Clemson ranked 2nd best ACC head-coaching job


by - Assoc. Editor -

ESPN has released his latest article ranking the ACC head-coaching jobs and it has Clemson #2 overall in the ACC behind Florida State.

Coach Dabo Swinney has turned the Tigers from perennial underachievers into annual ACC title contenders. There is a commitment to excellence at Clemson, and the Tigers have one of the most iconic stadiums in college football. South Carolina is not littered with prospects, but Clemson is close to Charlotte and Atlanta. (via ESPN.com)

Swinney is currently 61-26 (.701) in seven seasons (six full seasons) at Clemson with a 39-14 (.736) in ACC regular-season games.

Clemson has had 25 head coaches including Dabo Swinney since it began play in the 1896 season.

Legendary coach Frank Howard is the all-time leader in games coached (295), seasons (30) and wins (165) and beloved coach Danny Ford led Clemson to a national championship in 1981.

Wake Forest is the worse job in the ACC if you were wondering according to ESPN.
