Dabo Swinney Responds To The Latest LSU Coaching Search Speculation

by Staff Reporter

October 19, 202135 Comments

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney spoke with reporters Tuesday and shot down any speculation about him being a candidate for the LSU job. Per ESPN:

quote:
"This is the only Death Valley I'm concerned with right here," Swinney said, referring to the stadiums in Clemson and Baton Rouge, which are both nicknamed "Death Valley."

Swinney has been speculated to be a possible candidate to replace Ed Orgeron since LSU agreed to part ways with its coach after this season -- just two years after winning the national title.

"I don't know the situation [with Orgeron at LSU]," Swinney said when asked about the pressure to win immediately and consistently, "but I do know some of the greatest coaches we've ever had weren't good early or maybe the consistency wasn't there. It's a tough business."

So are we gonna see the response from every college football coach out there?

I honestly don’t mind. Each reach out is an implicit and public statement cementing that people regard LSU as a step up to their present position.

@Volvagia I'm sure you meant a step up 'from' their present position?

"honestly don’t mind. Each reach out is an implicit and public statement cementing that people regard LSU as a step up to their present position."

They all say the same thing. Just like Saban did when he came here, went to the NFL, and when he went to Bama. Just like Jumbo did when he went to A&M, and so on and so on....

I would be very underwhelmed with a Dabo hire.

Ragin Tiger1•55 months

Sorry about the double post.

Randman•55 months

Are we gonna be seeing this pointless, speculative shite for the rest of the season? These coaches aren’t going to publicly express their interest one way or another in the middle of the football season. Make it stop.

CeasarA291•55 months

Yep. It's going to keep getting more and more ridiculous over the next 2 months.

Grievous Angel•55 months

I've said all along there's no way Dabo comes to Bama. So he damn sure ain't coming to LSU. He's built something at Clemson, has an easier path there, and has a lot of good will.

Neaux Dabeaux!!!

mcpotiger•55 months

Good! Stay at Clempson

Dabo or not, LSU has lost some good potential candidates in the past because certain people in the media couldn't keep their mouth shut. Just keep talking about Mel Tucker until Scott lets us know something.

lsufan79•55 months

Frick Mel Tucker. Unproven as they come.

Jenar Boy•55 months

Do not want

RockChalkTiger•55 months

Nobody wants Dabo. Not even Clemson anymore!

Ragin Tiger1•55 months

I would be very underwhelmed with a Dabo hire.

RazzleDazzle•55 months

He looks like a Pez dispenser

Hampton•55 months

That doesn't really sound like a definite statement from dabo

Godfather1•55 months

Knowing what a phony Dabo is, that means he’s very interested in the LSU job.

Such a smoke screen

Ruebacca•55 months

Woodward has made some really smart hires for baseball and ladies basketball already and they were hires nobody had reported until it was done. I expect this will be something like that although I'm sure you will have heard the coach he chooses being at least mentioned along the way because the media has at least mentioned almost every possibility. We'll see, but I have faith in him.

Brian Kelly and he’s bringing the DC that didn’t wanna work for O with him

Doug Masters•55 months

Not Brian Kelly

Mobiletiger•55 months

they all want pay raises.

lsuson•55 months

No. Stay at Clemson. Smaller stadium. Thanks

That pic confirms that O's hat size is twice that of Dabo's.

What’s he suppose to say?
