College football analyst expects a 'big year' for Clemson in 2025
Former ESPN college football analyst David Pollack has been open about his expectations for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers heading into the 2025 season. The 2024 ACC Champions took down SMU to earn the title and an automatic bid to the 2024 College Football Playoff, where the Tigers fell 38-24 to Texas in the first round. It was a solid run to the playoff for a Clemson team that had mixed expectations heading into the season. While the loss wasn't the result the Tigers were looking for, but a return to the CFP was something that fans were desperate for. Recently, Pollack discussed which coaches have the most to gain in the 2025 season during an episode of the David Pollack College Football show. One of the names who arose was Swinney, as Pollack has high expectations for the Tigers next season. Dabo Swinney adds another massive veteran addition to Clemson's staff — Clemson Wire (@Clemson_Wire) February 11, 2025 Dabo, obviously there for a different reason. But I think Dabo's lost the luster, and people now question whether he is that guy. Dabo has two championships. Kirby has two. That's the list of active coaches that have two. Like, they are in a league of their own. Not wanting to adapt to the portal, but adapted to the portal a little bit. Not having a QB, finally got his QB. Not having receivers for a little while, finally got the receivers. I think that this year is going to be a big year for Clemson. For years, Swinney has been one of, if not the top head coach in college football. Entering year 18, Swinney has the most doubters he's had since he became the Tigers' head coach. He has another opportunity to prove himself in 2025 with a roster that is built to compete for a championship. Pollack's expectations are valid; Clemson should be a force in 2025.
