Dabo Swinney reflects on the night he met Michael Jordan

Most college football coaches’ press conferences last less than 20 minutes. Not Dabo Swinney, though, as he’s known to go for nearly an hour and you never know what might be asked of the garrulous head man.

With Deshaun Watson being the talk of the football world, Swinney was asked about his comparison of the former Clemson quarterback and Michael Jordan. The story took many twists and turns and ended up back in Birmingham, Alabama at a club called Jitterbugs.

While Swinney said his initial comment saying the Chicago Bears passed on Michael Jordan was a little misconstrued, he still stands by his message.
