Thad Turnipseed

A decade ago, Thad Turnipseed left Alabama to join Dabo Swinney at Clemson and played a major role in turning the Tigers' football program into a cutting-edge operation on numerous levels.

Turnipseed, who spent 18 months at Oklahoma under Brent Venables, returned to Clemson with his family last summer and is currently spending most of his time in real estate.

Turnipseed, who recently became a grandfather, joins The Dubcast to reflect on the glory days at Clemson and whether Swinney can get the Tigers back to the top.

He also expresses great concern about the state of college football and where things are headed.

"My job was always solving problems, and I prided myself in being able to figure things out," he said.

"I have no idea how to solve this one."
