Dan Patrick was not a fan of Dabo Swinney’s latest comments about Notre Dame football.

Dan Patrick pushed back this week on comments from Dabo Swinney about Notre Dame and the advantages some of college football’s biggest brands have financially. During an interview with Greg McElroy, Swinney talked about Clemson continuing to carry a chip on its shoulder despite competing against programs with larger alumni bases and more resources. “We don’t have the alumni base that some places have,” Swinney said.
