ESPN is saying Napier and Freeze are the two leading candidates

He is the Dabo model. Dabo couldn't scheme an offense or defense to save his life. He would be a CEO. Hire the right coordinators and be the recruiting guru. Players matter.
Shane might be another Swinney, but it's clear there's more to being a good HC than recruiting and hiring coordinators.
I'm no Swinney apologist, but the guy is smarter than some want to give credit.
Team culture is paramount.

No one said he was dumb. Hiring the right people and putting them in a position to succeed is a sign of extraordinary leadership. I don't think Dabo would aay he is the best X and Os guy. He knows how to run the corporation though.
 
Plenty have...on this forum and others.

Swinney knows something about being a game day coach....whether people will admit it or not.

Not sure that is teachable....more like a gut instinct. I think he coaches like a fan would and doesn't even look at statistics, percentages, etc.. I doubt whether he has that little NFL card that tells him when to go for 2 pts.
