Swinney has become a polarizing figure, and most Ohio State fans fall on the side of not liking him. The message and culture he conveys is hard to fault, but he comes off as being too smug to Buckeye Nation. Of course it doesn’t help that he’s elevated Clemson to one of the best programs in the country, but many feel he got away with one in the desert this last year, and his comments after the game about knowing his team would win didn’t come off very well. There’s a perception that he thinks the way he does things is better than everywhere else, and that doesn’t sit well on the banks of the Olentangy.
