In his 12 years at Clemson, Dabo Swinney has had some very good football teams.
Two of his teams have won national championships. Two others have played for it, while a total of six teams won an ACC Championship.
Clemson has played in the College Football Playoff in each of the last five years, played in Orange Bowls, Sugar Bowls, Fiesta Bowls and the Cotton Bowl during Swinney’s tenure.
And though the 2020 season does not start until Saturday when the top-ranked Tigers visit Wake Forest, Swinney is already calling this year’s squad special.
