Swinney's appreciation for this moment was 14 years in the making

CHARLOTTE, NC – Dabo Swinney is celebrating 14 years of being the head coach at Clemson with another trip to Charlotte and another chance at an ACC Championship.

Back on December 1st of 2008, Swinney’s interim tag was removed and he was named as the head coach of the Tigers. A lot has transpired since that time, and Swinney delved into that and myriad topics during Friday’s preview news conference at Bank of America Stadium, the site of Saturday’s game against North Carolina.

“Well, good to be back in Charlotte. Sat at home and watched this last year, so it's good to be back here and have an opportunity to represent the Atlantic, which I think is the only division in college football or at least Power Five to have six teams with seven-plus wins, so super excited about winning our division and earning an opportunity to be in this game,” Swinney said.
