Swinney on Weather Contingency Plans for This Weekend

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney held his final media availability of the week on Wednesday evening as the 17th-ranked Tigers prepare to host Stanford on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Swinney was asked about weather contingency plans and what information they have gotten for Saturday as far as the weather is concerned.

“It hasn’t changed anything, other than we had to come inside today. We started outside but had to come in,” Swinney said following Wednesday’s practice regarding whether the weather has changed anything with the team’s preparation.

“We have a lot of contingency plans. We anticipate it being clear and a nice gameday. But those are the type of things our operations people really spend a lot of time on, what-ifs – what if we lose power, what if our hotel loses power, cooking food. There’s a lot of things that you have to really plan for in a situation like that. It may not happen that way, but we’ve got to have a plan just in case. So, (Director of Football Administration and Player Personnel) Mike Dooley does an amazing job in making sure that no matter what happens, we’ll be ready to roll.”

Clemson (2-1, 1-0 ACC) will face Stanford (2-1, 1-0) for the second time in history and for the first time as ACC colleagues in Saturday’s Homecoming contest at Death Valley. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN).
