He may also have lost more than anyone else. I don’t know for sure, but he falls way short of greatness as a winning coach.

Do you qualify if you’re the biggest winner but also the biggest loser in your respective sport? 58% of the time, they win every time!
Go Tigers!

Greatest as in kick your a$$ is Danny Ford. He set a game plan and beat your brains out with it !
Greatest as in administrative is Dabo Swinney
Greatest as in establishing a program from the ground up is Frank Howard.
We have three coaches who have made Clemson what it is now. Looking at a combination of everything overall I have to choose Dabo !

While I agree that Hootie didn't have any coaching success at Clemson, he was the one followed the legend. His strengths were in administration, where he was the AD at both FSU and Alabama. While at Alabama he hired Gene Stallings who hired a young coach named William Christopher Swinney. Oh, and the iconic Paw was introduced under Ingram while at Clemson, and no doubt this is the most recognizable logo in all of college sports bar none.

You'd have to be 120 years old for John Heisman to be a valid answer to this question

It's all about consistency, longevity, and wins/loses for me.
1. Dabo - Football
2. Ibrahim - Soccer
3. Noonan - Soccer
4. Ford - Football
5. Wilhelm - Baseball
6. Penley - Golf
7. Leggett - Baseball

Dabo Swinney is not only the greatest Clemson coach in my lifetime, he is the greatest coach in the 134 year history of Clemson University

Most difficult build for national championship? Noonan and Penley. Great coaches with limited resources who won and won and won.
Dabo is greatest coach unlimited resources but he probably could have done it with lot less.
