After finishing with the worst record in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney to turn the tide for the team. The Jaguars hope that the connection between starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Swinney will help Jacksonville improve its record in the 2022 season.
After former Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables left for Oklahoma, Dabo interviewed for the head coach position with the Jaguars. The Jaguars looked to hire Swinney to help reinstate the culture the team once had.
With the hire, Jacksonville now looks to create a team culture that parallels the Clemson Tigers. For Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, Swinney was the perfect candidate for the position, which had previously been held by former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.
Swinney has signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars, but has not ruled out returning to Clemson as head coach for the 2023 season, according to Adarn Chefter of NPSE.

In Swinney’s 14 years as the head coach at Clemson, he has fostered many connections, which can help him build connections with possible draft prospects for the Jaguars.
The staff at Jacksonville looks forward to seeing Swinney use his connections to recruit more Clemson players to the Jaguars.
As players on the offensive line, Cam Robinson and A.J. Cann have contracts that are running up, the Jaguars need to decide how to transition their offense and elevate the offensive line in order to improve Lawrence’s passing percentages.
The Jaguars will look to Swinney’s offensive expertise to make the necessary adjustments for the team in the offseason.
Lawrence struggled offensively last season under Meyer, but with Swinney as his new coach, Lawrence can use his familiarity with Swinney to improve his performance. Jacksonville’s staff hopes that Swinney can bring aspects of Clemson’s offensive success to the Jaguars to bring the team back to the playoffs and ultimately a Super Bowl.
