It's been 20 years since Tommy West was preparing for what would be his final season as Clemson's head football coach.

West, who signed five top 25-ranked recruiting classes with the Tigers from 1994-98, including the nation's No. 10-ranked haul in 1995 and 15th-ranked class in 1997, suffered a 3-8 season in 1998. It marked the Tigers' worst showing on the football field since Red Parker's 3-6-2 record in 1976.
