Dabo Swinney faces mounting pressure after Clemson's 3-5 start, with SEC analyst Paul Feinbaum calling for the head coach to leave. Should the Tigers move on from their two-time national champion, or does Dabo deserve the chance to fix what he built?Morgan Thomas breaks down why Clemson's $60 million buyout makes firing unrealistic, analyzes failed hires like Garrett Riley and Tom Allen, and examines the Tigers' resistance to transfer portal modernization.

Key insights include original transfer portal data analysis revealing Clemson's fatal mistake of taking only 3-5 players annually instead of the optimal 10-15, plus what specific changes Dabo must make at quarterback, offensive line, and in his overall team-building approach.Can Dabo Swinney evolve into the modern NIL and transfer portal era, or will his loyalty-first philosophy doom Clemson to mediocrity? 0:00 Intro2:04 Paul Feinbaum calls for Dabo's exit5:39 Dabo's flashy hires haven't worked out8:17 The buyout problem and financial reality11:21 Clemson losing its identity and culture14:26 Transfer portal data reveals critical gaps17:37 Fan base reaching its boiling point20:17 Should Dabo stay, go, or grow?24:27 Adaptability must become a core value27:29 The 2026 Dabo Swinney question Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashWith DoorDash Streaks, you save every Saturday you order — stack it up all season and you could save up to $250.
