Finebaum calls Swinney a ‘lousy loser’

ESPN personality Paul Finebaum fired a shot at Dabo Swinney in the aftermath of Clemson’s 27-21, double-overtime loss to NC State last Saturday in Raleigh.

Finebaum called the Tigers’ head coach a “lousy loser” during a conversation with ESPN college football studio host Matt Barrie on The ESPN College Football Podcast.

“Dabo Swinney, for all of his charm, is a pretty lousy loser,” Finebaum said. “Nobody wants to hear his whine, nobody really wants to hear him say whatever he says. He’s not even a good winner, but he’s a terrible loser.”

Finebaum also gave his thoughts on the current state of Clemson’s program with the Tigers sitting with two losses before the end of September.
