Paul Finebaum goes off on ‘stupid’ Dabo Swinney

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s latest defense of his program has sent Paul Finebaum off the deep end.

Swinney defiantly said at ACC Media Days on Thursday that he had nothing to prove to anyone having already won a national title, and pointed to the success Clemson has had over the last 15 years. That did not fly with Finebaum, who accused Swinney of spending too much time harping on past glories without adding any more success.

“I am getting so exasperated listening to Dabo tell us how great he used to be. They’re not great anymore,” Finebaum said on ESPN’s “Get Up!” “You don’t hear Brady talking about his Super Bowls. Dabo is just stuck on stupid right now trying to convince us that his program is still legitimate. It’s not. It’s slipping and sliding away. It’s good. Maybe they’ll win nine games this year, maybe they won’t, but they lost six games last year with the Heisman favorite. That is downright embarrassing.”
