Swinney says he saw potential in Mendenhall from the beginning at Virginia

CLEMSON – Head coach Dabo Swinney built Clemson’s program from the ground up over the last decade, while maintaining one of the most stable staffs in the country, so he knows coaching talent and the characteristics of an up-and-coming program better than most.

All the traits, qualities and characteristics of a budding program and head coach can be found at Virginia and in Cavaliers’ head coach Bronco Mendenhall.

Mendenhall is in his fourth season at the helm and has taken what was a 2-10 team in 2016 to a 9-3 team and Coastal Division champions in 2019.
