Being a host for Clemson's flagship radio station is fine and dandy when the Tigers are winning championships.

But what about when they're cratering to 1-3 and 3-5 records in a season that was supposed to usher them back to the rare air of the elite?

That's a much tougher and more awkward line to navigate, as William Qualkinbush shares in a conversation with The Dubcast.

Qualkinbush and other hosts at WCCP-FM haven't held back in criticizing the Tigers or head coach Dabo Swinney this season, and he says the station has gotten no blowback from the school, athletics department or football office.

Qualkinbush hosts a weekday show from noon to 3 on WCCP, in addition to various play-by-play duties for Clemson Athletics.
