Over the course of the Clemson football program’s history, we’ve seen all kinds of villains. We’ve seen players and coaches that Tiger fans just absolutely can’t stand. We’ve seen media members, referees and opposing fan bases that have become nothing more than antagonists to the Clemson football fan base.

Biggest villains in Clemson football history: 11. Opposing Fans and Media
We’ve looped all of this into one so that we can focus on prominent figures on-the-field for the rest of the post.
From Paul Finebaum to Greg McElory to Colin Cowherd to Phil Kornblut to Gene Sapakoff and everyone in between, there have been plenty of media analysts to rub Clemson football fans over the course of the program’s history.
From media members doubting and criticizing the Tigers- even taking unsolicited shots for no reason- to opposing fan bases (like South Carolina and Georgia) who have grown to absolutely hate Clemson, there’s plenty of villains to choose from. Perhaps one of the biggest villains to add to this list is the Ohio State fan base, which is still living in the past and claiming the officials somehow gifted Clemson the win over the Buckeyes in the Playstation Fiesta Bowl back in December.
There are plenty of opposing fans and media that could be placed on this list, but now let’s take a look at some players and coaches who make up the biggest villains in Clemson football history.
