In a recent Facebook video, former Clemson All-American, Terry Kinard, and his son, Jaden, reiterated their accusations against Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney. The video comes after Terry Kinard's initial Facebook post, where he implied that his son was treated unfairly at a practice. Jaden claims that he was singled out by Coach Swinney following an accountability run, with the coach making personal attacks regarding his effort and lifestyle. Terry Kinard stated that he did not want to make the matter public, but asked Jaden about what happened at a team meeting the next day

Jaden explained that Coach Swinney continued with the personal attacks during practice, even questioning whether it bothered him. According to Jaden, the coach told him that he was not good enough to play and referred to him as an entitled five-star walk-on. Terry Kinard expressed his belief that the comments were out of place and wanted to address the issue as a father. He clarified that their intention was not to harm Clemson University or tear down Coach Swinney

Jaden Kinard, a redshirt freshman safety and member of the Clemson scout team, had already decided to transfer from the university but wanted to finish the season and play in the bowl game. Coach Swinney did not have a media availability scheduled following practice but commented on the incident after a signing day news conference. He mentioned that an accountability run took place, where a few players were reprimanded for their performance. Swinney emphasized that football at this level requires discipline, accountability, and toughness, highlighting the challenges involved.
