Clemson Tigers football head coach Dabo Swinney officially say a big yes to 14-years contract extension to…

Clemson is rewarding football coach Dabo Swinney with a 10-year, $115 million contract extension, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger.

The new pact represents the richest deal in college football history in terms of total compensation, supplanting the $112.5 million contract Georgia’s Kirby Smart signed in July. It also places Swinney second nationally in salary among college football coaches, as measured by average annual value, behind only Nick Saban of Alabama.

The Clemson Board of Trustees approved Swinney’s new pact Thursday morning, securing the services of the school’s longtime coach for the foreseeable future. Swinney initially took over as head coach at Clemson in an interim role from Tommy Bowden during the 2008 season. He officially was promoted to the head coaching role following the 2008 regular season.

Since then, all Swinney has done is become the most successful football coach in school history. He boasts a 151–36 career record (.807) with two College Football Playoff national championships. Swinney is 7–1 in ACC Championship Games and 11–7 in postseason bowl games.

“It is hard for me to believe I am in my 14th full season as your head coach, and I remain eternally grateful and honored for the opportunity to continue coaching and developing young people of excellence at Clemson.” Swinney said in a statement. “This agreement is representative of what has been collectively built here and the success we’ve had both academically and athletically. It is a reflection of the ALL IN commitment of so many people, including our players, our staff, our fans, our administration and our University leadership. While I am certainly proud of our accomplishments on the field, the most rewarding part remains the relationships forged within this program and the ability to positively impact those around us.”

The new pact, which runs through the 2031 season, will pay Swinney an average of $11.5 million annually. Only Saban, who signed a contract extension in August, earns more at $11.7 million per year. Smart ranks third at $11.25 million annually.

Swinney, 52, trails only Frank Howard in career wins at Clemson. Howard won 165 games with the Tigers, but he amassed that total over 30 seasons (1940–69). Swinney could equal that total as soon as late this season, his 15th as head coach of the Tigers, if Clemson wins the CFP national championship game.

Led Zeppelin the Best Band of all time Led#1 forever, Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, consisted of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. After reshaping the sound of rock with their debut Led Zeppelin (1969), they followed with Led Zeppelin II (1969), III (1970), and IV (1971), which featured the immortal “Stairway to Heaven.” The band seamlessly blended blues, hard rock, and folk influences with unmatched intensity. Physical Graffiti (1975) and Presence (1976) showed their experimental range, while In Through the Out Door (1979) reflected musical evolution. Known for mystique and explosive live shows, Zeppelin avoided releasing singles, encouraging full-album experiences. The band dissolved after Bonham’s death in 1980, but their 2007 reunion at the O2 Arena proved their enduring magic. Selling over 300 million records, Led Zeppelin are Rock Hall inductees and cultural cornerstones, often cited as the greatest rock band in history.

Sabbath formed the year I was born, first song I learned on guitar was Sweet L3af, saw Ozzy in ‘82 just after the plane crash, countless Ozfest’s, 1998 reunion show, etc etc….. I’ve seen a lot of fans talking about what band was uninvited, or who didn’t live up to the hype, or which band shouldn’t have been there… I watched the entire show and, for me, the lifetime soundtrack was as touching and meaningful as a McCartney concert…
