As former South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney were taking jabs at each other during the early part of Swinney’s tenure at Clemson, their wives were forming a close friendship that still exists today.
After bickering publicly back and forth for years, Swinney and Spurrier are now friends, so much so that Swinney was in New York when Spurrier was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame last December.
But Kathleen Swinney and Jerri Spurrier have been friends for more than a decade since Dabo was named Clemson’s head coach in 2008.
