2. Best Coaching Staff in the Nation
How many programs can say what Clemson football can?
The Tigers have basically kept their entire staff together. Dabo Swinney, who is already one of the best two coaches in the nation, has the best defensive coordinator in the nation with him for yet another season in Brent Venables.
Don’t forget that the Tigers also have Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott as co-offensive coordinators. The staff’s continuity has led to historically great recruiting. It’s also led to a lot of wins.
This coaching staff, just like the veteran leaders, knows what it takes to win a National Championship. They’re going to get it done this season.
