Last February, Dabo Swinney chose National Signing Day to deliver a sermon to remind everyone about what has been accomplished under his watch.

It was much more fiery than the celebratory vibes that typically accompany the official unveiling of a complete recruiting class.

Two weeks ago, when Swinney made his comment about perhaps needing to lose a few more games to clear fans off the bandwagon, we thought about that February address.

And we thought back to it again Monday and Tuesday when the major topic was not Notre Dame, but his relationship with Clemson fans.

But none of the answers that some fans want about how he plans to manage the program beyond this season are coming anytime soon.
