When coaching at a school that has so much success and tradition as Clemson, the expectation to win is always high.
Clemson is one the all-time winningest schools in college football. It has won two national championships and has won more conference championships (23) than any other member institution in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
It has been to 42 bowl games dating back to the 1940 Cotton Bowl Classic. Besides the Cotton Bowl it has played in the Orange Bowl Classic six times, the Sugar Bowl twice and the Fiesta Bowl. In other words winning at Clemson is expected regardless of the situation.
