Who Holds Dabo Swinney Accountable at Clemson? | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Clemson football keeps identifying different problems with its offense. First it was the offensive line, then the quarterbacks, then the receivers. But is the real issue the decisions being made at the top? On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas examines Dabo Swinney's leadership, the size of Clemson's football staff, and whether anyone inside the program is willing to challenge the head coach when his evaluations aren't working. We also revisit the quarterback situation involving Christopher Vizzina and Tait Reynolds. Clemson entered the season with Vizzina as its starter, but after his injury, Reynolds took over. Has Reynolds actually earned separation, or has Clemson simply continued with the quarterback who was available? Plus, Dabo's public criticism of Gideon Davidson has created another debate about accountability. Davidson leads Clemson in rushing, so why has one of the offense's best players seen fewer opportunities? Finally, we look ahead to Clemson's matchup with Florida State and what meaningful improvement would actually look like. Today's topics: Who holds Dabo Swinney accountable?
