The Clint/Coulson ship developed because of the S.H.I.E.L.D. scene in Thor, when Thor storms the New Mexico operations to get back his precious hammer. Coulson sends Hawkeye "up high" for a good sniper viewpoint should the situation get out of hand. Although, iirc, Hawkeye isn't mentioned by name in the scene, we all know who he is and the audience gets a kick out of seeing Renner's cameo. The repartee between Clint and agent Coulson during the scene sparked the ship.

Admittedly, I think the Clint/Coulson fans took one scene and ran with it to amazing lengths, but I don't see what's so wrong with that? I mean, ships have been based on far less in the source material before. The appeal of the pairing, I think, is that there is so little to work around from canon, that you can mold and play with in fanfiction or fanart or what have you. The pairing has become popular with people who like to develop their own backstories, or like more freedom to work with characters in their own fanfiction. Also, since Coulson was a Marvel movieverse OC (but, iirc, has since appeared in select comic books), Clint/Coulson fans don't have comic purists breathing down their necks about accuracy or incorrect backstories or retcons or whatever (as I assume Steve/Tony movieverse fans get a lot of).
