Clemson’s head coach, Dabo Swinney, has been under much criticism the past year, and after he and the team have failed to make the playoffs for three straight seasons, Tiger fans are going after the two-time winning national champion head coach.
Last season on Dabo Swinney’s radio show, a fan named Tyler from Spartanburg called in after Clemson started the season with a 4-4 record and didn’t have nice words for the 54-year-old head coach.

The exchange between Swinney and Tyler was heard all over the college football world. Swinney went on to win the next five games after the fan called in to pick on him and finished with a record of 9-4.
Tyler in Spartanburg will not be heard from this season on the radio because news broke on Monday, and Swinney will be changing his radio show format.
Swinney Changes Radio Show

Clearly, Swinney was not happy with his interaction with Tyler in Spartanburg and wanted to change the show format.

It’s probably better for crazy fans not to call in the middle of game week and attack their favorite team’s head coach.
Swinney needs to focus on winning football games this season, making the college football playoffs, and not worrying about fans making fun of him.
