Leggett Moving Up The All-Time Wins Lists

As TCI has followed over the past two seasons, Clemson Head Coach Jack Leggett has been moving up the All-Times Wins List by a Division I Head Coach. With an 11-8 win at Georgia Tech on April 29, 2012, Leggett moved into sole possession of 14th place on the All-Time Wins List. This season Leggett again should move up several spots on the list and TCI will continue to track his climb throughout the 2013 season.
