Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney could be in some serious hot water after a former player made some serious allegations against him on Satuday.
According to former Clemson running back Hamiid Williams, Swinney used the N-word while scolding players about the music they were listening to in the locker room.

If i say this and you weren't in the room people are gonna think Im on hallucinating.
We played music everyday before practice for obvious reasons. Mike Reed, new/prospective CB coach came to visit and he toured our locker room while we were listening to music.— Haamid.eth Williams (@HWill39) June 6, 2020

And that was it. Players told him to watch his language and chill out. Then we went to practice. Ive seen interviews of players who walked out that day that said they still like Dabo in NFL interviews.

Kind of feel bad for talking about Dabo. But I was told by multiple people he talked shit about me in a team meeting the year after I was no longer on the team.

Update: Former Clemson tight end Brandon Ford came to Swinney’s defense and denies the allegations.

These accusations come less than a week after Clemson assistant coach Danny Pearman apologized for using the n-word while speaking to at a practice one day during the 2017 season.

I don't have an ax to grind. You cant do the exact same thing Pearman did, and then force him to apologize to the nation and team. Its a joke
