that isn't proof there is more pressure at Alabama,
Sure there is. It's already been given to you. If you don't win 10 games and at the very least conference titles at Alabama or Auburn (or any of the big SEC programs for that matter), you'll be canned.
At Clemson, you get a decade to try.

just more knee jerk rednecks in charge of the programs.
Ken Hatfield was fired after 4 solid seasons inclding an ACC title.
So why was that? Knee jerk rednecks?

ticket sales went down b/c people though Danny Ford got railroaded and people just liked Ford, Hatfield wasn't' likeable.
it is stupid to say it is a pressure cooker for a coach that has won 4 national title in recent years. lol i would say that his onside kick thing last year is proof he wasn't under pressure. You are trying to win your first title at a program, you don't do that with the game tied and the other team has a great QB.
ask Bowden if it wasn't a pressure cooker for him the entire time he was there. lol i don't think he thought he was on easy street. he did improve the program significantly over Tommy West and the teams were more fun to watch than in the past.
i assume you would say more pressure at UGA than Clemson yet they kept Marc Richt for 15 years.

In all honesty, I doubt Dabo Swinney would have survived at Alabama or Auburn long enough to win a National Title
Year 1: 5 losses including one to your arch-rival South Carolina (7-6). Not to mention an embarrassing loss to Maryland (2-10).
Year 2: a horrible 6-7 record culminating in a second consecutive loss to arch-rival South Carolina (9-5) and a bowl game loss to South Florida (8-5). Ouch.
Year 3: An ACC Title probably wouldn't be enough to overcome the fact that he lost 4 of his final 6 games... including a 3rd consecutive loss to arch-rival South Carolina and the infamous 70-33 loss in the Orange Bowl to West Virginia.
Dabo averaged 5.3 losses per season during his first three years. That plus an 0-3 record in those years against South Carolina would not have kept him around at literally half of the SEC schools.
