Do you agree with Dabo?

We all need a seminar defining targeting.

Dabo Swinney doesn't 'know what targeting is anymore' after Sammy Brown's ejection

Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney didn’t hide his frustration after the Tigers’ 24-20 win over Pittsburgh, specifically addressing two controversial calls: a fourth-quarter personal foul on Dee Crayton and a second-quarter targeting call on freshman line

I think that officiating was so bad the first few weeks of the season and coaches saw how it affected outcomes of games, like ours with LSU, they all want to jump onto the "Officials are awful and are causing us to lose" bandwagon.
YES, the officiating has been really rough this year but coaches need to back off a bit. I watched the last half of Clemsons game Saturday and Dabo and Pitt coach need to worry more about how awful that game was from a playing and coaching standpoint, than about officials. Yes refs made stupid calls in that game but both coaches put an incredibly awful product out on that field Saturday afternoon. It was almost comical.
I still think the announcer made the best comment of the season in that game towards the end before Clemson got the one big run when he said:
"Mike Tyson landed more blows last night than Clemson offense has all game." That was classic.

I agree that the targeting call is all over the map, but the Sammy Brown one was textbook. He led with the crown of his helmet, face was staring at the ground. In my day, it was called "Spearing" but that was an obvious one. The announcers made mention of how that was a no doubter.

I agree, it was a ''no doubter''.
Dabo is trying to be relevant by whining as he is getting a lot of negative press regarding the decline of the program.

I agree with his overall take. Many of here have complained about the targeting call in the past.

That said, I did not see this and see no replays of it online anywhere. If it was an egregiously bad call, I'd think there would be replays all over social media as there typically are.
