COLUMBIA – Many people have said that Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney should run for office someday, and he proved them right by giving a campaign-type speech to the South Carolina legislature Tuesday.
The Clemson University football team was honored at the South Carolina State House Tuesday for winning the 2018 National Championship. Swinney addressed a joint assembly of the South Carolina Legislature, and he told the assembly that he understands football’s role within the framework of the university.
“I always tell people, we're not the house. I'll tell my players that all the time, too,” Swinney said.
