Swinney's message to fans during crisis: "We can kick this thing in the tail"

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney delivered a powerful message to Tiger fans Wednesday afternoon, telling everyone to lift up their fellow man, follow instructions, and we will all kick this thing in the tail.

The final six practices of the spring, which included the annual Orange and White Game, were canceled due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus. Swinney had not spoken with the media until a video that the football office released Wednesday afternoon.

“The biggest thing is I miss all of y’all. Sorry, we didn’t get a chance to finish up what we love to do,” Swinney said to the fans.
