The Clemson coach didn't back down Tuesday from his comments to a fan.
,” a caller identified only as “Tyler from Spartanburg” asked Swinney why he’s paid nearly $11 million per year if his team is now 4-4 and seemingly getting worse by the year.“I had some idiot go Old Testament on me, and he got an Old Testament response,” Swinney said. “Y’all print that one … I’m gonna fight for this program.”“What else is there to add?” Swinney said to reporters asking a follow-up question. “I’m gonna fight for this program. That’s why no coaches don’t take calls.
Swinney, a former Alabama walk-on wide receiver, acknowledges the record this season isn’t what it should be. “I’m not asking people to be happy,” he said. I’m just saying don’t eat our own.”“Even when we’ve won, everybody’s miserable,” he said. “That’s sad. That’s really sad. I’m thankful for the struggle. I’m thankful for the opportunity to teach in a way I haven’t had a way to teach in a long time. So sit back and enjoy the journey. That’s what I would tell you.
“We’re in the midst of an amazing journey in college football history, and I’m not going to let one season, when I know exactly what the issues are, and a bunch of great kids and great coaches, I’m not going to let one season dampen that. I’m going to fight for this program. Hopefully, we can get back to some appreciation around here. It’s freakin’ hard to win. All you have to do is look around the country.”. He can be heard on “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.
