SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — When Dabo Swinney’s director or personnel and player relations, Mike Dooley, pointed out there will be less time to prepare for a bowl game than Clemson normally has, Swinney did not believe him.
Every May, Swinney sits down and does a 13-month calendar … July through the next August. He admits he always plans to win the national championship and if the Tigers do not get there then he will adjust.
“I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, this can’t be right.’ I was into December and this was last May,” Swinney said when Dooley pointed out they were losing a week of preparation for the postseason.
