And agree with your bigger point: Swinney seams like a good guy...I just can't stand the in-your-face religious schtick. 

Why the animosity towards his Evangelical beliefs?

Schtick? Seriously?!? I wouldn't suggest trying that out on an athlete fasting during Ramadan.

FWIW, here's an interesting article on the Clemson program. While I don't share his Evangelical ideology, I do respect his right to practice it without ridicule.

I consider myself religious (actually attend mass most weeks), but I'm not big on PDRs (Public Displays of Religion - or PDAs, for that matter).  But that's not why I'm tired of Swinney - who admittedly is a great coach.

Rather, was sick of his belly aching about his team being outside the Top 4 for most of the year; no respect; only undefeated defending champ treated that way in history; blah, blah, blah.  Just stop already!  There was never any doubt that if Clemson won out they would be in the Final Four.  As for the lack of respect, how about playing somebody worth a damn OOC (or in conference, for that matter)?  And eking out a 1-point win over UNC didn't help matters, either.  Just got tired of his whining.

One of the few great Harbaugh quotes that I always appreciated:  "Just shut up and play."
