Swinney will be on short leash at Clemson

Swinney will be on short leash at Clemson

Five things the Dabo Swinney hire tells us about Clemson:

1. Clemson looks a whole lot like West Virginia right now. The Mountaineers got caught up in the emotion and hired an assistant who steered a talented team to a Fiesta Bowl triumph. This Clemson squad is loaded with talent, and on talent alone, should’ve won four of six games to finish the season.
That doesn’t mean Swinney’s first full year will look like Stewart’s — he better hope not — but he’ll have a much shorter leash than Stewart, who is connected to WVU for the long haul.
