Dabo Retrospective, Part 2

As part of Tigerillustrated.com's lengthy 25th anniversary series uncovering untold stories over that stretch of time, we continue with a glimpse back at the transformative days of 2008. Two days after a dominant victory over South Carolina that sealed the removal of the interim tag from his title, Dabo Swinney was introduced at a press conference on the third floor of the West End Zone facility. This is the uncut digital audio from that press conference, provided by Jeff Kallin and Matt Glenn of the Clemson Athletics Department. Terry Don Phillips drew an ovation toward the end of the press conference when he said:  "I say with great confidence that Dabo Swinney is going to become one of the great coaches in America."
