DABO SWINNEY: I have zero doubt that we're going to be playing that the stands are going to be packed, and the valleys are going to be rocking. And we're going to be back at it. I don't have any doubt. That's the only thought I've got, is that thought right there.

All the rest of that stuff, I don't think about any of that. It goes back to when I first became head coach. I had a lot of people tell me I need to have a plan to win and a plan to lose. I did that early on, and then I hadn't done that in a long time. I've got one plan. That's a plan to win. And if it don't go that way, well, I have to figure that out in about three minutes.

So that's just my mindset. I've got one plan, and that is to get the Tigers ready to play come September or late August or whatever. And I don't have any doubt that's going to be the case. I have zero doubt. I mean, this is America, man. Listen, we're going to rise up, and we're going to kick this thing right in the teeth, and we'll get back to our lives.

That's a long time away, man. I mean, this is April the 3rd. So I've got one focus, and that's getting the Tigers in camp in August and get ready for Georgia Tech and getting in the valley in September. And I can't wait to celebrate with all of the Tigers fans.
