""Hey, listen, if Clemson's tired of winning, they can send me on my way," Swinney said. "But I'm gonna go somewhere else and coach. I ain't going to the beach. Hell, I'm 55. I've got a long way to go. Y'all are gonna have to deal with me for a while.""
""I would just say, if you don't believe in us because we've lost two games down to the last play and we're 1-2? You didn't believe in us anyways, so it don't matter," Swinney said. "You weren't 'all in' anyway.""
Clemson began the season ranked No. 4 but suffered losses to LSU and Georgia Tech, falling out of the Top 25 and posting a 1-2 start. Head coach Dabo Swinney publicly defended the program, vowed to continue coaching, and rejected critics who abandon the team after close losses. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has struggled with rhythm and consistency, while the defense is adapting to new coordinator Tom Allen. Swinney noted long-term program success, citing 17 years as head coach with mostly double-digit win seasons and referenced 2023's midseason turnaround to underscore confidence in future recovery.
