Swinney Downplays Defensive Staff Changes Amid Struggles

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney Downplays Potential Staff Changes

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney expressed confidence in his defensive staff despite the team’s struggles, particularly against the run. After the 38-24 loss to Texas, Swinney downplayed concerns about potential staff changes. He emphasized that the team had a great season, winning the championship and improving overall.

However, the defense was put to the test by Texas, allowing 292 rushing yards, including two 100-yard rushers who averaged 10.4 yards and 7.3 yards per carry. The loss highlights areas where the team needs improvement if it wants to reach its full potential and win the league title. Swinney remains optimistic about his team’s chances in the playoffs but acknowledges that further development is needed.
