When did you know that the Clemson football program was different under Dabo Swinney?
Clemson football is coming off their 10th consecutive double-digit win season. Prior to Swinney’s arrival, the Tigers had just seven seasons of 10 or more wins.
The Tigers are now a fixture among the elite of college football but 10 years ago the Tigers were coming off a 6-7 season that included an embarrassing loss to South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte.
