"Anybody that says Coach Brownell is the best coach to come through Clemson is going to start an argument." -JP Hall


Interesting line from Heisman's Wikipedia

The 1900 season saw "the rise of Clemson from a little school whose football teams had never been heard of before, to become a football machine of the very first power."[78] Clemson finished the season undefeated at 6–0, and beat Davidson on opening day by a 64–0 score, then the largest ever made in the South.[79]


Dabo still calls us little ol' clemson

With all the BS titles Alabama claims, we might as well claim 1900

Heisman basically invented the hurry-up offense and

brought it with him from Auburn to Clemson in 1900.

"The Tigers outscored their opponents 222–10; the 64–0 win over Davidson on opening day was then the largest score ever made in the South and the season's only home game. The only close game was with the South Atlantic school VPI."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Clemson_Tigers_football_team
"The Tigers beat Wofford 21–0 on October 22. Clemson agreed that every point scored after the first four touchdowns would not count."

"Going into the South Carolina game, Clemson had been strong on offense, but weak on defense. Kinsler and Douthit were both injured. The Tigers rolled up a 51–0 score on South Carolina."

"Before the game with Georgia, students in the dorms barraged Clemson players with bits of coal. Clemson went on to beat the Bulldogs for the first time, pulling away in the second half to overwhelm the Bulldogs 39–5."

"Clemson beat VPI 12–5 in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The game was shortened due to darkness."

"The season closed on Thanksgiving against the Alabama Crimson White, Clemson's first meeting with Alabama, at Birmingham's North Birmingham Park. The Tigers won 35–0. Clemson back Claude Douthit scored four touchdowns."

This is great, too


Jan 18, 2019, 11:56 AM [ in reply to Interesting line from Heisman's Wikipedia ]

"Walter Riggs led the effort to raise the $415.11 to hire Auburn's football coach John Heisman, the first Clemson coach who had experience coaching at another school. As Riggs recalled, 'By 1899 the Clemson football team had risen steadily until its material was equal to that of any southern college, and the time had come to put on the long-planned finishing touch.' Heisman once described his style of play at Clemson as 'radically different from anything on earth'."
