Dabo Quote in Bart Wright's article:
"If we get past all this stuff about being one win away, one play away, one kick away, one (official's) call away and ad nauseam, we can do this," he said. "The past is a bucket of ashes; we have to live up to a new standard of excellence we haven't seen around here in a while." "There's one boss -- me, that's it," Swinney said. "Sometimes you have to be firm and stern, and I will do that. If we aren't successful here, it won't be because we did it somebody else's way, I can assure you that."
He knows what Bowden's weaknesses were and is completely trying to change the culture. I don't care if you think he was a great or terrible hire, but the man takes a stand. If this thing fails, he isn't gonna have Mike O'Cain, Brad Scott, or Rob Spence to blame. I hope this guy is successful.

He has the "Thank you Clemson for giving me this opportunity" approach as opposed to the "Clemson, you're lucky to have me" approach.
