Swinney on Alabama: ‘They’ll do what they do’

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says the Tigers are not concerned with the fact Alabama head coach Nick Saban let offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin go a week before the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

Saban announced on Monday that he and Kiffin agreed to part ways in the best interest of both parties. Kiffin was hired last month to be the new head coach at Florida Atlantic University. Saban promoted former Southern Cal and Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian as Kiffin’s replacement.

“I guess you’ve got some nuances that might be a little bit different maybe from a play call or something like that, but you’re not going to – it’s not like they’re going to come out and run the triple option,” Swinney said on a Tuesday teleconference with the media to preview next Monday’s national championship game in Tampa, Florida against the Crimson Tide.
