CBR Exclusive: Clemson gives Dabo 8 year contract, is it too much?

Ryan Miller

The average length of a first marriage in the United States is about eight years. Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson for six years and the school has just locked him up for another eight with a contract extension. Despite not having hired Dabo, the marriage between Dabo and Clemson AD Dan Radakovich is a strong one.

Swinney started out his career at Clemson as interim coach in 2008 and had a up and down first two and a half years. During that stretch, the Tigers went 19-15 overall and 13-8 in the ACC. In his last three years, Dabo has hit his stride with his Tigers going 32-8 and 19-4 in the ACC.

With consecutive bowl wins in the Chick-fil-A and Orange Bowl, the Tigers look like they are pointed in the right direction as Dabo has consistent leadership on both sides of the football with Chad Morris on offense and Brent Venables on defense.
