Dabo Swinney has gotten Clemson to a place where it can compete for championships every single season, thanks to his vision, personality and salesmanship.
And he's not only put together an exemplary staff, he's kept that staff together. Continuity in college football happens as often as Clemson wins a national championship. Continuity is the goal, of course, but it is difficult to actually achieve.
Since Swinney took over full time in 2009, staff turnover at Clemson has been held to a minimum. Over the past three years, only one assistant left: Offensive coordinator Chad Morris became the head coach at SMU after the 2013 season.
