We have a special series coming for you here on STS. I’ve teamed up with a history professor, our own James Welborn, to rank the top 10 Clemson head football coaches of all time. The Tigers have had 25 coaches since the program’s inception back in 1896. With that, the ranking was no easy task, but after much debate we have our top 10.
In this introductory post for the series, we start with our honorable mention:
Charley Pell (1977-1978): Charley Pell occupies a conspicuous-if-dubious place in in Clemson football lore. On the one hand, he guided the Tigers to two of their most memorable and successful seasons, effectively ushering in the “modern age” of Clemson football.
