Larry Williams of Tiger Illustrated published his third Clemson book Clemson Tough: Guts and Glory Under Dabo Swinney (following Classic Clashes of the Carolina-Clemson Football Rivalry: A State of Disunion and The Danny Ford Years at Clemson) this year.
It promised to chronicle not only Clemson's magical national championship run, but the story of Dabo Swinney and how has impacted the Tiger program.
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.
