A football team is really just a reflection of society. You've got 118, 120 guys on the team, you got a little bit of everything.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Everybody runs, but only one wins first prize. So, run your race in such a way as to win.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Sometimes fans... they want more and more and more, and they think you win a national championship every year. It doesn't work that way.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I just think there is a right way to do things, and I don't think two wrongs make a right.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I'm thankful for the experience and to be able to coach other young people on their journey through college football. It's a privilege.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
When you win by three touchdowns in a state championship and you've got people who can't appreciate that? That's really sad.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I'm a big believer in the student-athlete part. I value the education and what it provides for you. Football is a vocation. Only 1.67 percent of these athletes go on to the NFL. An education provides you an opportunity for a career. A lot of people just don't get that. To say they aren't getting anything is misinformed.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
For me, and I've been on record saying it, let's create two leagues: one for players who want the college football experience, and another for those that want to get paid, have the NFL help fund it, whatever. Guys who don't want to go to school to get an education, let them go to work.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I always tell people, good coaches are a dime a dozen. Good coaches that are good people, good husbands, good fathers, that love their players and are passionate about doing things in a way that I believe is important, that pool gets real small.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
A win is a win, and I've just always felt that way, and I've always been passionate about that.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
When a guy comes unofficially, then he, to me, is sending you a message that, 'You know what? Hey, I'm interested in Clemson.' Now, he may hate it when he gets here. But at least he came on his own. That's just my personal philosophy.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
My vision is for other schools to be like Clemson. My vision is to build a model program.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Everything in life is how you respond to it. If everything went perfect all the time - you never lost a game, you got to the championship every time, you always won, you always got the top recruit, you always made the A - you really wouldn't truly appreciate all that goes into it.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Let's not be miserable when we win. There's definitely people in places that, even when they win, they're not happy. That's sad.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
If my coach told me to go run them bleachers, you didn't ask no questions. I turned around and started running until he said stop.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I love that about college football. I love all the funky matchups. I love the Funky Cold Medina Poulan Weed Eater Bowl. I love all of that. I like the crazy games. There's obviously a market for it because them TVs love to put it on there.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I have an MBA, but my Ph.D. is in people. Everything I do is about relationships.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I was one of those kids who watched the Bear Bryant Show every Sunday, and every time Alabama played, I was listening on the radio. I'd fight you if you talked bad about Alabama.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I ain't never going to apologize for a 21-point win over a state rival, ever.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
All I know is, there's nothing we can't do at Clemson. I don't have to go somewhere else to win at the highest level, to recruit great players, to have great support - I really don't. I'm just really fortunate.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Trust me, people that know me know I ain't perfect, but I do try to live my life in a way that hopefully can be pleasing to my maker because I know I'm going to meet Him one day, and He's not going to pat me on the back and talk about how many wins I had or how many Coach of the Year trophies we got or how much money I made.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I'm a Christian, but I've coached and played with Muslims and all kind of different religions.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
The thing I enjoy the most about being the head coach is that I get to create the climate. I get to control the environment everybody comes to work in every day, and I'm very in tune to the chemistry, the morale of my staff, my support staff, my secretaries, the guy cleaning the building, the players, the walk-ons.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I always told people Alabama was the smartest state because it has four As and a B.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
You may not have any interest in Clemson whatsoever, but if Clemson calls, and they want to pay for you to come, and feed you and put you in a hotel, well, who doesn't want to go do that? Sign me up. Let's go, man.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
My driving force in this business is to create and build great men, and to do that, you have to have great relationships.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
We're all going to experience death and failure and setbacks and disappointments and cancer and, you know, it's a really difficult world. And for me, God has always - in my relationship with Christ - He's given me hope and peace.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I've always really respected Mark Richt. I think he's a great man, first of all, and I think he's a great coach and a guy that truly cares about the players and always has.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
It's the journey to get there. It's that moment in that locker room when you're with a group of people that have gotten it done. There's nothing like it. If you could bottle that up and take that out in the world, you'd dominate.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
My dad was a great man, and I loved him, but he had some demons he fought. It was tough to see some of those things as a kid, but I believe God doesn't save you from things; he saves you through them.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
If you grow up with traditions in your family, it's always nice to be able to get home and have those moments.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I'm not a sympathetic guy when I see people throwing their lives away and using their life's obstacles as excuses to fail. I just don't buy into that.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I think we have a sin problem in the world. It's so easy to say we have a race problem, but we got a sin problem.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
When you get a young group of people that believe, are passionate... and committed to a single purpose, you better look out. Great things can happen.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
I'm always just focused on being great where I'm at and blooming where I'm planted.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
A lot of these things in this world were only a dream for Martin Luther King. Not a one-term, but a two-term African-American president. And this is a terrible country? That was a dream for Martin Luther King.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
There's a lot of good police officers. There's thousands of perfect traffic stops. Lot of good men. Lot of good women. But those don't get the stories.
Quote by -Dabo Swinney
Always remember, the goals that we have achieved pale in comparison to the daily commitments it took to get there.
