Clemson coach Dabo Swinney doesn't typically get a lot of attention for his sartorial choices, but his outfit at Tuesday's Cheez-It Bowl press conference is something to behold.
Both Swinney and Iowa State coach Matt Campbell went for comfort, with their teams facing off in Orlando in just over 24 hours.
The coaches showed up to the event in full monochromatic jumpsuits. Alone, Campbell's black outfit wouldn't draw too much attention. It's hard to deny that Swinney looks like an extra in a show or movie set in a jail though.
Swinney's never afraid to speak his mind about issues facing college football, including hot button topics like NIL and the transfer portal. In 2019, he went so far as to say he'd leave college coaching if players are paid. That obviously didn't take hold with NIL becoming a reality in 2021, but statements like it put a target on Swinney's back when something goofy like this outfit pops up.
