Clemson has played in the Orange, Fiesta, Cotton, and Sugar Bowls in 7 of the last 8 years with 4 championship appearances and went undefeated in the ACC last year. If this season sets off 3-4 years of hovering around 7-wins, then we can say they are headed to mediocrity.
Other programs are trying to win, too, and I would say the ascension of primarily Georgia, but also some of the other ACC schools taking things seriously (FSU, Miami, UNC) and Tennessee, LSU, and Ole Miss has been a factor. Along with them clearly missing the early boat on NIL, choosing poorly on QBs after having two generational ones, and having less money in the ACC versus the worst programs in the SEC and Big Ten are all factors.
He would still have his choice of jobs if he ever becomes available.
