Appearing on “Always College Football with Greg McElroy,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney took his national rivals to task over how they go about trying to poach his players...

quote:
“We lead the nation in graduation and retention,” Swinney said. “I’m proud of that. So, we do have a culture. We just had 16 guys go to the NFL. …All 16 of those guys, Clemson, their whole career. 15 of them are graduates. And so that’s culture.

“These kids love this place. … You think our guys are here for free? You don’t think people try to get Peter Woods, and Antonio Williams, and T.J. Parker, and Sammy Brown, and Ashton Hampton, and T.J. Moore?” the Tigers coach asked. You don’t think they try to get our players? Sure, they do.”

“There’s tampering. It’s insane what’s going on in college football. But our kids stay here because we’ve created value in the place, and there’s value in the people who you’re doing life with every day.”

I like his stance on all this. The system today honestly sucks, but it is what it is and while it's okay to rest on your morals, the most important thing to do is WIN.

I never rooted for Clemson and I hope we wreck them week 1, but it's hard not to pull for a guy who stands for loyalty, commitment, and the old college football (4 years ago and beyond).

That dude is just stuck in his ways, but don’t think for a minute he won’t do something to get an edge. Numerous reports of their players juicing throughout the teens till 2020, and Skalski was coked and roided out of his mind in the NC against LSU. Add to that, the sign stealing on defense. This dude’s a snake.

It'd be nice if Kiffin could get kids to stay. I miss the days of having guys play 4 years at LSU, not a completely new roster every year.
