Way to go Tigers!

I am so excited that our Clemson Tigers pulled out a big win yesterday against the South Carolina Gamecocks.  

I'm really proud how these players really rallied around an interim head coach to win 4 out of their last 5 games after Coach Bowden resigned.  They could have chosen to fold, and give up.  Instead they chose to fight, work as hard as they could, and win.  

Thank you Coach Dabo Swinney for taking over a job you didn't ask for.  Not only did you pull a group of kids together that were hurt emotionally and physically halfway into the season, you also led these guys to victory 4 out of 6 times against some very tough teams, including our arch rival.  

I don't give my opinion very often on this blog, but this time I will.  Dabo Swinney has earned the job as head football coach of the Clemson Tigers.  Over the 6 games as a head coach, he has demonstrated his ability to motivate the players (our last coach didn't), he garners respect from the players, and he is a winner.  There are many other reasons why I think Dabo is the right man for the job, but I'm going to leave it at that for now.  

I hope Clemson makes the correct decision to retain Coach Swinney as head coach.
