Finebaum Doesn’t Want to See Swinney End up Like Gundy
Following Clemson’s loss to Syracuse that dropped the Tigers to 1-3 for the first time under Dabo Swinney, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum said on The Matt Barrie Show that he believes “it’s over” for Swinney at Clemson and “it’s time for him to go.”
“I think it’s over at Clemson. Let’s quit trying to sugarcoat it,” Finebaum said. “Sometimes it’s very difficult to get it back when you’ve lost it. He lost it, he got it back, now he’s lost it again and he’s lost it badly. It’s time for him to go.”
Finebaum joined ESPN’s First Take this week and attempted to clarify what he meant by those comments about Clemson’s longtime head coach.
