Dabo Swinney: ‘It’s over.’ He could be talking about his Clemson career | Opinion

BATON ROUGE, LA – The beatdown complete, the only thing left to do was decide what to make of it. Lane Kiffin advised caution, almost as if to say: Hey, guys, this was nice, but it was only Clemson.

“We’ve got bigger tests that are going to come up,” LSU’s coach said after his team routed Clemson, 51-10.

In an epic diss, Kiffin told ABC his scout team scored as many points on LSU as Clemson did.

“It was about the same score,” Kiffin said.

Holy smokes. Coming in hot, a missile, to incinerate Dabo Swinney’s career!

Kiffin described Clemson’s offense to ESPN as “dysfunctional.” That was putting it kindly. Pitiful fits, too.

This is what it’s come to for little ol’ Clemson. Swinney filled his roster with a bunch of nobodies. The squad compares to an SEC scout team.

"The best thing about that one," Swinney said, "is that it's over."

He’s talking about the game, but what about his career? How many more humiliations must Clemson endure before somebody in power admits: This is over. So, how to execute a offramp?

Swinney, 56, is not the type to grab a Tom Clancy novel and a Tommy Bahama chair…
