Here is an example what success does for a program and a fan base.
Ten years ago, there were plenty of Clemson fans and members of the media who were questioning Terry Don Phillips’ hiring of Dabo Swinney to run the football program. The Tigers were coming off a 6-7 record in 2010, the program’s first losing season since 1998.
They closed the 2010 campaign by losing to South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, a loss many have said is the most embarrassing in Clemson Football history.
But look at the Clemson Football Program now.
