worked my ass off every single day, and I ain’t going to let some smart-ass kid get on this phone and create this stuff. So, if you’ve got a problem with that, I don’t care, all right? I work for the board of trustees, the president and the AD and if they’re tired of me leading this program all they got to do is let me know.
