CLEMSON — Before Dabo Swinney, no football coach at Clemson had more wins than Frank Howard.
From 1940 to 1969, Howard’s Clemson teams won 165 games, eight conference championships and three bowl games. Twice he was the ACC Coach of the Year, and during his time he was one of the most respected and beloved coaches in college football.
But despite all that success, Howard’s legacy at Clemson was tainted by one mark – he had a losing record against South Carolina. In fact, Howard is the only Clemson coach with a minimum of four games to have a losing record against the Gamecocks.
