Dabo Swinney has built the Clemson football program from the ground up. Even SEC friendly websites are starting to take notice of what has happened.

It’s certainly a crazy day when an SEC website credits Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney, but that’s exactly what happened on Saturday Down South.

Saturday Down South, one of the most SEC friendly sites on the web, published an article titled ‘You don’t have to like it or agree with it, but Dabo Swinney is the best college football coach in America.”

What an absolutely shocking title coming from a website that has constantly discredited Clemson football over the last few seasons.

As a matter of fact, Saturday Down South was at the forefront of running articles pushing the narrative that Bama’s tough SEC schedule was the reason that the Tigers defeated the Tide in the 2018 National Championship game.

All things considered, this may be one of the first times that we agree with Saturday Down South. Chris Wright, the author of the piece, talks about the fact that Nick Saban is still a great coach and may be the best ever in CFB history, but that Swinney now rules the sport.  He was impressed with what Swinney has been able to accomplish, despite the fact that the Tigers haven’t had all the 5-stars that Alabama has consistently brought in.

Really, any person without bias can see that what Dabo Swinney is doing with the Clemson football program is special.

He has developed into the best coach in college football. I would venture to say that if someone was starting a CFB program today and could pick any coach to build it, 9-out-of-10 would pick Dabo Swinney.

Praising Swinney does not discredit Saban, either. Nick Saban has had continued success for a long period of time and is still coaching at a high level. Both of these guys are on a different platform compared to the rest of the nation. It’s fun to watch, but for now in the scope of 2019 and an eye on the future, the CFB world belongs to Dabo Swinney.
