” I have not heard from Deshaun and that is not even anything that I want to even have to believe about,” Swinney said, before snickering, via the Houston Chronicle. “You would be the one to ask that question out of all the questions.
Whether the Swinney-Houston connection becomes anything more than speculative fodder stays to be seen, and were a long way off from Houston choosing its next full-time coach. It would make good sense if the Texans at least examined to see if the champion coach has any interest in reuniting with Watson, even if the ultimate response is no.
For every coach, the most crucial position in football is the quarterback. To convince an effective college coach to leave for the NFL, stability at that position would be necessary.
Swinney has a cushy gig at Clemson, where he built a perennial powerhouse and reportedly earns more than $9 million per year with the highest level of job security a coach can ask.
During a Tuesday teleconference before his No. 1 ranked Tigers handle No. 7 Miami, South Carolina sports radio host Phil Kornblut asked if Swinney had actually spoken with Watson.
Convincing Swinney to leave Clemson would be a hard proposition unless he gets an itch to prove he can be simply as effective at the next level.
Let the speculation begin.
With an NFL head coaching job currently open simply four weeks into the season, the rumor mill has months to churn. Among the prospects spit concerning the Houston Texans task is Clemson coach Dabo Swinney.
The dot-connecting of Swinney to Houston is obvious: Deshaun Watson.
” I have not heard from Deshaun and that is not even anything that I want to even have to think about,” Swinney stated, before snickering, through the Houston Chronicle. For every coach, the most important position in football is the quarterback. To convince an effective college coach to leave for the NFL, stability at that position would be necessary.
If the national champion coach is going to leave Clemson for the NFL, it would make sense to head to where one of his star students is under contract for the long haul.
