When Clemson football won the 2011 ACC championship—the program’s first in 20 years—Dabo Swinney recalls 5,000 fans waiting for the Tigers outside of Memorial Stadium to greet the team.
“It was unbelievable—we couldn’t even get off the bus,” Swinney said during a press conference Friday, per the Greenville News.
The Tigers have captured seven more conference crowns since the first of Swinney’s tenure, and now those days are gone.
