sat down with legendary college football coach Dabo Swinney on the latest episode of @NextUpBreneman.
We covered his journey from the University of Alabama to becoming one of the most successful coaches in college football history. We talked about the work ethic that shaped him, the experiences that led him into coaching, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
We also discussed what still drives him at Clemson Tigers football, why developing young people remains his biggest motivation, and how he’s navigating the new era of NIL and the transfer portal.
This is Dabo Swinney, unfiltered.

Clemson is SCORCHING HOT on the recruiting trail right now, landing 12 commits in the last 14 days and beating many of the top programs in the country along the way.
The Tiger netted four today alone in the span of one hour 👀 Dabo has finally decided to give some money to HS players and this is the result.
Their recruiting class moved from #29 in the country to #6 in a VERY short time period, and there are multiple other recruits who plan on announcing their pledges to the Tigers soon.
Is Clemson back?
Three weeks ago, the Tigers were fighting to be a top 25 class in the country.
Earlier today, Clemson sat at No. 14.
As of this tweet, the Tigers have the No. 6-ranked class in the nation. (247Sports)
Momentum, huh?

Years ago, when he briefly quit in 2008, Dabo fought tooth and nail for what he believed Clemson needed to become a winner. He battled because he was convinced he knew what it would take to build a championship program.
Now, in a somewhat similar way… https://t.co/amyE6Bhufm
