Dabo Swinney is a petulant child and I'm glad he lost

His temper tantrum he threw after the perfectly called and beautifully executed onside kick was embarrassing to watch. Seemed like every time something didn't go his team's way, he was calling for holding.
And then this shite:
Bad officiating is a universal constant in this sport and everyone has to work around it. Deal with it.
I feel for the Clemson players who put on one hell of a show and have everything to be proud of, but their coach is a jagaloon.
And then this shite:

I think he had a good reason to be mad about using the timeout.

He acts like he is a player on the team who somehow just got promoted to head coach. He has great energy and I can see why players like him, but like you said - sometimes that energy is exhibited in childish ways.

The next few Clemson-USC games are going to be shite shows with him and Boom screaming at officials the entire game

As far as the onside kick, Dabo said his team was flagged and made to kick again on a similar play earlier in the year although I don't know the reference for it.
Not stopping the clock on the first down during the closing seconds was atrocious, both by the refs and clock operations people. Saban would have pulled a gun had it been Alabama.

I agree about the petulant child part, but not for the reasons you gave. He had every right to be pissed about the clock shite at the end of the first half. The onside kick thing was pretty stupid but if he honestly thought he had a gripe then I guess ok.
What turned me off was in his post game press conference he was ripping some of his players and it make me really uncomfortable. He didnt call their names or numbers, but he pointed out specific plays where "the guy had room to make the play but he just didn't." and it was just what he said but the way he said it, in pure disgust. I didn't like it and I'm usually a BIG Dabo fan because of his Bama roots. That seriously turned me off though and I'm not sure I will be as much of a fan of his after that.
With that said, I have never wanted him to be Alabama's future coach because I dont like his style of coaching, particularly on offense and his demeanor in terms of how we act and do things here at Alabama. It's just not a good personality fit, but after seeing that press conference last night it solidified me not wanting him to be our coach ever.

I am Bama through and through but I can understand his frustration on those two points of contention. The clock did wind off two seconds after the first down completion and then started running again before the ball was spotted.
The other point about the kick and catch was already explained by another poster.
At any rate, as you mentioned, officiating is always going to have some iffy calls in any sport, and you just have to work around it.
I didn't think they should have called PI on Bama in the 1st qtr and I think they should have called PI on Clemson on a play later in game (guy was pulling down on Bama players jersey in end zone as he was trying to catch it, announcers even mentioned it), but whatever, it happens. I'd rather let them fight for the ball than call PI on every questionable instance of it.

He shoulda threw a helmet at em for tfe clock error to end first half. That was terrible to let happen then terrible to not acknowledge and correct

Yea the onside kick thing was ridiculous but he had every reason to be livid about how the end of the half played out. I would have gone ape. That was a correctable mistake and they still blew it.
