The 2015-16 season marked a significant moment in Clemson football history. Not only did the team play in its first national championship in thirty-four years, but the nation also finally took note of the burgeoning renaissance. When Dabo Swinney told a national television audience about his team's willingness to "bring your own guts" after an emotional win over Notre Dame, it was a spontaneous line to a television reporter in the delirious, rain-soaked aftermath of a landmark victory. But Swinney's comment also underscored the identity and drive that would fuel a truly special season. Larry Williams relays the intimate details of Swinney's life, his impact on Tiger Town and his mission to create an elite program on and off the field.
Biographical Note: Larry Williams has covered Clemson football on a daily basis since early 2004, when he joined the Post & Courier of Charleston, South Carolina. In 2008, he moved to Tigerillustrated.com. In 2007, he was named South Carolina Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. In 2011, he and Travis Haney co-authored the book Classic Clashes of the Carolina-Clemson Football Rivalry: A State of Disunion. He released The Danny Ford Years at Clemson in 2012.
