Is Clemson Being Fed too Much ‘Rat Poison’?

Remember when Nick Saban came out with his “Rat Poison” speech?

It was classic Saban, as he took his team’s accolades during another great season and turned them into a negative.

The former Alabama head coach coined the phrase “Rat Poison” to hound media for handing out too much praise to the Crimson Tide a few years back, causing his team to become complacent and not play up to their standard.

At least that is how he felt about it.

I have to image Dabo Swinney is telling his team not to eat the “rat poison” that is being dished up all around them these days.
