Paul Finebaum has made some strong comments about the Clemson Tigers over the past several months, and that continued on Monday during his radio show.

Finebaum was comparing Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney ahead of this weekend’s matchup between the Tigers and Aggies. In a segment where he was discussing who was the better coach between the two national championship-winning coaches, Finebaum stated. 

“With all due respect, he’s a better coach than Dabo Swinney. Dabo may have a great staff, but I’ll take Jimbo any day in a runoff and can he pull some magic out? He’s going to need help to win this game. If I’m sitting there at any school, and I have the choice between Jimbo and Dabo, (it’s) not even close.”

During the segment, the two other hosts are almost flabbergasted at the statements being made by the SEC Network’s biggest mouthpiece.

One thing has become clear. No matter how absurd the comments might be, Finebaum is happy to see them noticed.

The Tigers and Aggies face off Saturday afternoon at 3:30 in Death Valley.

I'm tired of this nonsense. Yes, Swinney has a great staff around him, but why is that considered a bad thing. If Fisher was the better coach, he would have still be cruising at FSU.

I understand ratings etc. but this stuff drives me nuts.

If I was hiring a coordinator... maybe Jimbo. But if I'm hiring a head coach. It's a no brainer. DABO!

Jimbo took a national power and got a NC in his first year. He ended at the National power with 6-6

Dabo inherited a 6-6 team and made 4 straight playoffs with 2 NC.

Wow Paul, you're so edgy....

It's not even close. Dabo is clearly one of the Top 2 coaches and college football and given his age is probably over the long haul the top guy. Jimbo has dipped....still inside the Top 10 for sure, but not ahead of Swinney. Especially not the way Finebaum says.
