Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney has received backlash from the fanbase lately. Clemson lost to the Louisville Cardinals 33-21 over the weekend. The Tigers have now lost twice this season.
The odds of them making the college football playoffs don’t appear to be good. They could still make it as long as they win the ACC Conference.
Clemson Tigers Head Coach Dabo Swinney Talks To Media On Tuesday About Election Day
On Tuesday, Swinney went to vote at the polls on Election Day just like any other American person. However, he revealed during his press conference that he initially wasn’t allowed to vote when visiting his local polling place. He said:
“They done voted me out of the state. We’re 6-2 and 5-1, man. They done shipped me off.”
Grant Grubbs of on3sports.com added:
“Swinney said the poll workers claimed that the system indicated he’d already voted. In reality, the system was mistaking Dabo — whose legal first name is William — for his son with the same name, who had voted last week. Swinney ultimately completed a paper ballot and will have a hearing on Friday to resolve the issue. The 54-year-old head coach had a sense of humor about the unusual ordeal.”
Dabo Swinney also added to those comments:
“Will, my oldest, voted last week, and they somehow messed it up, didn’t verify his birthday or something, and they counted me as the vote. So, what was going to take 10 minutes, took an hour. Next thing, I’m on the phone with some director, I think her name was Amy, super sweet lady, and she’s trying to tell me this whole process. It was quite an experience this morning, but apparently they’re gonna fix it on Friday, and me and Will, our two votes will count on Friday. I don’t know if it’ll matter on Friday, but yeah. It was trying to do my best and be a good citizen and go vote. Sometimes doing your best, ain’t good enough. Going to keep figuring it out.”
This is kind of interesting what happened to Dabo Swinney. There have been other crazy Election Day stories in the past.

I heard his vote was somewhere in the transfer portal

Dabo is running the perfect scam. Winning requires more work than he used to do. So, instead of doing the work, like literally every other coach in the country, he’s just coasting, knowing the worst thing that can happen to him is the school will have to pay him millions to leave

The deep state is conspiring against Dabo!

The fans had some funny comments about the Clemson Tigers head coach. What Dabo Swinney is focused on is getting his team ready for the matchup against the Virginia Tech Hokies who are 5-4 this year, while Clemson is 6-2 also.
