All in a day’s work for the Clemson coach as he spent some time in Florida, presumably recruiting…and getting into wrecks…and feeding pigs. That sounds pretty normal right?
Fortunately Twitter is here to give the play by play.
That could have made this story even more interesting.

As though all of that weren’t eventful enough, Swinney arrived at a recruit’s home somewhere in the wild kingdom.
The real story, according to The State, is that Swinney and his group were leaving Lake Buena Vista in Florida where they’d been attending the Home Depot College Football Awards show. En route to the Orlando airport, their vehicle, an SUV, was sideswiped by a smaller car. Swinney was on the phone when it happened and defensive assistant coach Marion Hobby was driving.
"“I’m on the phone, and I’m like, ‘That car is coming over!’ ” Swinney said Friday. “It just comes over and just smashes into us.“The car kind of slows down and then he takes off. The Alabama came out in me and I said, ‘let’s go get that sucker.’ Let’s go. If I’d been driving, we would have gone.”"
Fortunately no one was injured, but then the group’s charter plane blew a tire after an uneventful flight. According to Swinney, probably the best part of the whole trip was feeding grapes to the pig.
