During his radio show Monday night, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney fielded a call from Becky of Gaffney, who told Swinney to not let anything including “that Texas oil money” sway him away from Tiger Town to the Texas A&M job vacancy.

“Don’t let a bad year of the fans giving you a hard time sway your decision about Clemson,” Becky said. “You stay with us. I mean Clemson won’t be Clemson if you ever leave us. You got to stay. So, if they come calling — I know they got that Texas oil money and all — but you know what, you can only spend so much, and you just stay right here with us.”

There haven’t been any official reports connecting Swinney to the Texas A&M job, but as a follow-up to Becky’s comments, Swinney was asked during his weekly Tuesday press conference if he has any interest in the A&M job after Jimbo Fisher was fired on Sunday.

“Oh yeah, Becky. She’s a star. She is a star,” Swinney said with a smile. “Man, I’m just focused on this job. Always have been. Just trying to find a way to beat North Carolina. That’s it. Must be November, that’s all I can say.”

Swinney’s Tigers (6-4, 3-4 ACC) return to the field Saturday when they host No. 24 North Carolina (8-2, 4-2). The game at Memorial Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.
