David Hale’s summation on Coach Swinney

He’s tough, but not unfair. I think this is a decent overview of how the last season or two has gone and what this move means.
What does this say about where Swinney thinks the program is?
It's hard to know exactly what Swinney's mindset is. He bristled at even the slightest criticisms last offseason when outsiders suggested his promotion of two in-house candidates to playcaller jobs -- Streeter and Wes Goodwin -- might've been too myopic. He spent nearly all of 2022 praising Uiagalelei, too, even lambasting the media for doubting the QB -- then benched Uiagalelei three times during the season and admitted, after the ACC championship game, he'd been hoping Klubnik would take over for weeks. Now he's finally backtracked on his insistence that Streeter was the right man for the OC job, and he's gone out to land as big a fish as there is in the coordinator ranks. Perhaps the real takeaway here is Swinney has a formula he believes in, but he's also smart enough to know when something isn't working. What remains to be seen, however, is whether this is the last of the staff changes and, perhaps more importantly, if he shifts his perspective on the transfer portal to address some roster limitations, too. -- Hale

reason that most of his players would run through a brick wall for him.

Dabo is not going to be critical of his players or assistant coaches, or throw them under the bus. He's just not going to do it. Nothing to be gained from that.

At times this year, he was very critical publicly of the defense and that staff. Yet constantly deflected blame from the offense when it was obvious, that was the more critical issue. He’s never gonna criticize them because he was up to his eyeballs in play calling and strategy.. pretty tough to be the head coach and criticize yourself openly in public.
Actually, I have a lot a hope in this regard because I don’t think a guy like Riley takes the job without getting an assurance from Dabo that he’s not gonna mettle and stay out of Riley‘s way.

I've said this before but a good leader praises in public and punishes in private. I think this pretty much sums up Dabo and how he operates.

Hale could’ve stopped his thoughts after he penned his first one, “it’s hard to know exactly what Swinney’s mindset is.”
Ding, ding, ding.
