Dabo Swinney has been known to act the part of a pastor and take the congregation to church, and he did it again Monday when responding to criticism for his statement on the COVID-19 outbreak.
Swinney participated in a conference call with media last Friday and he said that he has “zero doubt” that the college football season will be played, despite fears that the virus outbreak will linger into the fall. Social media quickly jumped on the “bash Swinney” bandwagon, and Swinney said he wasn’t surprised at the outcry.
“I am not surprised. Listen, there are so many blessings to having this job that I have and I have worked my whole life to get to this point,” Swinney said on Off Campus with Mark Packer on SiriusXM Monday.
