Clemson football boss, Dabo Swinney drops
puzzling take on transfer portal players
The head coach of Clemson football gave his opinion on the three categories of athletes on the site and why he believes they are underqualified.
Fans of the Clemson football team are demanding explanations from Coach Dabo Swinney after the team’s decline from prominence as one of the best in college football in recent years,. With a 9-4 overall record and a 4-4 conference record, the Tigers placed sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference during the previous campaign. They won their last five games in a row after overcoming a difficult start, but many supporters weren’t quite content and questioned why Swinney hadn’t made use of the transfer site like other prominent teams have in recent years.
Swinney offered his opinions on the site on Wednesday, expressing a perplexing viewpoint that is circulating across the college football community.
The seasoned coach’s opinion on why Clemson football is not accepting any transfer portal players this season was expressed before Swinney’s. The ACC has responded to a Clemson football lawsuit with “confidence,” as the football team is well-known for its play.
College Sports posted Swinney’s most recent portal take on Sirius XM, and it has many fans curious as to how the former title-winning coach thinks.
Portal Players Aren’t Good Enough, Says Swinney
With a disingenuous attitude, the 54-year-old living great of college football declared that “most of the guys in the portal aren’t good enough to play for (Clemson football).”
He gave host Roddy Jones an explanation of the three different kinds of players in the gateway and the reason none of them chose to play for the Tigers in Death Valley, South Carolina. To try to explain why he favors high school players, Swinney stated that different types of athletes have different constraints in terms of what they can provide to the program.
Supporters Respond to the Clemson Football Coach’s Remarks
Regarding the ACC and national college football great Swinney’s remarks, fans were vocal.
One fan responded, saying, “I can already hear the haters responding to this one phrase without even listening to exactly what Dabo said.” “Predictably blind to the truth of his own logical arguments.”
According to another reader, “the majority of children visit the portal because they were promised so many things to attend the specified school, and after a few months to a year, obviously those things don’t happen.” “Those things obviously don’t happen all the time.”
Another reader seemed taken aback by the apparent agitation that Swinney’s remarks were creating.
“There isn’t any dispute,” they declared. “You transfer to play for a specific coach, re-prioritize education/post-football life, get more PT, capture a bag, receive more national exposure, or get out of a bad program.”
