“We’re trying to get a sixth win’: Dabo Swinney ‘proud’ Clemson consistently wins…
Clemson · AlabamaThe Clemson Tigers looked like they’d be neck and neck with Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide as college football’s dominant programs not so long ago.... However, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney has struggled to adapt to the NIL/ transfer portal era, and Clemson hasn’t made a serious title run in several seasons.
The Tigers are 5-3 so far this year, and barring a miracle, are once again out of the running for the College Football Playoff and a national championship. Although the last several seasons haven't gone as well as Swinney would've hoped, he's still happy with how consistent the program has been under him.
"I'm proud of our team," Swinney told reporters Tuesday, per The State's Chapel Fowler. We're not perfect, but we're consistent."
Dabo: “We’re not perfect, but we’re consistent in a lot of ways.” Tigers can extend their bowl eligibility streak Saturday at Syracuse
