Dabo Swinney’s ranking just dropped to 11th in CBS Sports’ Power Four coaches list — a big fall from last year’s No. 3 — sparking debate over his reluctance to embrace the transfer portal and Clemson’s 7-6 record. But don’t let the noise fool you: Dabo’s resume is elite — 187 wins, 9 ACC titles, 7 College Football Playoff appearances, and he’s one of only two active coaches with multiple national championships. Critics are already predicting his exit by 2026, but Clemson’s season opener against LSU — led by new coach Lane Kiffin, who ranked higher than Dabo — could silence the doubters.
