Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney took over as the leader of the program more than a decade ago and things have changed quite a bit since then.
Swinney, who had gotten back into coaching after a successful run in real-estate, was named the interim head coach following the resignation of Tommy Bowden.
That ‘interim tag’ officially came off of Dabo Swinney on December 1, 2008 as he was introduced as the Tigers’ new Head Coach.
While it doesn’t seem all that long ago that Swinney was just getting the Clemson football program off the ground, the truth is that nearly 12 years have passed since that point.
