On Monday, Dabo Swinney held a press conference to speak on what was going on in the United States after the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops.

“We are all hurting for the Floyd family, and our country. I can speak for our entire staff and team in that regards. We have all witnessed disgusting acts of evil over the past week here,” Swinney told reporters.

"There's no question that these are challenging times, when there is no challenge, there is no change. We all have to accept the challenge to help change."

Soon after, former walk-on Kanyon Tuttle, son of Clemson Hall of Famer and 1981 national champion Perry Tuttle, alleges that Dabo Swinney did nothing after a Clemson coach called one of his teammates the N-Word during a practice.

Cap, you allowed a coach to call a player the N-word during practice with no repercussions. Not even a team apology. When we had the sit-in in front of sikes you suggested us players try to stay out of it to limit distractions. Stop protecting your brand, take a stand https://t.co/7gznXmyniI

Tuttle later clarified while he still has plenty of respect for his former Clemson coach, “he needs to do better than this.”

Don’t think I don’t respect Coach Swinney, he is not a terrible person by any means. But he needs to do better than this. All the black athletes that helped you get where you are, you can do better to show them you really have their best interest at heart
