Paul Finebaum speaks about Dabo Swinney's future

Over the last week, Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney has come under fire for comments he made about the transfer portal and Paul Finebaum of ESPN spoke about his future in charge of the Tigers.

"People that graduated from Clemson, people that are Clemson fans, they don’t think Dabo Swinney is going to be there a long time. When I say long time, I mean 3 to 5 years. I think his time is nearly up."

Who knows what the future holds for Swinney at Clemson and Virginia Tech will host the Tigers this season in November in what could be a big game on Nov. 9.
