Hope he has some incentives for winning ACC regular season, tourney, NCAA performance, etc, things he hasn't done yet. He's making progress though.

And he's number 1 with amount of money spent on the football staff. Clemson has to have the largest/best paid staff of any college sport in the country.

Dabo will enter the top 20 winningest coaches of ALL-TIME in 2025.

Dabo is the winningest coach in Clemson history.

In 17 seasons. Dabo has the 3rd most wins for active coaches. He’s behind only Brian Kelly (23 seasons) and Kirk Ferentz (27 seasons).

He’s the winningest ACC coach in history.

He’s second in overall wins in the playoff era.

Clemson is #2 in playoff appearances.

Dabo is second in playoff wins.

He’s 9-1 in ACC conference championship games. He has more conference championships than any coach in history, passing Frank Howard with his 9th trophy this season.

He has two national championships and played for two others.

Clemson is one of two teams to finish with 9 or more wins for 14 straight seasons.

Clemson owns the FBS record of 14 consecutive seasons with a postseason win.

With 180 wins in 17 seasons, Dabo has the 7th most wins through the first 20 seasons in head coaching career in all of history. He’s currently behind notable historical coaches Tom Osborne (195), Nick Saban (191), Bob Stoops (191), Joe Paterno (187), Urban Meyer (187) and LaVell Edwards (183). In 3 years, he will likely be the winningest coach through 20 years in the history of the game.

He’s currently the 5th longest tenured coach in college football.

Clemson’s continues to be a national leader in graduation rates. The 99 percent mark ot the 2014 and 2017 seasons was the highest ever recorded among public Power Five football programs in the 20 years the NCAA has tracked the metric.



Obviously Dabo Swinney is a legend in the game. He’s the best coach in ACC and Clemson history. In the playoff era, he’s done more than any coach not named Saban.

In addition to all the accomplishments and accolades above - in the last 4 “down” seasons, he still has the 6th most wins among power conferences. A slight drop yes, but when placing all the accomplishments and accolades together, it’s clear Dabo’s salary is justified.

1. Win the opener
2. Advance to the ACC championship game
3. Win the state
4. Win the ACC championship game
5. Win the closer

Achieving 2 out of 5 isn't bad when you consider that #5 is a CFP game. There was ONLY 12 teams in the playoff and ONLY 1 team came out of it without a loss.

That mean Brad is going to win the ACC title, right?

Our basketball team has shown that it can beat nationally ranked teams

and that its ACC record isn't a fluke.

We have done so the last several years. As you probably know, we are 5-0 in our last 5 games against AP top 5 teams.

In contrast, our football team hasn't shown an ability in recent seasons to beat teams that are nationally ranked. In fact, we are 0-5 in our last 5 football games against AP top 5 teams.

In other words, Clemson basketball is successful outside of the ACC lately, while football really hasn't been.

That puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

You know what you call the lowest rank team in the playoffs? A playoff team.

Ryan Day is 1-4 against Michigan with his only win in 2019. Maybe he’s over paid.

What’s he worth if/when he makes a serious run at another Natty this year!

He’s made the necessary changes and has the players to legitimately do this!

How many years of finishing outside the top 10 would Dabo need to have for you to think he doesn't deserve to be one of the highest paid coaches in the business?

Or does the fact that he's won a national championship automatically put him at or near the top? If so, Mack Brown was grossly underpaid at UNC.
