What piece of criticism has motivated Swinney in his life? An interview with Swinney and ESPN's Tom Rinaldi was shown on SportsCenter this morning.



Rinaldi asked Swinney what piece of criticism has motivated him in his life.



Swinney:



"Oh, shoot. We don't have enough time for that. We'd have to do a week documentary. All kinds of criticism. Criticized my whole life — not good enough. Not fast enough to play wideout at Alabama. Didn't come from the right type of family to go to college and get an education. Getting this job, a lot of people didn't think I had what it took to be a good head coach.



"So, there's all types of things that are good motivation, but my greatest motivation just comes from my internal drive. Just comes from what's inside."



"I always tell everybody when you get in this business, it's a dog-eat-dog world, and they give you a big ole pair of milk-bone underwear and say go get 'em," Swinney added. "I control what gets in between my ears. I love the quote, 'Don't let anyone walk between your ears with their dirty feet.'" Last edited by Gavin Oliver; 12-27-2016 at 09:09 AM .
