I'm a FSU fan but u can't help but like this guy. He's a great leader and does things right AND HE has taken Clemson football to the next level and deserves some credit.

Dabo Swinny is such a likeable dude seems like a type of coach you would see in football movies😁😁 thank you for moulding Watson into the players he is Dabo💯✊✌- Texans fan/new Clemson fan

[bradleyBradley-dnuz]

He sure gonna break a lot of hearts when Bama calls him back home...

It will come down to these 2 for 6 of the next 10 years, including another Natty matchup this year. He’s done everything Saban was able to pull off in building a program, with a completely differing style. Fun to watch those 2 get on the field, it’s flat out filled with Sunday talent, both sides of the ball, both sides of the field.

LOVE MY COACH. LOVE MY TEAM. #ALLIN disrespectful they gave him the b team to interview him.

Alabama is going 15-0 this season. Same monster D-Line, fastest linebackers, great O-Line, tons of weapons, best running back group in the country, and now they have a heisman candidate QB which they haven't had. They have literally everything including the best coach at this point it's everyone vs Alabama a win for any other team besides Alabama is a win for the rest of the country because they are the standard.

Dabo did not want Bama in the playoffs last season...he knew what was going to happen.

[AButler]

Yes! Love him. I’ll be there next season being apart of that team! His faith in Christ is amazing! GOD is great!!!

Bruh, what happened to the real First Take??

[nadeau]

Clemson winning the natty again this year.

[joshnyjets]

Course he's motivated, because once Saban retires Dabo on his way to T-Town

[enfinnity_]

Alabama winning again. They putting Hurts at running back😂😂

[glockmanc]

Dabo will come back to Bama when Saban decides he has won enough championships. Roll Tide!

[loganhowell]

Dabo ALWAYS looks high. Danny Ford must be growing it and selling it to him.
