“We still think we are the Death Valley. They can use the name too. We’re letting them borrow it. But I would say, at the end of the day, it’s about the respect I have for [Dabo Swinney] and what he’s developed in his program, and then maintaining that consistently year in and year out.”
In fairness to Clemson they had the nickname first — which most historical accounts attribute to Presbyterian head coach Lonnie McMillian who compared Memorial Stadium to Death Valley back in the ’40s.
