coach Dabo Swinney lambasted a caller to his radio show Monday after being asked to defend his team's performance given his status as one of the highest-paid coaches in the country.
In a radio show appearance two weeks ago, Swinney lamented the Clemson"bandwagon" fans and suggested that a few losses might help get rid of bad fans who have lost an appreciation for winning. The Tigers then lost in overtime to Miami and, last week, by a touchdown to NC State.Swinney went on Monday to defend his salary, noting that upon his hiring in 2009, he was among the lowest-paid coaches at a major program.
The 2023 season is the third straight, however, that has failed to live up to high expectations among fans, with losses to Duke, Florida State, Miami and NC State -- the team's first four-loss ACC season since 2010 -- and a difficult game against Notre Dame on tap for Saturday.
