Buccaneers: 3 dream replacements for Bruce Arians following his departue

2. Dabo Swinney

Keep in mind we’re talking about ‘dream hires’ and this one should be about as far up the ladder as you can get.

I understand that many wouldn’t like a Dabo Swinney hire, but the truth of the matter is that he has built a Clemson football program- which had basically been nothing since the 1980s- and has turned it into a powerhouse.

He can coach much better than anyone gives him credit for and he simply just finds a way to have success. The breath of fresh air and enthusiasm that he would bring to this franchise would be contagious and there’s no doubt this would be a great hire.

The only question is if Swinney would ever leave Clemson to come to the NFL. Perhaps, if he won a couple more National Championships, he’d be more inclined to chase after another challenge and climb another mountain.
