[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 810954, member: 2175"] I follow Clemson a bit and admit Swinney fascinates me. Someone who knows him well and has for years swears he could run Fortune 500 company, and might yet. It is hard to define a "players' coach" but he is driven and drives his players and coaches. "All in" means something at Clemson and those who aren't won't be around long. That few players leave says a lot. (And if you have seen one of his apocalyptic sideline eruptions, a player trying to walk away and Swinney following him down the sideline, wow.) Except there is this: when Swinney is done, it is over, and put behind him. That is an almost unique attribute among football coaches. Nor does he delegate cracking the whip. There was a memorable explosion when a fist fight broke out during a pre-season scrimmage and Swinney immediately put the entire roster through a brutal series of exhausting drills and at the end, saying he blamed the coaches too ... made the coaches run. That he can do that and keep their loyalty puzzles me, but he clearly is a much more complex guy than the good-old-boy who goes about mangling the English. [/QUOTE]
