Dabo Swinney dreamed big, but never about being a National Championship coach

Dabo Swinney has always dreamed big, and as a young man growing up in Pelham, Alabama, he dreamed that he would one day be a starting shortstop for a Major League team, a starting point guard in the NBA, and the quarterback of an NFL team. Not once did he dream he would coach a team that would win a college football National Championship, but Swinney isn’t one to put limits on his dreams.

Now entering his 14th season (and 13th full season) as Clemson’s head coach, Dabo Swinney has already carved his name into the Clemson record books by becoming the first coach in program history to lead Clemson to multiple national championships.
