Can I get a reasoning behind Hatfield over Swinney?

Not saying it's a crazy thought. Just wondering what your reasoning was.

close. Hatfield couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. First couple of years he had the most talented teams in Clemson history. By the third year, the recruits were gone and he was losing.
For some reason he was able to win 8 games his last season. We won every close game we played. It was very lucky. Our losses were horrible. 57-0 to FSU, 24-0 to UNC, a loss to Wake when Wake was horrible.

Actually West inherited a rebuilding project! Ken Hatfield was by FAR THE WORST RECRUITER that we have had at Clemson in my lifetime. When we got rid of him the cupboard was bare!

My lifetime.
1. Ford
2. Howard
3. Pell
4. Swinney
5. Bowden
6. Parker
7. Hatfield
8. West
9. Ingram
From the top…
If Ford wasn’t involved in probation, there would be more separation between him and Howard.
Howard took put us on the porch with the big dogs.
Pell would be higher, but he gets dinged for contributing to probation.
Swinney has us complaining about 10 win seasons. Maybe should be above Pell given Pell’s questionable ethics (yes, that is part of my criteria).
Bowden took a pitiful program and built it into a good team with some national significance. He set the stage for success.
Parker inherited a bad team and then Pell won with his players. He might should be higher.
Hatfield started the downward slide to ground zero and West dug a hole.
I was too young to remember, but Ingram’s record sucked.

How is Neely so low?
Dec 6, 2012, 2:34 PM
|

he had a mediocre record but his last 2 seasons were great (including Clemson's first bowl game), he coached Banks McFadden, and he helped Rupert Fike found IPTAY.
As far as his contributions to Clemson football, I'd put him top 5. I'd also put Hatfield right above Hootie Ingram and Red Parker as the 3 worst Clemson coaches.

Howard is severly overrated on your list.
Dec 6, 2012, 2:36 PM

Just because you coach for 800 years doesnt mean you are great. Check his stats. 3-3 in bowls, averaged finishing 4th in conference play, 165-118 overall.
