We travel back to late 2018 when Clemson was on a rampage to its second national title in three seasons.
In the days before Clemson's rivalry game against South Carolina, we visited with Steve Spurrier for his recollections about his epic wars of words with Dabo Swinney when Spurrier was the Gamecocks' coach.
As Spurrier crept closer to walking away from the game, and as he saw Swinney building Clemson into a powerhouse, the two became closer and Spurrier ended up inviting Dabo and wife Kathleen to his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Late in 2018, Rinaldi traveled to Clemson for an in-depth ESPN story on the 10th anniversary of Swinney taking over as Clemson's head coach. As he said during this interview, the inspiration for his feature was a multi-part series Tigerillustrated.com reported on the same topic earlier that fall.
The interview with Rinaldi took place as Clemson was preparing to face Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.
The Tigers went on to beat the Irish and Alabama by an aggregate 74-19 in the 2018 College Football Playoff.
