Built to last: Swinney says his Tigers have staying power

SAN JOSE, CA – Clemson. Built to last.

Clemson University hasn’t always been at the top of the college football mountain and prior to 2016, if you would’ve asked people outside of the Southeast about Clemson, they probably would’ve looked at you a little strange.

The previous unknown and the way head coach Dabo Swinney built the program from the ground to the pinnacle of college football is what makes the Clemson program so special.

“But I definitely think we're unique because we're not some blue blood of college football. We're not the famous logo,” Swinney said during the national championship media day.
