Fans of opposing teams like to think that Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is simply the CEO of the 29-0 Tigers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Just because Swinney has some of the best coordinators in the country in defensive coordinator Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, doesn’t mean he isn’t involved in almost every aspect of practice and game prep.
As a matter of fact, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said Swinney would probably take offense to being labeled a CEO.
“Dabo would come off the top belt on CEO,” Herbstreit said during a media call earlier this week.
