Dabo Swinney Facing Bigger Questions At Clemson Despite Comeback Win

Clemson rallied from a 17-6 halftime deficit to beat North Carolina 28-20, keyed by Gideon Davidson’s 105 rushing yards.
TV analysts say Dabo Swinney is being criticized for resisting the transfer portal, under-investing in NIL, and not pursuing proven transfer quarterbacks.
Despite fan frustration and declining results (7-6 in 2025, just one CFP trip since 2020), Swinney’s $55M deal makes his job security a major talking point.
