Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has been criticized on the airwaves and on social media over the last few weeks, but the ones who know him best, his players, said Thursday that their head coach has handled it “perfectly.” They also say he has empowered them to create the change they seek.
The use of a racial slur by an assistant coach followed by Swinney wearing a “Football Matters” shirt to the pool to the false tweet by a former player that Swinney also said something inappropriate has been met with vitriol from across the nation.
