Clemson hired Dabo and he turned their program around.
Look at their record from 1990-2013. They had some ok years under Bowden, but weren't great. It seems like a lot of Tech fans are suffering from recency bias. We've been middling lately, but not anywhere near the bad programs in the country. A lot of other good programs are middling lately, too. If middling is the baseline bottom for Tech then we have a pretty good program still. Hopefully Pry is the right guy for the job to get the program back on the upswing. He seems like he's doing all the right things so far.

My post was meant to be a commentary on the ACC, not VT football.
