The weak conference is so overrated. UofSC only championship trophy ever is from the same weak conference with a 7-4, 6-0 record in 1969. CJ Spiller was a 5 star RB coming out of high school, was a first round NFL draft pick and now is in the college football Hall of fame in only his second year of eligibility to be inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame. When asked by the BOT 12 years ago what was Clemson going to do to become like the blue bloods of College football, Dabo responded, I don't want to be like Alabama, Michigan, USC, ND or Ohio St, I want Clemson to set the standard and for the Blue bloods to be like Clemson. As much as Steve Spurrier Changed college football from a X and O standpoint Dabo Swinney for the last 10 years and present day as changed the Culture/family oriented model of college football. Dabo has maintained ex Clemson players on his staff ( position coaches, OC or GA) through out is coaching career at Clemson. Nobody knows how Spiller is going to be as a position coach or how well he can recruit. Without a doubt he has a great story to tell and he will definitely be able to sell Clemson and the total experience he went through as a student athlete who had success with the coach who recruited him who is the head coach of Clemson. look no further Than the UofSC ( Erik Kimrey, Conor Shaw and Byron Jerideau) if you can't beat them, join them.
