Former NFL star delivers brutal verdict on Dabo Swinney's 'Outdated' philosophy

As the Clemson Tigers' season spirals into a historic disaster, one of college football's most iconic voices has delivered a blunt and devastating assessment of the man in charge.

Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton unloaded on Dabo Swinney this week, arguing that the only thing saving the two-time national champion from the hot seat is a single victory from last season.

"The only reason why Dabo Swinney is not like Deshaun Foster, is not like Billy Napier, is not like James Franklin, is because he just won an ACC Championship last year," Newton said on ESPN's First Take.
