Dabo Swinney Facing Bigger Questions At Clemson Despite Comeback Win

Clemson rallied from a 17-6 halftime deficit to beat North Carolina 28-20, paced by sophomore RB Gideon Davidson’s season-high 105 rushing yards.
FOX analysts say Dabo Swinney has been slow to adapt to the transfer portal, NIL spending and hiring transfer QBs — and with $55M owed on his contract, they don’t expect a quick change.
The program has slipped (7-6 in 2025, just one CFP trip since 2020) and now faces tough tests at Cal next week and a home date with No. 5 Miami.
