MAIN Football College Football Clemson

"Always a bridesmaid, never a bride", the Tigers over the past two decades have consistently put together a strong team with the ability to win big — but somehow it just never seems to happen.

One of the most storied teams in college football and currently in the NCAA's Division I, the Clemson Tigers reside at Frank Howard Field at Memorial Stadium also known by its popular nickname "Death Valley".

Some of the most notable coaching names in Clemson football history are John Heisman (the Heisman Trophy is named after him), Frank Howard (whom the playing field at Death Valley is named after), and Danny Ford.

Tommy Bowden, son of famed Florida State University coach Bobby Bowden, led the Tigers for ten years until a dramatic firing in October 2008 after a weak start to the season. The Tigers are now led by former assistant head coach Dabo Swinney.

Will the Tigers finally take it to the championship this year? Stay tuned.
