Dabo Swinney’s New Contract – Staying Forever or Going to Bama One Day?

By: Larry Burton

Dabo Swinney is 49 years old and will be 60 when his present contract is over at Clemson. That won’t leave a lot of time to coach elsewhere should he want to. If you talk to Bama fans, they think Dabo is the guy to go to when Saban retires. So Dabo’s contract is over about 2029 and Saban’s current contract is over in 2025, but Saban has indicated lately that he may want to go further than that. Hmmm…. Let’s start the debate on whether Dabo would one day come to the Tide or why he won’t.
