Saban Asked if Swinney Would Leave Clemson to Start Fresh Elsewhere
During ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday, legendary former Alabama coach and current ESPN college football analyst Nick Saban weighed in on who’s had the more disappointing season: Clemson or Florida State?
“Clemson, because they were ranked higher to start with,” Saban said. “Florida State was ranked. Both teams are having a disappointing season. But I talked to Dabo this week, and I think he really has the right approach. Because every obstacle has an opportunity to learn and people can grow from it. And he really wants to see how his team finishes the season, responds, learns from all the adversity they’ve had to overcome this year.”
