Has Dabo Swinney surpassed Steve Spurrier in accomplishment?

All categories are accepted. Wins? Winning %? Bowl wins? National Titles? Conference titles? National COTY awards?
Make your argument either way.

Easily. I’ll let others make my own subjective argument more objective

Dabo was a better man, father and winner before he was born than spurtnuts.

No question. And I believe Dabo was a big reason for Spurrier quitting like he did

No. Dabo has never won the SEC least.

Winning that can be harder than winning the natty, or something.

Spurrier can be credited for changing the way offense was played in CFB (especially the SEC when he was at UF). He deserves credit for the rare success of USCe 2010-13, but also gets credit for their fall off the cliff afterwards. Toward the end he was still a good game day HC, but the rest of the game passed him by. Dabo can be credited with developing the part that passed SOS by; recruiting and selling the brand in the social media era.
As both a UF and CU fan; I say the edge goes to Dabo (and he is not done).

While Spurrier brought a new pass happy offense to the SEC

Led by the likes of the well respected bachelor, Jesse Palmer, I’d hardly say he changed the offense in that league. It’s still 3 yards and a cloud of dust save a couple teams.

OK, since no body else will give the stats, I will:
Spurrier - 228- 89- 2, a winning percentage of 71.5% over 26 seasons. 11 of 26 seasons as at least division champs. One Natty. One ACC coach of year, One SEC coach of year. 319 games.
Dabo Swinney - 116- 30, a winning percentage of 79.5% over 11 seasons. 7 of 11 seasons with at least a division championship. Two Natties. National coach of year 11 times (over 2015, 2016 and 2018 seasons, multiple services). 146 games.
So Dabo has played less than half the games and less than half the seasons, but has twice the Natties many more coach of years, and much better win percentage. The only pluses you can give to Spurrier is that he had more wins, more scandalous players, and was proven a quitter along with his legendary drinking!
No comparison! Dabo wins going away!

Has Dabo ever gotten polluted before a 9 am filming and then needed to be held onto his interview stool during a live coach's show ?
Did he ever skidaddle from a job in the middle of a season because he couldn't win with the players he'd recruited ?
I don't know about surpassed career-wise , but he's absolutely demolishing SOS in the " How not to embarrass yourself " category .

Dabo is a much better person and in my opinion, a class act. The big difference is, Dabo isn't afraid to come to the Carrier Dome. Steve Superior after visiting once said, never again!

Interesting that you would compare the 'most hated' coach I've ever known with the 'most loved' coach. You went full spectrum to make this comparison.
