Is that not good?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, listen, if Clemson\u2019s tired of winning, they can send me on my way. But I\u2019m going to go somewhere else and coach,\u201d Swinney added. \u201cI ain\u2019t going to the beach. Hell, I\u2019m 55. I\u2019ve got a long way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Legendary former Alabama coach and current ESPN college football analyst Nick Saban seemed to throw Swinney under the bus for his comments, in the current transfer portal and NIL era.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDabo needs to look at what he needs to do in his program to make his program continually be successful,\u201d Saban said. \u201cDo you have to change the portal, do you have to change name, image and likeness? The game has changed. You need to change with it, otherwise you\u2019re not going to put yourself in the same position other people are and having a chance to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saban, a seven-time national championship coach who led Alabama to six national titles, added that Swinney \u201ccreated the success\u201d at Clemson \u2014 \u201cvery similar to the way we created a standard and expectation at Alabama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then you\u2019ve got to keep climbing that mountain because people expect you to live up to it,\u201d Saban said. \u201cAnd you\u2019re only as good as your last play. You\u2019re only as good as your last game. When you\u2019re in competition and you\u2019ve got to look at the next challenge as an opportunity to continue to grow and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During Saturday\u2019s edition of ESPN\u2019s College GameDay, the analysts weighed in on Clemson coach Dabo Swinney\u2019s viral rant&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":243495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[19416,19419,7130,19417,62,19418,67,132,68,15613],"class_list":{"0":"post-243494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-clemson-insider-podcast","9":"tag-gymnastics","10":"tag-hero","11":"tag-noonan","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-track-and-field","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-wednesday"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115241433420844333","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
