8 Most Overrated Coaches - Some New Hires in This Group and Dabo Is No.1

[PrestonyteParrot]

This is a common theme I've seen repeated among those writing about Dabo.

''Dabo Swinney still gets talked about like the clear No. 2 coach of his era behind Nick Saban, but the gap between who he was and who he is has grown wider every season since Trevor Lawrence left campus after the 2020 campaign. Clemson has slipped from College Football Playoff regular to a program that spends more time explaining what went wrong than planning its next postseason trip.''

8 most overrated head coaches in college football as 2026 season approaches

Every summer, the lists of college football's top coaches roll out. Fan bases whose coaches are not mentioned talk themselves into another year of the same guy fixing the same problems he has not fixed in previous years. Some of these coaches are good. Some are solid. A few are hanging onto...

I want Dabo to do just enough to stay for a long time. CUs next coach will probably use the portal

It is apparent that he clung to the "old model" for far too long. And he can keep doing that.

clemson had seven home last season and lost four of them. Duke scores 46 points at clemson and Syracuse beat clemson by 13 points. I am sure the ugliness showed up after they lost these games.

I wonder if any clemson fans are questioning the clemson coach in bring back Chad Morris. I guess Chad Morris had exceptional stats and numbers the first time around at clemson, but when faced against a good quality team those numbers were not great.

I guess if clemson ends up not going to ACC championship game and not making CFP clemson fans will be more vocal about a change in coaching.

Whatever. He's won more championships than us.

If someone had told me in 1975 when, as a student, I watched us dismantle Clemson 56-20, that Clemson had the potential to win 3 national championships within the next 50 years, I would have laughed.

 

[MathTeacher2011]

And we still can’t beat Clemson on a consistence basis. He still out recruits us.

 

[Pinkgimp]

Whatever, I’ll take a few national championships to have my coach called overrated.

 

[RL09]

Whatever. He's won more championships than us.

As a Gamecock fan, I agree, like it or not, Clemson has been to the top of college football, not once, but twice under Dabo Sweeney. Not to mention they also appeared in the playoffs in multiple seasons. By the way, who gives a crap what Paul Finebuam thinks, not me.

Dabo got his 2 national championships while Muschamp was here. Instead of going out to hire a young, proven winner to build on Spurrier's success, we rolled the dice on a proven loser. Only at South Carolina. Will we ever learn? smh
