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.

this is evidence Clemson has a better athletic deparmtnet now compared to SEC schools.
but again,, this isn't proof that it is less of a pressure cooker. i can tell u Dabo was feeling the pressure especially after losing to SC 5 years in a row.
u guys act like the school doesn't have to pay a lot of money to break a contract with a coach. CLemson probably would ahve moved on to another coach sooner if not for the contract. I think CU is still paying Bowden.
