Related Topics: Joe Bostic, Jim Stuckey

We have a special series coming for you here on STS. I’ve teamed up with a history professor, our own James Welborn, to rank the top 10 Clemson head football coaches of all time. The Tigers have had 25 coaches since the program’s inception back in 1896. With that, the ranking was no easy task, but after much debate we have our top 10.
