    Clemson lost brutally to Georgia on Saturday, 34-3, and Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney was dragged all over every sports talk show on Monday morning.

    ESPN was having a day ripping on the 54-year-old head coach, and Paul Finebaum said Swinney is done at Clemson. 

    Since 2021, Swinney has faced harsh criticism, especially this offseason when he refused to go into the portal and take a player.

    The two-time national champion head coach has failed to adapt in every way in the new era of college football, and if he keeps it up, he will be done with the Tigers.

    When almost every national media person called for Swinney’s job on Monday, one former Ohio State wide receiver didn’t share the same thoughts.

    Joey Galloway Isn’t Ready To Dig Swinney’s Grave At Clemson Just Yet

    Joey Galloway was on ESPN’s morning show Get Up on Monday, and after Finebaum declared Swinney done at Clemson, Galloway took to the head coach’s defense and stated,” Finebaum is ready to dig a grave; I don’t think we give Dabo the respect he deserves there are two coaches who are coaching that have two national championships, and we make it sound like Dabo has been terrible for years that those two national championship wasn’t that long ago? Can we act like this guy is one of the greats because he is?”

    It’s safe to say that Galloway isn’t a fan of the Swinney hate, but the former wide receiver states that Swinney’s actions five years ago made him one of the best coaches in the sport.

    The issue with Swinney is that he still thinks he’s coaching in 2018 when the transfer portal wasn’t that big, and NIL wasn’t a thing. Flash forward to 2024, and both those things are big deals that Dabo just doesn’t like and wants no part of.

    Until Swinney starts adjusting to the new age of the sport, he won’t win any big-time games, and it will be irrelevant to keep mentioning that he’s a two-time national champion-winning head coach.
