Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says college football is a “bloodsport” right now with all the coach firings.

During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Swinney was asked about the state of college football and coaches getting fired.

Numerous FBS coaches have been fired since Week 1, including Brent Pry (Virginia Tech), DeShaun Foster (UCLA), Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State), Sam Pittman (Arkansas), Trent Bray (Oregon State), James Franklin (Penn State), Trent Dilfer (UAB), Billy Napier (Florida), Jay Norvell (Colorado State) and Brian Kelly (LSU).

“It’s a season of chaos, that’s for sure,” Swinney said. “It’s the world we live in. It’s crazy. It’s a crazy profession we signed up for. It’s hard. You have a lot of really good football coaches that have won a lot of games, but they’re getting fired because they haven’t really won championships. And then you have others, people want you fired, even though you’ve won some championships.

“So, it’s kind of a crazy world, but it’s the world we live in. It’s like a bloodsport. People love to see people get fired, I guess. There’s a part of society that likes to see that stuff. But it just is what it is. It’s what we signed up for. It’s all about the playoff and all that type of stuff, and you’ve got to find a way to win. You don’t get much time anymore.”

As for Swinney personally, Clemson’s longtime head man says he wouldn’t worry about his job security, even with another off year next year.

“I don’t worry about anything,” said Swinney, whose Tigers currently sit at 3-4 overall and 2-3 in ACC play. “I give everything to the good Lord. … The good Lord orders my steps. … When I got fired at Alabama, I knew God had a plan then. Nothing has changed. I don’t worry about things I don’t control. I just do my best every day. I try to live my life in a way that hopefully I can serve other people, help people. I love coaching, I love teaching, but I don’t sit around and worry about stuff that I have no control over. I just do my best each and every day.”

Swinney pointed out how “patient” Clemson is and how “Clemson people” have been patient with him over the course of his head coaching career.

“Clemson people are very loyal, committed people. Very patient,” Swinney said. “They were patient with me. We won nine my first year and went to the championship, but we won six my second year. We lost five in a row to the Gamecocks, and they were patient with me. So, absolutely. They’ve been very patient. It hasn’t always been perfect here. … Clemson people are incredibly patient.”

Swinney also commented on people who want him fired, whoever they may be.

“I’m sure there’s a lot of them out there,” Swinney said. “That’s just the way of the world for everybody, every coach – not just me. That’s every coach out there. … We have a world now that is loud. It’s really loud if you listen to it, but I don’t participate in that.”

Swinney’s team will return to the field and try to get back to .500 on Saturday when the Tigers host Duke at Memorial Stadium (12 p.m., ACC Network).
