Dabo Swinney defended Clemson’s long-term foundation Tuesday, pointing to championships, graduation rates, and culture. He insists the Tigers are “in a good spot” despite this year’s struggles.
Even as he shouldered the blame for Clemson’s recent struggles, Dabo Swinney made one thing clear: the program’s backbone is stronger than ever.
“Our program is great. Our program is built right. Our program has never been built better,” Swinney said.
He highlighted the broader accomplishments beyond the win-loss column.
“The No. 1 thing in our program is graduation and we lead the nation there. No. 2 thing is build great men and we’ve done that.
