3. Clemson
A handful of coaches say that you can make an argument that Clemson is the best job in the country, factoring in the school’s deep pockets, the passionate fan base, a beautiful location and fairly reasonable expectations.
That last part might be changing, though, now that Dabo Swinney has taken the program to the mountaintop. In large part, Swinney was able to get Clemson there because of a commitment that was ahead of the curve relative to other regional rivals. The school shelled out a million-plus for a coordinator when only Alabama was paying at that level.
It’s not going to get complacent, either: The new football complex, with an almost absurd number of bells and whistles (a slide, laser tag, a nap room, etc.), demonstrates that internal support train is not slowing down.
