Dabo Swinney
Head coach at Clemson. Multiple national championships. In year ~18 of his tenure, facing questions about offensive identity and fitting into the modern era of college football. Buyout reported around $50M, making a firing extremely unlikely absent a true disaster (5-7 or worse). Brought Chad Morris back as OC for a second tour of duty after Garrett Riley didn't work out.
