Now that Bill O’Brien has been fired as head coach of the Houston Texans, the speculation has begun on who will replace him. One of the candidates that has been heavily rumored to taking the job is Clemson coach Dabo Swinney.
The dot-connecting of Swinney to Houston is obviously Texans QB Deshaun Watson.
During a Tuesday conference call before his No. 1 ranked Tigers take on No. 7 Miami — Swinney was asked if he had heard from Watson.
“I have not heard from Deshaun and that is not even anything that I want to even have to think about,” Swinney said, before snickering, via the Houston Chronicle. “You would be the one to ask that question out of all the questions. You don’t want to ask anything about Miami? Next question.”
Swinney earns more than $9 million per year with the highest level of job security a coach can ask and trying to convince him to leave for a franchise that is trending downwards would be a hard sell.
