Is time running out on Dabo Swinney at Clemson?

CHARLOTTE — The humbling that Clemson endured last season should have landed on Dabo Swinney like a revelation. Instead, he showed up to the ACC football media kickoff and tried to explain it like a bad hair day.

"We've had 15 winning seasons, 13 (of) 10-plus wins, 14 nine-plus and we won 11 championships in the past 15 years," Swinney said. "And then you have a season like last year and that's kind of what everyone wants to focus on."
