Why Dabo Swinney was saying 'Go Dogs' during Clemson football off week
Coach Dabo Swinney had an interesting Clemson off weekend that full of watching football. He even found himself saying "Go Dogs."
During Clemson's football off week, coach Dabo Swinney spent much of his time watching football, just as he has for decades. His son, Drew Swinney, is now the Samford wide receivers coach, which made watching Samford's 19-3 loss against Chattanooga particularly poignant for the Swinney family. Swinney's admiration for his son's team was evident, as he told The ROAR FM that the loss was "awful."
The atmosphere during the game was dreary, with rain pouring down and the fans gone. Despite this, Swinney couldn't help but say "Go Dogs" just like he does for Clemson's rivals, Georgia. Swinney's passion for football extends beyond his team, as he believes coaches rarely disconnect from the sport and that watching other games is an excellent way to learn and pick up new ideas.
This off week allowed Swinney and his staff to focus on internal improvements and personnel evaluation, giving them an opportunity to prepare for their upcoming game against the Buccaneers.
