Dabo Swinney FREAKS OUT on punter for ill-advised fake punt

From the 2015 ACC title game.

That's a lonely feeling.... Everyone cleared out. He's sitting on the bench alone

Even if his run was successful to get 1st down, he would still get an earful from the coach. It was 4th down and 15 from the scrimmage at the 30-yard line in his team's territory. He was 15 yards behind scrimmage, meaning he had to run 30 yards to get the 1st down -- without any teammates to block. He's not a running back. So the odds of this fake punt to be successful is virtually zero.

Some of ya'll don't get the play call was a punt. He went off and had the audacity to call a play for himself at a horrible time. Leading to an easier score on the other end. Also in a title game. That is insanely selfish in the ultimate team sport. Thats why Dabo lost it. Mistakes happen but showing terrible character is completely controllable.

That was funny as hell you think the punter walked home after that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The kid learned a life lesson. Sometimes you can do more harm than good even if you meant well. If he learns from this, he'll be a better man.

My fav quality in Dabo is his ability to stay calm under stressful situations 😅😂😂😂

[ownthispwn]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dabo kept coming back to fire his ass up after he walked away. Kicker prob like ok its done, SHIT he doubling back

Moral of the story “ Do what you’re supposed to do” !

[falconbaker]

He got to run a fake punt the next game, dabo was just making a point, id rather be yelled at them ignored

[codycurnutte]

It’s one thing if you are sneaky fast but to just be jogging is wild

Team sport here…play within the confines of the coaching staff. They take the heat, not you.

In the end his team still won, so I guess he was able to rest easy afterwards

[nuzhinga]

Dabo career flashed before his eyes. 😂😂

[c.e.w]

He thought he had a wide open lane but the problem is his would-be blockers weren’t aware he was gonna run.

“We need to talk about your TPS reports…”

[stupendous]

I don't really care for Dabo, but to be fair to him, that was a really stupid thing to do.

[HandsomeFrogman]

The last guy you think is gonna do you wrong is your punter lol

[michaelhammond]

Getting that "NIL" one way or another 😆

[FootballMerritt]

this is one thing if he were to do it on 4th and 2 but on 4th and 15 is insane😂😂😂😂

[andrewrichter]

Dabo needed up running him on a fake punt and he got the first down
