CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Swinney reacted to the latest low point in Clemson’s season, acknowledging that any turnaround would have to come from within.
Key points
- Swinney is owed $60 million beginning in 2027, but a declining buyout schedule would lower Clemson’s obligation to $57 million if he is fired this fall.
- You don't win the line of scrimmage, you don't deserve to win; they did, give them credit." Swinney’s 7-6 finish in 2025, his worst since 2010, raised questions about his future with the program.
- Georgia Tech coach Brent Key overhauled his staff this week, firing multiple assistants amid a four-game losing streak.
"It's difficult, but ain't nobody coming to save us, nobody cares, we've got to find a way to get it done," Swinney said.

Additional details

- A season-opening blowout loss at LSU further intensified scrutiny of his future and renewed attention on the $57 million buyout he would receive if fired this season.
- "It's frustrating; we've not played well (at home) coming off two really good wins," Swinney continued.
- His contract does not include a mitigation clause, meaning if he lands another coaching job, Clemson would not get a discount on the amount the school owes him.
- The Yellow Jackets responded Saturday, ending their losing streak with an upset road win over Clemson.
