Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney spoke out against public demands for Florida State coach Mike Norvell to be fired, following the Seminoles' most recent defeat. Swinney addressed the matter during his weekly press conference at the Poe Indoor Facility in Clemson, South Carolina.
The criticism comes amid mounting pressure on Norvell after Florida State suffered another loss this season. Swinney characterized the gesture calling for Norvell's dismissal as something to be ashamed of, though specific details of the gesture were not elaborated in the report.
Both programs compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference, adding conference rivalry context to Swinney's defense of his counterpart. The Clemson coach's remarks highlight the scrutiny college football coaches face during difficult stretches.
