Clemson fans aren't buying Dabo Swinney's angry sideline tirade vs Duke

It has been a long, long, long time since the Duke Blue Devils could genuinely say they had a chance at keeping pace with the Clemson Tigers. Yet, on Saturday afternoon, they were doing just that.

At halftime, the two ACC teams were tied at 28 points apiece, and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was losing it as his team struggled to slow down Duke's offense. After the Blue Devils tacked on their 28th point, Swinney ripped into some of his players on the sidelines.

Immediately, Clemson fans flew to social media to let the world know that even they weren't buying Swinney's meltdown, basically calling their head coach a terrible actor for his performance.

Swinney, a deeply religious man, isn't usually known for his anger, but his antics during the game against Duke were surely something to be seen (and maybe laughed at).

Steve Addazio, who was one of the ACC Network commentators for the matchup, even commented that he could hear Swinney's tirade all the way up in the announcer's booth.

Just a few weeks ago, Swinney had a similar meltdown as the Tigers struggled against and eventually lost to the Syracuse Orange. His anger then received the same kind of distaste that it was receiving now.

While Swinney undeniably led Clemson to one of its most dominant eras in program history, his downfall has been swift, and many college football fans are ready to see him out of work.

As the second half kicked off, a similar fate seemed to await the Tigers, as the Blue Devils matched their score almost immediately. With a 35-35 score against a team that is undeniably from a basketball school, Swinney might be searching LinkedIn for job openings by the end of the day.

Heading into the conference matchup, Clemson was 3-4 overall and 2-3 in ACC play, a far cry from the program that won a National Championship just seven years ago and won the conference title last season.
