Dabo Swinney Announces Change to His Weekly Radio Show Regarding Phone Calls

Dabo Swinney is making some changes to the format of his weekly radio show in Clemson, South Carolina.

In the past, Swinney has allowed (and even encouraged) fans to call into the show and ask questions about the Tigers, their upcoming schedule, etc. But that is no longer the case. Swinney is now removing live calls from the show and will only be able to submit questions via text/email.

The first show of the season is scheduled for tonight at 8 p.m. ET.

It’s official: Clemson FB coach Dabo Swinney will no longer take live calls from fans on his weekly radio show

The new format is called “Tiger Sports Hour with Dabo Swinney.” Fans will be able to ask him questions via text/email. It premieres tonight at 8 p.m. on @1055TheROAR

Those who are just devastated The blame for this news can at least partly be placed on a certain Tyler from Spartanburg, who infuriated Swinney last season with his criticism following a 4-4 start to the season, including losses to Duke, Florida State, NC State and Miami.

Swinney practically delivered a monologue about his disdain for Tyler’s statements and his attitude toward himself, stating among other things, “you’re not going to talk to me like I’m 12.” Here’s a link to the full audio if you want to refresh your memory:

Tyler from Spartanburg wanted to know why Dabo Swinney was being paid $11 million.

Dabo is gone!

“I worked like crazy…

You are part of the problem. If you want to apply for this job, go for it…

You’re not going to talk to me like I’m 12.

It’s a glorious 5 minutes. pic.twitter.com/pdHxoRNCOg

Clemson is back in the race for the ACC this season alongside Miami and, well, maybe Florida State? The Seminoles were supposed to be major players for the ACC this season before losing to Georgia Tech in Week 0.
