Swinney passive-aggressive in his response to Gamecocks’ head coach

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney finally got his opportunity to fire back at Will Muschamp’s slap at Clemson’s Death Valley.

Swinney was asked at Thursday’s IPTAY Prowl & Growl event in Charleston, S.C., if he heard the comment the South Carolina head coach made earlier this week when speaking to the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Muschamp threw some shade at Clemson’s Death Valley when telling a story about his time working with Nick Saban at LSU.

“We were at the REAL Death Valley, not the one somewhere else,” he said.

Swinney, whose Tigers beat Muschamp and the Gamecocks 56-7 at Death Valley in 2016, was a little passive-aggressive in his response to Muschamp’s jab.
