Players say Swinney handled last week 'perfectly'
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has come under fire recently from some in the national media for a lot of things, especially his handling of the Danny Pearman racial slur incident.
A tweet also surfaced Saturday with a picture of Swinney wearing a “Football Matters” T-shirt and then there was an accusation from former walk-on Haamid Williams that Swinney used a racial slur while giving a tour of the Tigers’ football facility to a potential coach.
Swinney denied the accusation from Williams, calling it “false,” and also said the insinuation he was trying to mock the “Black Lives Matter” movement with his “Football Matters” T-shirt is an “attack on my character.”
