Larry Williams had a sizeable jump when penning “Dabo’s Dynasty: Clemson’s Rise to College Football Supremacy.” How sizeable? Try 14 years and three previous volumes about the Tigers’ program.
That said, even Williams — who has covered Clemson since 2008 for TigerIllustrated.com, plus four previous seasons with the Charleston Post & Courier — admits he never would’ve envisioned such a turnaround.
It helped, he said, in writing about the Tigers’ second national title in two years that much of his research came via his daily coverage.
