Clemson coach says Dabo Swinney is a young Bobby Bowden

CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney reminds Jeff Scott of a young Bobby Bowden, not a bad comparison when you consider Bowden won 377 games during his storied coaching career.

No. 2 Clemson plays at Florida St. Saturday in Tallahassee, a homecoming of sorts for Scott. Brad Scott, Jeff’s father, coached with Bowden at Florida St. from 1983-93. It’s one reason Jeff loves to go back to Doak Campbell Stadium.

“Yeah, I have a lot of great memories from my time down there. I’ve been at Clemson now though for about 20 years because of my dad,” Jeff Scott said Monday.
