Dabo Swinney on Clemson’s Reset, Chad Morris Return & College Football’s New Era

Sports Illustrated staff writer Bryan Fischer sits down with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney at ACC Media Days in Charlotte in July 2026. Swinney discusses how Clemson responded after a disappointing 2025 season, why bringing Chad Morris back as offensive coordinator made sense, and how the Tigers are rebuilding their offense for 2026. He also shares his thoughts on player development, new eligibility rules, revenue sharing, tampering, Clemson's roster retention, and several young playmakers who could emerge this season.
