CLEMSON — Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney had a fiery press conference on Tuesday, and during the presser, he lamented the criticism surrounding his program, saying he’ll “go somewhere else and coach” if Clemson is tired of winning.

“If they want me gone, they’re tired of winning, they can send me on my way, because that’s all we’ve done is win,” Swinney said. “We’ve won this league eight out of the last 10 years. Is that not good? I’m just asking. Is that good? I don’t know if that’s good or not, to win your league eight out of 10 years, to go to the playoffs seven out of 10 years, be in four national championships, win it twice. Yeah, we’re a little down right now. Take your shots. But I got a long memory, in case y’all don’t know. We’ll be alright. We’ll bounce back.

“Hey, listen, if Clemson’s tired of winning, they can send me on my way. But I’m going to go somewhere else and coach. I ain’t going to the beach. Hell, I’m 55. I’ve got a long way to go. Y’all gonna have to deal with me for a while. I’ve got a long way to go. I’m just getting going. I’m just now good enough to be a head coach.”

Swinney’s comments have since gone viral and gotten a ton of attention by the national media.

Swinney met with the local media following Wednesday’s practice and was asked if he has had a conversation with Clemson athletic director Graham Neff or president Jim Clements about his comments on Tuesday.

“I didn’t talk to nobody,” Swinney said. “I have no idea if it went viral. I don’t pay attention to any of that stuff. I don’t have a clue. I just come in here and do what I’m supposed to do, and y’all create whatever headlines you want from there. But I’m just focused on trying to get ready to play Syracuse.”

Swinney’s team is getting set to face Syracuse at Memorial Stadium on Saturday (noon, ESPN).
