Okay, we have to address this.
Clemson is currently 10-0, on cruise control toward another ACC Championship and College Football Playoff appearance. If all goes as planned, this will be their fourth straight appearance in the playoff, a run of success eclipsed only by Alabama.
In his eleven full or partial seasons in Death Valley, head coach Dabo Swinney has elevated the program, going 111-30 with bowl appearances every year. He’s one of the highest-paid coaches in the college game, and he’s revered by Clemson fans, having brought the program their first national title since 1981.
Is there any job that could pull Swinney - a native of Birmingham, Alabama, who played his college career at Alabama, and hasn’t coached anywhere other than Clemson and [checks notes] Alabama?
