This one is EASY. Clemson didn't become elite overnight. IMHO, Clemson was a very average team when Dabo took over. Most Clemson folks won't say that, but it's true. Being in the ACC got a couple of extra wins a year, but this was a 6-7 win football team in any other conference.
It took Dabo a couple of years to start building up, but the arrow has been pointed that way since the LSU bowl game.
Pretty much spot on.
How did UofSC get 2 5 Stars coming off a 4-8 season with a lame duck coach?
Thad Turnipseed. That’s exactly how.
I've asked this question on the UGA board but most folks over there don't really have an answer and you'd never get a good answer on the Clemp site so maybe I should ask some of you who live in South Carolina. That program while yes had been consistent became a juggernaut in 2015. The year before they went 10-3 but had blowout losses to UGA & GT and even in the years before that they would have nice records but blowout losses to you guys & usually FSU or someone. So my question is how did they turn it around so quickly? They've had the OC/DC for years. Elite players for years. Did they just sell there soul or something?
So after honestly giving Clemson their due, what’s the first thing Carolina needs to do to start closing the gap? Can’t be fire CWM. IMO;
1. Commit to a high octane offensive scheme - recruit those athletes right now.
